LOZ: A Link to the Past

The idea was briefly considered. It may happen one day. Eiji was interested in doing it.

(Also, play The Minish Cap)


Well... I don't Link actually grunts in response to anything during "conversations". I think there's maybe one instance of it in OoT. He's usually just plain silent when someone is talking to him.

According to Miyamoto you are supposed to be Link. Hence the name "Link". The "link" between the character and the player. In his mind it would be awkward for Link to say something that you yourself may not actually say.
Well I hope it comes to fruition, after all, Square-Enix has been remaking its early Final Fantasy titles and they've been selling well. I'd love similar treatment for the Zelda series, like remaking the original with an actual in-game story instead of just the backstory.
I have played & beaten Minish Cap, as well as every other game in the Zelda series (even the horrible CD-I games), I loved how it played very similar to LttP & LA, but I didn't like the story as much as other games in the series, although it was still good.
I'm sure that Link will remain silent for the rest of the Zelda series, or at least as long as Miyamoto is in charge of it.

I forgot to quote someone. Oops The Minish Cap thing was supposed to be in response to Gummy, but...forgot to quote him :x
 
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is actually the first Zelda game I played. I had heard of games like Majora's Mask and Orcarina of Time, but the thought of some guy in green swinging a sword around just sounded like a generic RPG. A friend sort of forced the game onto me, and although I don't remember much of it, I do remember this: I absolutely loved the game. I still have yet to play the Zelda games considered to be the best (MM, OoT, TP), but the ones I have played have have solidified my love for the LoZ series.

You will not waste you time playing any of these games. All three of them are amazing.

Back to the subject, I'll say that Link to the Past is definantly one of the more challenging games to the series. In my opinion the dungeons are more complicated and where are the hearts in them at all?! It has frustrated me a lot, and, well, I'll admit I have yet to even beat the game :\ I guess it just bored me after a while, the first Zelda game to ever do that to me.

I guess I'm starting to sound a little negetive about the game. In contrast to what I just said, I think this game is pretty important too. It introduces the dark and light world which shows up numerous times in future games (Four Sword Adventures, Twilight Princess). You can actually compare this game to Twilight Princess in the way that Link transforms in both when he is in the dark world (tp- wolf, LttP- Bunny lol) till later in both games.

Play the game if you like a challenge.
 
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favorite SNES game of all time. The game was a good length, the graphics were pretty, the music was outstanding, and the story was spectacular. It's my favorite 2-D Zelda game, and while I wouldn't compare it to the best Zelda titles of the entire franchise, I would say that it is perhaps the best 2-D Zelda title to date.
 
Yeah, AlttP really is challenging, I've died around 5 times already. :( But that's what makes it fun.
 
I actually thought it was pretty short.
And ganon was too easy :(
Still a great game. To me, better than minish cap or four swords.
 
I wouldn't know. I wanted the SNES version, but I ended up with a used LttP for GBA that had cheats out the wazzu. I think I'm at the beginning...just...with every item. So I don't have a clue where I'm supposed to go, what I'm supposd to do, or any of that. But LttP was the first Zelda game to actually give the backstory of Hyrule, so that's a light in the tunnel for me.
