The Legend of Zelda- A Link to the Past is the first Zelda series to hit the SNES systems. It's one of the great games to date for Zelda fans around the world. This title has a lot to offer in the main quest and side quest as well. So there's little chance of beating the game too quick. You'll be glued to your television for a while. I know I did.
The main goal is to rescue the kidnapped Princess Zelda, who was taken by the evil wizard that is attempting to merge the Light and Dark world. Link, the hero must quest to many places to gather the pendents the elder sent him out to do in order to attain the Legendary Sword of Evil's Bane. The Master Sword to fight off the wizard and recuse the princess, but only to find out there is a bigger threat among Hyrule. The evil Lord Gannon. Now, Link must travel rocky areas, swimming in lakes, fighting off evil and gathering the items that is needed to have a final showdown with the evil lord.
Graphics-8
It's one of the best looks in the Zelda series on the classic systems SNES. The 8-bit style of the game runs smoothly with many clear pictures and beautiful colors of the scenery. It's near perfection in my opinion. However, there is of course glitches here in there. Where you take damage without being touch.
Sound-7
With all Zelda. Is the familiar tunes that surrounds Hyrule. A memorable experience with the music. Growing up on this game will bring back nostalgic memories tunes of Zelda as you bash your way to victory. The music is nice and smooth, but it's nothing extraordinarily, so you're not missing any scores on the tunes.
Addictiveness-9
This game is very addicting due to the many challenges that awaits you in the next dungeon or any other places. You will be spending ours exploring the many caves and lakes to find items you need to further your quest and advance in the game, but there's also many side quest to gives you a break from the main quest to enjoy. Side quests that ranges from shooting galleries to a foot race in a obstacle course to attain the heart piece. You'll have hours of fun getting everything you need.
Story-6
The story is your typical routine of rescuing the kidnapped princess from the clutches of evil. Just like with all the Zelda games. The only thing different is it's on the SNES system. It offers more this go around. You must also rescue the kidnapped Maidens so that they can help seal Gannon away once again once you defeated the evil wizard and travel to the dark world of Hyrule.
Depth-9
There's a lot in this game that can be achieved to help you out in the main quest. A decent amount of side quests. With all the time spending gaining more heart pieces to increase your life hearts. It will help fending off evil and all the items you can gain over these side quests. Most of them are very useful. There are particular areas in the game where you can visit the Great Fairy. Toss in certain items/weapons and the fairy will upgrade to more powerful weapons or upgrade your items where you can hold a lot more arrows in your quiver.
Difficulty-9
I gave this a high rating due to the fact in some areas. The enemies are just hard to get by when you need to get into the next room. Such as the knights with the ball and chain. They can be quite troublesome specially if you are low on hearts with no fairies. There is on to note that two of the bosses in the game is extremely annoying. I don't remember their names, but one is the snake like monster that you have to attack it's tail to defeat it, but it's hard when the boss is moving randomly around the area and constantly knocking you off the platform forcing you to start the battle all over. Finally the second boss I mentioned is inside the forest temple. This boss is a moth like creature and you must fight him inside a moving room filled with spikes that darts across the moving room. It gives you very little reaction time to strike your enemy due to this aggravation, but once you defeat them. The rest is pretty much smooth sailing.
