Review - The Legend of Zelda : a link to the past


Quite possibly the best game for SNES! All of the nintendo Zelda fans were first in line when this game was released. My brother bought this game for $50.00 at our local Kay-Bee Toys store. And let me tell you, it was worth it!

Graphics: (9/10) Very nice. All the art in this game was created with a very nice style. The towns, castles, forests, caves, dungeons, and mountains are all brought to life in 16 bit heaven. It's just a great looking game.

Sound: (9/10) Zelda has great sound! The music is magical and ambience is present. At the start of the game you can hear it raining outside. When you venture out the sound increases. You can hear yourself slosh through knee high water. And your sword clinks against enemies in battle. The sound even reacts to dialogue and situation. Every sound effect has a certain spark to it that makes it uniquely Zelda.

Fun: (10/10) Even today not many games are as fun as Zelda 3. The gameplay is open ended giving the you time to explore your world and complete objective as you want to. The storyline is cool and you really feel like you become part of it. Your player progresses in strength throughout the game as he discovers, steals, and buys new items that give him new powers (swimming, extra strength, warping). Everything about Zelda 3 is fun!

Creativity: (8/10) A lot of thought was put into every aspect of Zelda 3. If you beat a chicken with your sword then a swarm of chickens attack you. You can visit a fourtune teller, discover a ghost, talk to townspeople, and solve puzzles. Zelda 3 is swarming with puzzles, but they are never too difficult.

Multi-Player: Sorry, no multi-player in Zelda 3. Wouldn't that be fun?

Tips and Cheats: Game Winner's cheat codes

Errors: Using Snes9x (ver.1.38), the only problems I had were some jumpy frame rates and sometimes link would dissapear for a second when fighting. Nothing serious.
