The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Review by MLYW
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a very amazing game and it is my favorite game in The Legend of Zelda series. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is the 3rd main game in the Zelda series and is a return to the classical Zelda formula from the first game after the 2nd took a different direction.
Story- 9/10
The game begins on a stormy night, Link gets message from Princess Zelda who says that she is locked in the dungeon of Hyrule Castle. Link’s uncle gets ready to go to Hyrule Castle and tells him to stay at home. Link disobeys him and goes to Hyrule Castle. Once he’s there, he sees his uncle severely wounded. Before he dies, he gives Link his sword and shield. Once Link leaves Zelda at the Sanctuary, he is told Aghnim, who wants to break the seal of the Dark World. Link then begins his journey to find the 3 Pendants of Virtue to obtain the Master Sword and defeat evil. There is much more to this story which you will discover later on the game.
Gameplay- 10/10
The game continues the same Gameplay as used in the original. You can move Link throughout all of Hyrule. However, you will meet enemies along the way, you can use Link’s sword to defeat most enemies. However, sometimes the sword will be useless but do not worry, sooner or later you'll discover that every enemy has a weakness. Link is also armed with a shield wihich can block some projectiles. Throughout the game, Link will navigate through Dungeons full of traps and puzzles that Link will have to overcome. In each dungeon, there will be an item which will be necessary to get to the boss. The boss is found at the end of dungeon. Each boss has a weakness and a common pattern which you will need to figure out to defeat it. Most bosses will require the item you found in that specific dungeon to defeat them. Later on, you'll gain the ability to warp between to worlds, the regular "Light" World and the corrupt "Dark" world. The Game also contains Side-quests that increases the Game’s replay Value.
Music- 9/10
The game contains many of the classical and staple songs of the Legend of Zelda series. The music almost always changes when you go to a different part of the world so you'll probably will never bore of hearing the same song over and over. Many songs appear from future games as well.
Replay value- 8/10
The game has a lot of replay value. This game contains many side-quests that will make you continue play the game for a long time. You can try to find all the heart pieces in the game to help increase your stamina. You can also complete some side-quests to obtain optional items to add to your disposal and aid you on your journey. However, you'll probably be able to collect almost everything in the first run.
Overall- 9/10
If you are a huge Zelda Fan or just a person who has great taste in games then you should definetely pick up this game then you'll see why it's one of my favorite games.
