Not sure what to say about this game that hasn't been said by basically every other Zelda fan. It's an absolutely fantastic game and a wonderful breath of fresh air after playing the mediocre NES Zelda games. Took me way too long to play Link to the Past but I'm glad I finally did.
The gameplay holds up against any of the modern 2D Zeldas in almost every way.. The combat is great, the exploration is fun, the dungeons are solid. I loved every minute with this game. My only minor complaint is that the combat can be a bit finicky with respect to enemy hitboxes and how an enemy can just sit on top of you, damaging you multiple times. But those are just minor gripes in an otherwise stellar game.
