 ... gamers because it links in so perfectly with the atmosphere of the game, drawing you in and suspending disbelief. The sound effects in the game also resonated with charm, while they are not all very realistic they are of their time. As far as sound effects went they were some of the greatest on the SNES. The bows hitting foes armour, the squeal of a rat in a dungeon and the explosion of a bomb were all good and satisfying. The muffled cries of enemies in conjunction with the music really added to the atmosphere creati...more

A Link to the past was not only my introduction to the Zelda series of games but it was also an amazing game, easily one of the best SNES games of the decade and some people say the best Zelda title of all time. While you may not agree with the last statement there is no denying that A Link to the Past was a great title of its day. A link to the past pays homage to the original Zelda whilst blending elements from the Adventure of Link. The whole game is designed in a forced top down perspective. After the start of the game is over you are free to explore Hyrule, unlocking new items as you go, which allow you to access different areas of the vast world map. ...  Read the complete review

Considering that the Zelda franchise spans 15 (soon to be 16) games over 6 different consoles (we're not including the awful CD-I versions), it might come as a surprise that only one game appeared on the Super Nintendo. You could get the impression that this is because Nintendo, having spent alot of time and effort making the game and subsequently seeing the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the game, knew that they'd never better it on the SNES and opted to wait for new technology to push the series further. The Legend of Zelda III: A Link to the Past was one of the benchmark titles on the SNES and to fans of the Zelda series, the concept of ...  Read the complete review

I might get a few disagreements over my title, I'm sure there are at least a few people who feel that earlier games were better or later ones were better however for me this is the best Zelda game I have played. I have to say that I really do enjoy the style of game this is, it's not really RPG but contains a lot of RPG elements that make it much more than just an action game. I've played just about all the Zelda games at some time and this has been the most enjoyable to me. Earlier games were fun but at times seemed a bit too basic, later games I didn't like because of the 3D view (something I just don't think fits this game, ...  Read the complete review

You may be familiar with the N64 Zelda game, as there was a HUGE amount of hype surrounding it. This works in a very similar way (but in overhead 2D, obviously) to said game, and I prefer Zelda III to Zelda 64. Why? That's what this here review is here to tell you. Zelda 64's strength, I think, is that it has intelligent puzzles, and this prequel is no different. A lot of the game's puzzles are very well thought out and constructed. The way the game adds variety to the puzzles is to add new gadgets to your inventory, and each must be used in a variety of ways to progress. The bow and arrow is not only a weapon, for example, it can be used to hit ...  Read the complete review
