We cover every game from the first week of the 3DS Virtual Console.

The 3DS eShop launched this week, and with it the first round of handheld Virtual Console titles. What we got ranged from high profile Nintendo franchise titles to obscure and forgotten games. We here at Nintendo World Report have played all of them, and are here to offer you our opinions of which ones are worth your time and money in this bumper launch edition of recommendations.
Super Mario Land kicks off the week, with J.P. finding the game a little on the short side, but ending with high difficulty. The unique formula for a Mario title makes it something that fans must see for comparison's sake at least. He also takes a look at Radar Mission for us, finding it to be a surprisingly good title that he missed the first time around.
Zach Miller finds that Alleyway is not worth his time, instead suggesting that you wait for a better version of Breakout/Arkanoid.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX adds a splash of color to the otherwise monochrome view. While it's a little more costly than the other titles, Andrew thinks the value is there due to the fun, charm, and game length.
Finally, Nick goes to the trials of basic tennis against a CPU player. He is happy with the controls overall, but there is some learning curve before you'll be consistently volleying with your opponent.
I think Link's Awakening is the best Zelda ever!
Tennis was released in Europe, not North America.

Hyperbole aside, I'm just an hour in but this is super-fun. I'd never played this before, I was half-afraid it would be like the first Zelda, but it's much closer to Link to the Past in terms of gameplay. Good candidate for a RFN retrospective, maybe?
I'm one of them, although I separate the series into 2D and 3D categories. Link's Awakening is my favorite 2D game, followed by Link's Awakening and Oracle of Ages. Wind Waker is my favorite 3D Zelda, followed by Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. LA might gain the edge as the best Zelda ever, but separating the franchise into two sections allows me to never have to choose...it's too hard to pick the best one.QuoteI think Link's Awakening is the best Zelda ever!

It's not hyberbole if it's true. 8) I know there are at least a few others here, including me, that call it their favorite Zelda.
