Description This game features two games in one - the complete Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) game plus an all-new first-ever multiplayer Zelda game! In the one-player mode, A Link to the Past, Link receives a telepathic message from Zelda, imploring him to help. He must find the Master Sword, then travel to the Dark World to defeat Ganon and restore peace to the land of Hyrule. In the multiplayer game, Four Swords, between two to four players take on the roles of young adventurers who answer a challenge from the Triforce. They must brave the dangers of multiple dungeons in a quest to find the Master Sword. Their strength will be tested by fierce monsters, their wisdom tested by complex puzzles, and their courage tested by having to cooperate with each other to overcome obstacles.
Summary: Zelda:a link to the past is a good game for anyone that likes Zelda.
the only problem, like any other zelda is link makes a strange noise every time he swings his sword, which isnt a problem for me but, if you just cant stand anything annoying well, just turn the sound off.
but over all it was one of my favorite games i have played

Summary: Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past on the GBA is basically a direct port. It plays like the original SNES version. There are a few additions, such as being able to use a shield, and one that completely ruined the game for me which was the addition of Links constant "Hyai!"'s into the game. More on that in the Sound section.
Since it is more or less a direct port of the original it is a great game. However if you own the original on the SNES there is really no reason to buy this game. Especially if you despise the way Link sounds like I do.
Zelda is one of the great adventure/action games. It is also a fairly large game, which should keep players entertained. Everything is good stuff, minus their addition of Links voice (this is a personal preference if you want to know whether it will big you look at the sound section).
Summary: Having never played the Super NES version of this game I didn't know what to expect. The game play moves smoothly and isn't that hard to follow, although I do find myself retracing old steps when I get a new weapon or tool, and you find yourself knowing exactly where to go and what to do. The dungeons require some thinking, and I find them challenging, you do get stuck not knowing what to do next. But persistence does pay off.
Summary: Zelda is one of the oldest running series in the video game business. I have been a fan of zelda for many years though I never owned a Link to the Past. When Link's Awakening came out, I was very disappointed at the story line. I felt the same way with the Oracle series. Then, I heard about Link's Awakening. I saw screenshots and fell in love. I play a game called Graal Online (www.graal2001.com) The classic servers look exactly like this game and that was why I wanted it. I just got the game on the 11th of April and I love it.
Summary: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is, as most Nintendo fans know, an old game from the company's early Super Nintendo days. Many Nintendo fans have recently been annoyed at the Big N's policy of releasing only remakes of its old character's games for this system, but for those who missed them the first time around, as I did, this is a blessing.
This game is a direct port of the Super Nintendo version. That's not, howevever, saying that it's a *good* port. A good port, to me, is one in which all the gameplay elements are kept the same, but in which graphics and sound are improved the match the higher system. Unfortunately, for this game, Nintendo simply took the program for the SNES version and plunked it onto a Game Boy Advance cartridge. I suppose they wanted to leave time for them to develop "Four Swords", the multiplayer game, which I haven't played, it being hard enough to find a fellow 15-year-old who'll admit to owning a system other than a Playstation 2 or X Box without asking them to have a GBA, this game, and a link cable. That's not to say "A Link to the Past" is a bad game, because it's not. However, I think that *both* games would have profited if they were developed and released as individual games.
