A Link to the Past is undeniably the best 2D Zelda game with little to no competition. This game provided a scope larger than any other game seen at the time, and was regarded to be one of the most ambitious games ever made. With loads of iconic and challenging dungeons, numerous weapons and magic items, carefully placed collectibles and side quests, its hard to believe a game with such an incredible design philosophy was one that came out of the era of the Super Nintendo. Truly one of Nintendo's best works.
