The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ROM Description

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is an action-adventure game developed by Nintendo. The game acts as a prequel to the first two Zelda games and sees Link save Princess Zelda, explore the lands, and defeat a mysterious enemy.

Gameplay

So what is the game like to play? In this top-down adventure, Link can use a sword, shield, and bow as you continue on your quest. You’ll find boomerangs, bombs, coins, pickups, lanterns, keys, and a handy compass to navigate dungeons.

As well as dungeons, you’ll be exploring a small open world of villages, forests, and hidden secrets. The game requires specific skills to access areas. You’ll retrace your footsteps to find all valuable items as these skills are obtained.

Hearts manage health and can be replenished by the incredibly addictive and mostly unnecessary grass-cutting. Coins can be spent to improve your available arsenal further. Progression within the game has a nice balance – the dungeons are tricky to navigate, with traps, puzzles, and varied enemies pushing you to the limit. The boss fights are decent without ever being too harsh. And on the whole, it’s a sublime game that still stands out today.

There are sound progression systems, an exciting game world, and lots of fun characters – very quirky, cool, classic Nintendo from back in the day.

Visuals and Audio

Graphically, it has a charming and colorful presentation with cute characters, a well-structured game world, and exciting locations to explore.

The sound – wow, that brought me back, you know, brought back all those memories from me when I was younger. From the save game screen soundtrack to the combat sound effects – you know it’s all well-suited and fits the game perfectly.

Good and Bad Points

The good points: the game world is an enchanting place to explore; progression is well handled with new items unlocking access to new areas; the dungeons are a fun challenge, as are the boss fights; sound and visuals work in unison; and on the whole is an extreme adventure from start to finish.

Bad points: the game is relatively short compared to modern games; it does take a little bit of time to get going, and the controls perhaps aren’t as fluid as I remembered.

Verdict

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a beautiful adventure role-playing game with a well-thought-out progression system, an exciting game world, and abundant charm. After all these years, it was an absolute delight to revisit it, and it stands up in the kind of modern game world without seeming wholly dated.

A Link to the Past – an instant classic. If you’ve never played it, I recommend it.
