The third installment in the legendary Zelda series released for the SNES was return of sorts to the roots of the original game. After tampering with the franchise wth Zelda II:Link's Adventure for the NES, Nintendo returned to the great adventurous gameplay that made the series famous. Link to the Past is a big game with lots to do and see. It's a great achievement in pretty much every way. You play as Link (or whatever you name him), and you must destroy Ganon who plans on taking over or destroying Hyrule. You start off with little to no skill and earn new ones as you progress through the game. You'll get many items such as the bow, hammer, and various magical weapons. Later in the game you'll travel to a different side of Hyrule. The dark side. It's almost identical in design but what sets it apart from the light world of Hyrule is the dark enemies and dungeons. The dungeons in Link to the Past are indeed brilliant. There are plenty of puzzles to put your mind against in these dungeons as well. Some simple, some difficult, and some that will plain out give you a headache. At the end of almost every dungeon is a boss. Most of them are gigantic beasts that are extremely challenging at times. It's easy to overlook the most important things in Zelda, so you have to be sure to keep your eyes wide open at all times. Throughout the land of Hyrule you'll discover new areas and meet new people. Some helpful, some not, and some just plain weird. Link to the Past has a lot of personality and a good story as well. The graphics in Link to the Past are near identical to its Super Nintendo counterpart. It looks a little better on the small GBA screen though. The music in Link to the Past is brilliant. Some new sound effects have been added into the game. Such as Link yelling when he attacks. Some may be annoyed by it, some may like, and some may not be affected. But everyone owes it to themselves to have this game in their GBA collection. Fans and newcomers alike.
