I've played Link to the Past so much, I'm literally a walking encyclopedia of that game. It's definitely one of my favorites to play and to go back to. Over 30 years old, and this game has not aged at all. It still looks amazing.

James articulates a lot of how I feel concerning how I am with my favorite game; that being Link's Awakening. That game was bundled with the Game Boy shortly after it came out and I got it for Christmas. The way James described A Link to the Past is exactly how Link's Awakening sort of came to choose me to favor it the most.

This is by far my favorite Cinemassacre's video of all time! I am a huge Zelda fan and A Link to the Past is my favorite game of all time.

10:35 james, you hit the nail on the head.. Mass Effect came out right after my mom passed away, and I remember sitting on the floor in the large living room late at night that winter, just playing Mass Effect, getting lost in the story and world, forgetting everything else for but a moment's ease of mind. Now, whenever i see scenes of that game, hear Fem-Shep's voice, or hear the galaxy map theme, it has an automatic memory association to so many things in that period of time in my life as well, so it just became an immediate classic favorite game that won't ever change. Sure it was a great game on its own, but i didnt "choose" it as my favorite game, it chose me, at the precice right time when i needed such an experience.

It's my favourite as well. I remember getting a snes and this game for Christmas and I played it all day

Mike was talking about people who weren't into Zelda. I definitely was, back then, up through Ocarina of Time or so. When I got a Gamecube, I tried to play Wind Waker and it lost me, oddly because I'm the kind of gamer Mike claims to be: I like to spend a lot of time, explore thoroughly, etc. Wind Waker disillusioned me because I was constantly discovering challenges and side quests, at the end of which I would be rewarded with Rupees. This wasn't just now and then, either, I was constantly doing things hoping to find a tangible reward and I kept being handed money that I literally could not carry because the limited wallet was full. Why was my wallet constantly full? Because there's no reason to spend money in the game. There is pretty much nothing of true value that you can straight up buy that the plot hasn't already forced you to buy. I haven't played a newer Zelda game since, so I don't know how much that still holds true, but Wind Waker, critically acclaimed though it may be, broke me of the series. Link to the Past is the only one I still play now and then, actually. It's just so good. Enough story to keep you involved, real rewards for finding secrets and completing side quests, smooth control. It has it all, in much the same way Super Metroid had it all.

Holy shit, has it already been 25 years? Crazy...Link to the Past is one of the game i play at least once a year and i've been doing so for a long time now. Yet it never lose its magic. Nowadays, when i play the game i tend to play it through a randomizer (changes treasure chest content, you could get the flippers in the first chest for example) but i think for the 25th anniversary i'll play through the game normally again. Thank you for playing this, James & Mike.

I replayed Link to the Past a couple months ago. On this run, I used Mike's glitch where you can get to the dark world early. I skipped all the bosses until I had every dungeon's item (light and dark worlds), then returned afterwards to kill the bosses. It was a fun new way to play it. You can get the 3rd sword, then replace it with the Master Sword (2), then replace it again with the 3rd sword.

If they don't support a direct download, like they did from the Wii to the Wii U, or some sort of serious discount for such content, I may be done supporting Nintendo. They need to stop attempting to make the same money 10 times. They need more than a few franchise characters to compete in a world of better hardware and dozens of excellent software teams.

To me, this game was the perfect blend of challenge and technological capacity for it's time.

"Behold, the last moment of princess Zelda!" "Ok... I could disrupt you and try to save her or something, but I guess I'll just stand here and watch you do whatever horrific thing it is that you're doing."

It's crazy that Shigeru Miyamoto used his childhood memories playing outside as inspiration for The Legend of Zelda, because Ocarina of Time inspired me to go on adventures in my neighborhood when I was a kid. I wanted to be like Link, running through the bushes and beneath the trees with a plastic shield and a wooden sword. It's like there is an indirect thread between his experience and mine, connecting us through the years and over continents with a video game.

