Hey guys, it's strikerofthewind here, with another game review. This time it is on the game Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. As the very first game I ever played in the Legend of Zelda series, I knew I'd have to review this game eventually.
The graphics of this game are OUTSTANDING!!!! Since it's a Zelda game, it's obvious the graphics are going to be decent at the very least. It's amazing how smooth the graphics flow together.
....Do I really need to review the sound? The Legend of Zelda music is legendary. To quote Screwattack, whether you're a Nintendo, Capcom, Sega, Microsoft, Square, or 360 freak, the main theme from Legend of Zelda binds us gamers together.
As any fan of Nintendo will tell you, the games they make are usually highly addicting. As any Legend of Zelda fan will tell you, every game they made for that branch is addicting. From the original 8-bit game on the NES to the newest release, Skyward Sword, the Legend of Zelda is one of the most addicting game branches out there.
In the terms of the story, it's the same as every other Zelda game. Link gets pulled into an epic quest to save Princess Zelda, and save Hyrule. Of course, every game adds its own twists to make each game more unique than the last. A Link to the Past is no exception for this case. With the items and equipment that aren't anywhere else in the series, this game's story still rates a 9 from me.
Depth was difficult for me to decide on... The world is enormous! With a different set of enemies for each area, and a different strategy required to defeat each of them as well as the giant bosses throughout the typical temples that are to be found in the series. That would pull a 9.4 from me, but we'll round that down and give it a 9.
Difficulty is at a seven. It may not seem that hard, and it's not once you get the hang of the controls. It's just that enemies can easily swarm you for 360 degrees, and the bosses are quite difficult when you first face them. Some were almost as annoying as Navi. And that is not easy to do. For that I give it a seven. And I like that. A challenge is good once in a while.
Adding up the ratings for each of the said categories (Graphics: 10 Sound: 10 Addictiveness: 10 Story: 9 Depth: 9 Difficulty: 7) I would give the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past game a 9.8 rating overall. Now it's time for YOU to step into Link's shoes and help save Hyrule from evil with a wide variety of equipment. Good luck. May the Triforce be with you.
