I never played these back in the day - how well do they hold up? I'm a sucker for Zelda games, esp. overhead ones so I'm sure I'll get them anyway, just curious.
They're both great, if you like the overhead ones these are a must, definitely get both as well. I'm waiting to download them since my 3DS is charging on low battery and won't download them until it's charged enough

They are basically souped up versions of Link's Awakening, so if you liked that game you will like these. When you finish one, you can link it with the other to open a bonus sub quest and a lot of extras.
Did anyone confirm that these work the same as they did in the GBC. You just enter one password into another game? I'll have to buy them right now and play them later since I am currently playing DK which is the first DK game that I play since DK 64 and I love it. Makes me want to pull out my SNES to play DK Country!

They work just like the other GB Virtual Console games.
As much as I'd like to have these on my 3DS I can't justify paying even $1 for them. I still own both original carts and I've played each game at least 5 times - probably more.
The upgrade is worth it to me based on convenience and not having to worry about the dying battery losing my save. I've also never played them, so there's that too.

Not really. They were designed to be played in any order.
Also, do note that there was a bonus ring that could only be obtained by playing it on a GameBoy Advance. Since you can't do that here, that ring is lost forever.

Codes from playing on GBA still work on these, so no, not forever.
I finished the second Dungeon and have the second essence. I'm having trouble getting to the swmp though, even with the kangaroo. I'm just exploring though and having fun doing it.
