Zeruda no densetsu: Kamigami no toraifôsu

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.

Out of the countless masterpieces to come down the line in the early library of video games, easily up there in the top 20 if not the top 10 games of all time, mention one of the greatest and addicting titles of all time! It is one of those rare games you can play over and over again and still enjoy!

If I could, I'd vote higher than a 10 for this game, it just simply deserves it!

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System(Or SNES) was a very lucky video game console, because The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was one of its games. A Link to the past is a game that could be compared by other SNES classics like Actraiser, Super Metroid, Sim City 2000, Super Star Wars and others. This game was renovated in 2003, with The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past/Four Swords(Game Boy Advance). The best part of the game was the fun.This game is pure FUN! If you are a game maniac, you have to play at least one time in your whole life this game. My score is 10/10.If I could, I would score 11/10.

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

Spectacular storyline, dangerous dungeons, difficult bosses, and an awesome array of weaponry/equipment. This game is the best in the series. With a huge expanse of land for you to explore, there are mysteries to be solved, items to be found, and maidens to be saved. Play this game. You'll enjoy it.
