The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Somehow The Legend of Zelda series always seems to come out on top whenever a new Nintendo sytem comes out. This is no exception. I don't think this is better than the two that came before it, but I still put it above the Windwaker, Majora's Mask, and Oracles. The storyline itself is the best thing about it, and one of the best in the series. Makes you want to play it more.

There's something about the land of Hyrule that just sucks you in, especially with the third game of the Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Super Nintendo. The gameplay is basically similar to the first game for NES but of course the graphics are greatly updated. You play as Link, of course, our sword swinging, green tunic wearing hero from the two previous adventures.

The entire game is great but I love the beginning. Link is sleeping soundly in his uncle's house during a rainstorm. He begins to hear a voice calling him to the castle. The foreboding atmosphere sets it up perfectly. If you haven't played it yet, that's all I'll tell because I consider it to be one of the best openings to an RPG game. You have no idea what's going on, and it gets you right into the game early on.

Of course, Link to the Past isn't just a hack 'n slash level up RPG. There are numerous puzzles to solve which help you advance a great deal. There are plenty of areas to explore, treasure to find and dungeons to escape. The game also has more of a variety of items to help you along the way from the ever famous sprint shoes to the new hookshot. There's so much to do and many secrets to find along the way, so you'll be busy for hours.

The music is also timeless, as it is with every Zelda game. This score is filled with new background music as well as a couple of classic themes from the original. What I love about these games is the fact that Hyrule is such a fantastic world much like other fantasy games, however it has plenty of characters, monsters and landscapes that truly make it unique and beautiful.

This, without a doubt, is truly the GREATEST GAME EVER CREATED BY NINTENDO. I loved this game. It was the longest Zelda game created (Until OoT). The story was great. (For it's time) The graphics were great. The music added. A lot of the bosses were just as hard as the bosses from OoT. OoT borrowed a lot of the elements from Link to the Past. Like after the first 3 stones, you enter the dark world (Dark Future for Ocarina). And of course, Kakariko Village. And after the seven crystals/medallions, the power of the women/sages from the crystals/medallions, helped you get into Ganon's Tower. That brings me to another great thing. Ganon was much more of a challenge in Link to the Past than in Ocarina. Ocarina's Ganon was easier than Ganandorf. (Don't get me wrong, I love Ocarina). Link to the Past had Ganon go invisible, and being able to transport to different locations. The ending is also one of the greatest video game endings ever.

Overall, I give this game 10/10

This is the best video game ever made for any system in any genre. Its also better than any movie ever made! YAY! No game ever will be better than this. Its super good. Super duper. Monkey.

This game is the greatest game. From the start of the game where you go out in the rain and have to find a secret passage to get into the castle. Till the end where you face Gannan in the dark world. The game has depth and replay value so high you will be playing this game over and over again. It's so fun and not to hard but it kicks @ss. The music rules the story kicks it's just an unbelievable game. If you have the chance get this game!!!
