Played and beat A Link to the Past for the first time!

3 years ago by TORFdot0 to c/retrogaming

As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best games of all-time.

I just beat this for the first time as well. Please keep us up to date on your Zelda saga. I look forwards to see your reaction to OoT.

I’ve played through all the 2D Zelda games. Then the DS games and GameCube versions. Somehow I’m not a fan of the N64 Zeldas.

So interesting! I can see the merits of 2D Zeldas, but to me the N64 Zeldas were what really elevated the series (LttP is a great game, sure, but I'm in love with OoT and Majora's Mask).

I think they are really different experiences despite the shared DNA and so will appeal to different people differently.

I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I tried playing OOT for the first time somewhere in my 20s. I hated the camera and controls and gave up on it pretty quickly. I never played any GameCube games, so I'm not sure there.
