5.0 out of 5 stars Essential if you have a GBA and Zelda The Wind Waker, 7 Nov 2003
By Justin Howard "vtraveller" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Simply put, you'd be a fool not to buy this cable if you own a GBA and Zelda The Wind Waker. A whole interactive hint and task/puzzle system is accessible through the GBA while playing on the GameCube.

For a lot of things in Zelda the GBA acts like a sort of GPS showing you map information and allowing you to locate specific areas that you need to navigate to.

The single more important advantage about this cable compared to the Nintendo one is that you can charge a GBA SP while linked to the GameCube. That's an even more important point than price, as ideally the GBA needs to be turned-on for the duration of the game.

The same is true of other upcoming titles such as Square-Enix's Crystal Chronicals, where in multiplayer mode you need a collection of GBA's continually connected to the GameCube.

The official cable from Nintendo has an unnecessary locking mechanism for the cable the width of the GBA (hence covers the charging connector).

1.0 out of 5 stars A One-Sided Affair, 10 Nov 2005
By G. Bright "chronically sedulous" (Derbyshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I've only used this cable with Pokemon Colosseum but it's very picky with the direction in which it takes information. It's fine with sending information (such as the Berry Fix) to the GBA but refuses to take information from the GBA (such as Pokemon team data). This renders it practically useless. Very disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have for Animal Crossing, and MORE!, 10 Oct 2002
By Salem J. (Little Rock, Arkansas United States) - See all my reviews
This cable is being used more and more as Gamecube develops more games. For example, Animal Crossing uses the cable in a really interesting way (ie. collecting and playing classic Nintendo games, transferring rare objects, etc...) If you haven't read up on it, I suggest doing so. It's a small price to pay for another way to use your GBA and Gamecube! Thank you Nintendo!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good
If you own a gba and a game cube then this is for you. (Especially if you have Pokemon). Note: This does sometimes fall out of the gba slot which can be annoying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesnt work with Pokemon
The only game I've used this with so far is Pokemon Colosseum/Pokemon Ruby and the game cut the connection and said 'link invalid', so a very dissapointing bit of kit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with animal crossing
Do not be fooled by the price, buy the official cable. I bought this thinking I would save a few pounds, only to find that it does not work with all the link compatible games... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars link cable
The only difference between this and all the other gamecube to gameboy advance link cables is the price. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh...
It's OK I suppose. It does the job and it's a bit cheaper.

2.0 out of 5 stars Probably NOT really worth it!
This is not an essential item to buy! You will only be able to use this with a VERY limited amount of games, and ONLY with the games that work with the GBA. Read more
