Zelda a Link to The Past Snes Review
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past Review
A brand new Zelda adventure released in 1992. After the dissapointment of Zelda II Shigeru Myamoto (game creator)decided to use the same style that the original Legend of Zelda had, an over the top view action adventure game. The game had a lot of hype and when it came out it certainly lived up to it.

Zelda ScreenshotStory

Lets start with the story of the game. Quite frankly, it's great. One of the bestfantasy stories out there and maybe the best story of all Zelda games. Link is living with his Uncle in a small house near Hyrule Castle. On a dark stormy night he gets a strange dream from girl telling him to come to Hyrule Castle and rescue her.

His uncle suddenly leaves the house telling Link that he has some business to take care of. You head to Hyrule Castle and you find your uncle lying dead in an underground passage. He tells you that you must rescue the Princess Zelda and that it is his destiny.He gives Link his sword and shield and you head to the castle.

After you enter and head to the basement you find the princess in a jail cell. You rescue her and she tells you about a secret passage that leads you to a sanctuary. You take it and when you get to the sanctuary Zelda tells Link she wants to stay in the sanctuary to be safe because the Hylian guards are after her. The priest of the sanctuary agrees to watching over her and Zelda tells Link to find an ancient elder named Sarashala. Linl leaves the sanctuary and embarks on his very long epic quest.

Graphics

Amazing graphics, clear and detailed. The areas of Hyrule are colorful and beautiful. Each area looks different from one another. This brings me to the size of the game. It is HUGE. Two massive worlds awaiting to be explored in the game, you gotta love it. The game has warps once you get to a certain part of the game so you don't have to run across the whole land.

Gameplay

The gameplay is flawless. The fighting engine is perfect. Some enemiesare easy to kill while others are harder and require a lot more dodging and manuvering. The game has tons of items and weapons you collect and add to your inventory.

The bosses are a little bit too easy but they are very cool looking. Each item has its own unique ability and they have to be used wisely throughout the game. The best part of the game in my opinion is the dungeons (or temples). The game has 12 dungeons you have to complete and some really offer up a challenge. The dungeon design is quite genious and each dungeon is original and have some sort of theme.
I'll give you a little overview of each dunegon:

Hyrule Castle

Very easy but the castle looks great. It's fun and good for getitng you used to the style of the game. The ball and chain trooper is kind of like a boss but it is more like a tough enemy. In this dungeon you basically hack and slash at Hylian guards the whole time and then you take a dark underground passage filled with rats and snakes that leads you to the sanctuary.


Eastern Temple

Raises the challenge bar from the last dungeon and there is a possibility you might get stuck here but overall the dungeon's puzzles are easy to figure out and it doesn't take long either. The boss is an army of large Armos Knights which can be annoying and kind of hard since you'll probaly only have 4 hearts.


Sandstorm Temple

Pretty much the same as the last dungeon except this one is a little tougher. The puzzles arn't tough its the enemies in the dunegeon and there are a lot of them too. If you don't have any problems fighting off and dodging a lot of annoying enemies then this dungeon will be simple for you. The boss which is a group of underground worms can be kind of irritating but its still an easy boss.

Tower Of Hera

This dungeon which lies on top of the Death Mountain Range is very simple. It looks hard at first but once you get the hang of what your supposed to do it's probaly just as easy as Hyrule Castle. It's a very fun dungeon and you get a key item here too. The boss which is giant caterpillar is on a platform that is surrounded by a drop down to the floor below it. You have to strike the caterpillars tail and each time you strike it he gets faster and faster. If you get used to the way the boss moves and take your time you'll find it to be very simple but if you rush at killing the caterpillar you'll find yourself falling to the next floor quite often.

Hyrule Castle (again)

After the priest from the sanctuary gets killed and Zelda gets captured by the evil wizard Agahnim you return to the castle once again but you go to the basement instead of the top floor. When you come here for the second time your equipped with the legendary master sword so you kill the enemies here quite easily. It's similar to the first time you go to Hyrule Castle where you hack and slash except with tougher enemies. The boss is Agahnim who is easy. Block his lighting balls with your sword and they'll bounce back and hit him. After you defeat the wizard you head to the Golden Land, the Scared Realm where the triforce lays. Except the land has changed. It has been turned into an evil land of darkness and now it is called the Dark World.


Palace of Darkness

The first dungeon in the dark world really heightens the challenge by a lot. The dungeon design is very good but very puzzling and confusing. You'll find yourself playing this dungeon for awhile until you finally beat it. You have to bomb cracks in areas in the ground and fall to different levels, you have to use switches to open up several gateways and the switches can only open up a gateway at a time. The boss is still pretty easy though and he looks awesome.
