Nintendo Legend of Zelda: A link to the past appreciation thread

[HHJ]

One of the GOAT games of all time with one of the GOAT endings. I still get chills at the final shot.


AND THE MASTER SWORD SLEEPS AGAIN FOREVER

I remember trading or buying the game from my cousin in 1994 and it came with a huge ass instruction manual.

BIBLICAL

If ya ever needed a time killer, strap on a Backbone to your phone and play the fuck out of this monolithic Action RPG or be a fuckin POSER GAMER instead !

 

[HHJ]

I feel like Castlevania SOTN, and this, are like mandatory games that have to be with me at all times on a portable, like a phone or a rog ally/switch

if your not doin that, then i dont know what your doin but you aint doin it right

It is a fairly decent game all things considered.

Oddly enough, I never did have LTTP on SNES growing up. We tended to get platformers on SNES. We had the original LoZ on NES, though.

I did play through Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on N64 before going back and playing LTTP. I was actually amazed by how many of the things I marveled at in Ocarina of Time were more just redone versions of things from LTTP.

It reminds me of how the Metal Gear games are largely reusing very similar ideas (MGS is basically a remake of MG2).

Yeah

More is possible with the advent of technology so why not expand upon what already worked?

Definitely it was a good thing for them to do. It was just weird to find out that a lot of say, the twists in MGS, were just beat by beat repeats of MG2. It certainly helped that few people would have had an MSX to play MG2 on but lots had a PS.

HOOKSHOT

My step brother had a save were he had got the red boomerang.

20 years later, I still haven't found the red boomerang.

The frustration and envy continues to this day.

The map in this game is so great. Just a perfect little universe doubled in the light and the dark world.

Loved the game. Along with Chrono Trigger, it was the favorite game of my childhood.

Played it start to finish multiple times in the 90's. When I got a WII around 2006 or 2007, I downloaded it on the virtual console and played it again. Haven't played it since then, but I have pretty much all of the map memorized in my head. Still remember all the various sound effects too.

I still have no idea how to properly pronounce Sahasrahla though. That remains a mystery.

I loved ALTTP, but got a genesis after the original NES, so didn't play it until much later. As much as I lived it, the original ToZ is my all time fav since it was one of the few games I had a beat it over and over again.

Opposite for me. I NEVER had a NES, despite wanting one so bad. I played Zelda at my cousins but mostly the second one

I got a Gameboy and then a SNES, where i had my own copy of ALTTTP to gloriously play at my leisure.

The zelda series was my first game series I dedicated myself to and its baffled me its died down.

I tried replaying Ocarina before Link to the Past and I got burned out. Ocarina, fun as hell the first playthrough, felt like work the 2nd time.

Link to the past had that simplicity enough to pick up n play, even after a break, but expansive enough to happily revisit shit youd forgotten.

Confuses me. I can play long ass new games like red dead Redemption 2, but older zelda games I cant.