Just watching this again randomly in 2019 and at the beginning James is talking about playing Majora's Mask to get his opinion on it and I think we all know that now

That's also my favorite game of all time too. I love it.

UltimaKeyMaster Personally I wouldn't say since Zero Mission, I would say since Prime 3; but Zero Mission was definitely the last Metroid game before the subtle decline of Prime, then sheer drop of Other M. I don't know how Nintendo is so blind and deaf to the cry's of their fans, but I hope they take off their blinders soon; because with every turd they slap the Metroid name on, the ball of white hot hatred in my stomach grows another millimeter in diameter. And eventually it's either going to kill me from the sheer stress levels, or it's going to explode all over some innocent bystanders. Then I'll have to make some retarded case in court about how my anger over a video game made me do it, and nobody want's to see that in the news.

Hmmm maybe it's because I've played it so many times now but I personally think this is the easiest main entry in the series by a long shot. I can breeze through without a single death and collect everything in about the space of a single afternoon fairly effortlessly. I'm no pro or speed runner it's just once you know where to go and what to do this game's a complete breeze to beat.

I agree. The boss fight with Mothula in Skull Woods is the only real challenge in the game, and by then you have three bottles of life restoring assistance. LttP has pretty simple gameplay--once you memorize the dungeons and item locations, the game is breeze. And for those saying that's true of all Zelda games: no, it's not. The 3-D games are far too long and tedious to ever be a "breeze" (even though they aren't difficult). And no matter how many times you play through Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, those final dungeons will kick. Your. ASS. Blue Wizzerobes and Blue Fokkas can die in hell.

I always found the NES games way too hard (how did kids ever cope with playing them, with no walkthroughs to look up?). LttP got a good balance of hard stuff and easy stuff that is still fun. Also game being far too long and tedious doesn't they can't also be easy, not that I really think that of any of the Zelda games myself.

Buc Whovian Word of mouth helped a lot with the NES games. We talked a lot on the bus and at school, so everyone knew that you needed to play the whistle at the lake to open Level 7. Nintendo Power was also HUGE back then. I don't think enough reviewers emphasize just how popular and helpful it was. We didn't have the internet, but we had that magazine and the "tip line" to call that everyone's parent's HATED. Haha. It was not cheap to call. But more importantly, most games back then were more about skill and twitch reflex than "figuring out what to do." Maps for games like Metroid were incredibly helpful, but we usually just preferred cheat codes and stuff. I should also humbly add that we were just better gamers back then. I know that sounds like a humblebrag, but we were weened on those games--we HAD to become good to play shit like Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Mega Man, Contra, Zelda 2, etc. And keep in mind, you didn't beat every game back then. These days, you expect to finish every game you buy--they're designed to be played "through." In the NES days, you fucking "conquered" games. It was a big deal to beat a game. Most of the games you played you never came close to finishing. Anyway, agreed on Link to the Past. Lol. Got a little carried away there rambling. Sorry!

I love how Mike truly means it. when he says his favorite game is whatever he's playing. He made the same point during the Doom video.

There is something I coined awhile back, an agnostic gamer is someone who enjoys games no matter the platform, genre, age, or any other aspects. Mike, James, I think you both fit that term.

Where I'm pretty torn between A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds as my Favorite top down Zelda, Wind Waker might be my favorite 3D Zelda. I never found the Sailing in the original to be off-putting. I can see how it would be to some, but I always found it to be quite peaceful overall. Really it's hard to pick a favorite Zelda game though, because nearly all of them are pretty amazing in their own right.

Link Between Worlds was great, but a little too easy, and I actually disliked the item renting/purchasing mechanic. Part of what made the experience in Zelda games for me is finding out what new item you'd find in a dungeon.

