Fun little multiplayer game based around TLOZ
I didn’t truly experience Link to the Past for the first time until this version of the game more than 20 years ago—long after I’d mastered Link’s Awakening, Ocarina of Time, and many others I like far better. I actually got as far as Turtle Rock in my first-ever playthrough before….putting it down? Can’t remember why for the life of me. Sold the cartridge not long after that, because poor.
Now in my thirties and with disposable income and more Zelda-liking friends, I finally re-bought a physical cartridge and truly 100%ed both LttP & Four Swords. I’m not convinced the bonus dungeon was worth the hype—I’d maybe give it a 7.5/10? But Four Swords is excellent with a pal, and the Hurricane Spin kinda rules.
A Link to the Past is, like, right in the middle of my top Zeldas. I don’t hate it, but I like every other 2D Zelda after the NES better. I’m glad I finally crossed this game off the ole bucket list.

Link to the past smacks minus the temples that have ice or push you into holes, also couldn't do four swords since I had no friends with it plus im dumb
Portable Link to the Past owns. Played it a ton on the GBA as a kid/teen. The added Wind Waker voice clips for when Link swings his sword are pretty unnecessary though and bring it down from being perfect. I've never been able to play the Four Swords multiplayer campaign because none of my friends had a GBA or even played Nintendo games.
The best 2D Zelda game.
The somewhat superior version of the game. Just set the lighting to dark and play on a portable device. The translation lining up with other Zelda titles is nice too
