Well it was inevitable. You find a top video games ever made list, and you find Zelda. Thats a fact of life pretty much. Well, there are three Zelda’s in my top 40 list, the question is, which ones are they, and which one’s top?
Well not this one! Ha ha ha! Theres not too much I can say about the Legend of Zelda seires honestly, as I’m not as big a fan of them as other people and other games. There is one particular game I hold dearly to me though. This isn’t it, however it was probably the most magical game I had played on the Super Nintendo. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past, had an atmosphere about it. I cant describe it, from the rain right at the start, with the atmospheric music throughout, you got a good sense for the world. It didnt really feel like an alive world, not too many games did back then, but it certainly had character, throughout.
The dark world concept later resurfaced in the series
I’ve never gotten too far in this game, although I’ve always intended to. Initially when I had the game back in the day, I had worked my way through it and defeated Ganon in Hyrule castle. However as soon as you feel like you’ve beaten the game, it throws a crazy twist that turns the whole game on its head. A dark world emurges, introducing the concept of travelling through dimensions. The game double itself right there and then quite intense.
The battles were great, and you got a brilliant sense of adventure in this huge world though. Although this felt like the best 2D Zelda game I had played, there was another which was more of a personal favorite of mine which is higher in the list. This game earns its place in my list though for its true atmosphere, a vibe you felt when you played your games on the Super Nintendo itself, an experience you’d never find on any other console.
