DESCRIPTION
The third game in the legendary Zelda series (after The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for the NES), The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time for any console. The storyline, which involves rescuing Princess Zelda and seven other maidens (each locked in a away in a different dungeon), is engrossing, the Light and Dark Worlds (which you can teleport between using a Magic Mirror) are filled with secrets, traps and puzzles, the battle system is tight, and the interfacing and mapping system is convenient and easy to use. Link begins the game empty handed but will soon find a sword and shield and will eventually discover numerous other items, including many new to the series, such as the Pegasus Boots, the aforementioned mirror, and a grappling hook. Longtime Nintendo composer Koji Kondo (Super Mario World) provides the musical score (meaning that it's excellent, of course), and the graphics and sounds show excellent attention to detail. All in all, this is a must-own title and a wonderful return to (and upgrading of) the many things that made the original The Legend of Zelda such a brilliant success. After the somewhat disappointing (but still solid) Zelda II, this is a good (make that great) thing. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

“I'll keep this one short:
I loved Link's Awakening for a long time, started A Link to the Past twice in the, uh, past, and finally made it through. Despite the world switching, which lends some depth to this title, I prefer the Game Boy installment. It featured a shipwrecked hero stranding on an island that turned out to be - sixteen year-old spoiler ahead - the dream of giant fish. This one has an evil sorcerer and a kidnapped princess and little else. Also Koholint has beaches and seashells and stuff.”
