Chrono Trigger may have been the first plastic cartridge to offer us refuge from the elements and our world for a much more colorful one, but it was far from the last.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was another wonderful game that we spent a lot of time playing. Some would argue too much time. I, however, wager that it was another one of the best RPG's known to the world, if not one of the best games known to the world.

In the end, I think me, my brother, and our friend ended up playing through this game three or four times in one summer, just because of how awesome it was.
Various dungeons kept us busy with puzzles and badass bosses that were tough to beat, the game kept us enthralled with it's storyline. I particularly enjoyed the bit with the dude in the woods with the animals around him.
Also, we must not forget about the chickens!
SO MANY CHICKENS, RUN LINK RUN |
Ahhh such an old school game.
ReplyDeleteI myself poured hours into it too!
Think I might download it and give it a replay.

i loved most of zelda games, i sometimes feel like playing some of them again haha, and damn those chickens, in fact now that we are talking about this it was the 25th anniversary of zelda a few weeks ago
ReplyDeleteLove this game to death
ReplyDeleteah i wish you put more screenshots, I miss Link :(
ReplyDeleteLoZ really isn't like most RPGs. It is one, but something about how it plays is just different and awesome. You don't go into some turn-based fight realm with every encounter, you don't have huge skill trees to master. It's just you and your ability to solve puzzles with the tools you acquire on your journey.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first (and only) game that I rented again AFTER beating it. I still love it to this day.
