A link to the past, third game in the Zelda series, and much like their other franchises third games, they fucking knocked out of the park
A link to the past truly builds on everything that made the original great, the world is a lot more developed and nuanced than the original, filled with much more life and characters
It’s not just the world, the story has been improved immensely, immediately starting off with a darker beginning that immediately gets you invested, something the original never really had.
Gameplay and general exploring have been greatly polished and dungeons are far more complex than the original game, I love especially how the game builds on the challenge of the dungeons as the game goes on, making more use of skills and items you have, speaking of that.
This is also the game that established many iconic Zelda things, like the hookshot, the pieces of heart, various items being used in dungeons, big keys, the sacred realm, many MANY enemies, and of course, the master sword, probably the most iconic sword in gaming history.
The bosses in this game I have a little less praise to give, while most of them are good, they do suffer from being pretty simple, like the ice palace boss in which you just melt the ice its in and then just smack it till the three cloud things die, or the boss in misery mire where you can quite literally just stand still and smash B, or the moth boss which is just………fuck that boss, but aside from those examples everything else is great, we especially have to thank this game for giving us the first proper Ganon fight, original one wasn’t anything special but this one knocks it out of the park and is a phenomenal way to end the game, and it’s the first of many phenomenal Ganon fights to come.
One last thing, I love many SNES game graphics and this game is no exception, it’s a beautiful looking game, manages to look comparable to modern Zelda while keeping the classic look as well (something many SNES games do)
The most incredible thing about this game is how it’s still able to stand out despite many titles in the future coming and improving a lot of things, it’s a phenomenal classic adventure and the greatest starting point for anyone who hasn’t played this franchise, and for anyone who has played the rest and hasn’t played this, tf you doing? PLAY THE GAME
And the next Zelda game is Link’s Awakening, I’m gonna be playing the 2019 remake, why? Idk, I like the music and graphical style more I guess……………it’s weird how they haven’t remade the original 2 Zelda games
