A strange sorcerer named Yuga is turning Hyrule’s people into paintings, and Link soon becomes one of his targets. But the ability to merge into walls gives Link a way to escape and opens paths into Lorule, a troubled kingdom whose fate is tied to Hyrule’s own.
A Link Between Worlds returns to the Hyrule introduced in A Link to the Past, with familiar landmarks and new secrets to uncover. Ravio’s item rental shop lets you tackle many dungeons in the order you choose, while moving along walls as a painting changes how you explore, solve puzzles, and reach hidden treasures.
Use our walkthrough, dungeon guides, and collectible locations to find the lost Maiamai, gather every Heart Piece, and help Link rescue the Seven Sages.
