The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Good
I remember the days... when I was a kid, my brother had strategy, he always knew where to go in the dungeons and what to do to win, but he sucked at fighting, so I fought, he told me what to do. Ah, Zelda. What a great game. Talk about Challenging. My neighbor beat the entire game when his kid got it and he doesn't even play video games! I have beaten this game like twenty times! What better game? Great music, sound effects, all the weapons and heart pieces to collect, upgrading your sword, shield, armor... going through all the dungeons, fighting all the cool bad guys and the bosses... traveling between the Dark World and the light world... all the things to do, mini games, talking to everyone, and when you discovered something new, it was like Heaven. I remember I used to come home from school and start playing and wouldn't want to stop and do my homework, and then my mom made a new rule: No videogames till your homework is done. Ah, well. And the forest when your in the Dark Side, so challenging, like a maze, and the end... the music at the end... oh man. What a great game. A true masterpiece. And the story... oh man, your never gonna get such a good story in a video game... it almost makes you wanna cry at the end. What a great game.

The Bad
Nothing to add here.

The Bottom Line
If you don't got it, get it. If you got it, play it.

The Good
Everything. The intriguing and exciting storyline, the great puzzles, the whole vastness of the game, with the Light and Dark World, the way it was realised on the SNES, making it look great in 16-bit. Not forgetting the great background music,which really adds to the whole atmosphere of the game. Its my favourite game of all time, it just seems to have everything right which combines to make it simply unmissable

The Bad
Nothing really. Occasionally you could get a bit lost in some of the Dungeons when things got slighty obscure, but thats about it. Its hard for me to find fault in what I consider my favourite video game of all time

The Bottom Line
The best videogame ever made, has all the right ingredients of a truly classic masterpiece, you'd be mad to miss it

The Good
Talk about a game that requires you to lock yourself in your room and cut off all forms of socialization. Thats what I did when I first bought this game. It was an instant hook. It was the only title besides FinalFantasy2 that I was longing for that badly and it was the first Zelda for the 16bit era! I knew from the first 5 seconds of this game that it was going to rule, and it did.

The graphics and sound undoubtedly improved 1000% from the NES to the SNES so we finally get to see Link in his nice new 16 bit outfit. It was a welcomed change. This game had a really sweet, highly detailed and enormous overworld to wander around in and get lost. The combat was so much better than the previous overhead view, it felt like you had total control over link now.

There was a sufficient amount of weapons and items to find and kill with. The overall atmosphere of this game definitely sucks you in to the world of Hyrule and whoever worked on this game should recieve some award for making a flawless adventure game full of life, challenge and entertainment.

The Bad
Nothing. Flawless. Absolutely flawless.

The Bottom Line
This game will forever be near the center of the adventure game hall of fame of the 16bit era. Definitely worth playing, you won't be sorry.