@RetroRupp

Alan Chapman I felt that way too, until I realized that you get all of your equipment upgrades in dungeons. Then renting/buying all the other items makes the world less restrictive. It was a little on the easy side for sure, but still very fun! The hero mode is pretty brutal though! I would rather just have one mode with difficulty somewhere in the middle personally. If I had to choose. =P

Biggest aspect, when you're talking about difficulty, what "a link to the past" really nailed is the ramping up. It gets progressively harder on a very natural curve, you never meet an insurmountable roadblock. It's pretty much seamless, you learn as you play and the game gets harder as you learn. Genius. As for "liking" zelda, I gotta say I never got into the 3d games, they started getting platformy and more actionney I think, and I liked the Zelda 1/aLttP formula better. Just my opinion of course.

For the longest time, I had considered A Link To The Past to not be among my personal favorite Zelda games. I just didn't see what was so special about it compared to the rest of the series. (I played Ocarina Of Time before ALTTP, so I came away from it like, "Eh, it's basically just the original Zelda with better graphics.") After hearing what you guys had to say about the game, however, I believe I'm starting to appreciate it a lot more.

I wish I could frame this comment.

I love this game so much, One of my proudest gaming achievements when I was younger was getting a perfect 000 score at the end of this game.

Also my favorite game of all time. In fact i actually called nintendo's 900 hotline because i got stuck on an early part of the game, now i have it entirely memorized. When A Link Between Worlds came out on the 3ds i purchased the console specifically for the game and i literally cried nostalgia tears when it beat it. And now that 3ds sequel is my second favorite game of all time.

I've never played a Zelda game ever and I don't think I know anyone that has? (Except the Wii) Not many people in Ireland grew up with Nintendo systems from what I know mostly Sega, PlayStation and Xbox. Will definitely be getting the Switch though and NES mini to see what I missed out on.

Watching this randomly on November 21st 2019. 28 years to the day of it's release. Weird.

He said "Imagine your life without Zelda"...I suddenly had a very violent shudder down my spine for no reason. I don't really wanna imagine my life without LoZ in it, it's one of, if not my most favorite game series of all time. I remember hearing that Nintendo was going to be working with Universal Studios to put an area for them in their theme parks and it just reminded me of how much I'd love a Disney style park where it's just ALL Nintendo so you could travel to the different lands like Mushroom Kingdom, Popstar from Kirby, one of the many worlds for Metroid or Star Fox, and most awesomely...Hyrule from LoZ..ooh two castles, Peach's and Zelda's could be centerpieces for each area so you could visit Hyrule Castle Town. I still would love something like this but chances of it are low.

I got this game when it was still new for Christmas. I Sneak Opened the present from under the tree and beat the game before actual Christmas day. It was awesome! I technically ruined my own Christmas that year...

I did the same thing for Mortal Kombat on SNES in ‘93. By the time Christmas morning came around I had practically beat the whole game.

So since Mike's favorite game is The Legend of Zelda on NES (or at least tends to be) and James' favorite game is A Link to the Past, then whose favorite game is Zelda II: The Adventure of Link?

It's interesting that James said your favorite thing picks you, because I never asked for A Link to the Past but I somehow got it as a gift when I was young man. So that was cool.

I recently attended the Zelda Symphony Orchestra where they play the music with someone playing the games in the background. I was sickened as to how many people didn't know what this was. My favorite of all time.

my favourite game has never changed: Landstalker on genesis.

I've tried a whole bunch of different Zeldas on different systems and I've never liked any of them. I've never been into the story, the gameplay mechanics, the characters, the setting... I don't really have a decent explanation as to why, but there has just always been a huge disconnect with me and this series to where I'm bored by and uninterested in the whole experience. Then I get to be that guy who gets annoyed by feeling like the whole thing is inescapable - You know when you're not into a game or a movie or a TV show and everyone keeps banging on about how great it is? And you don't even deny that it probably is great, but because you're not into it, it starts to feel like a personal affront to you and your tastes, even though it really isn't? That's like me and Zelda.

I have the same feelings with DBZ Budokai 3, everyone praises that game saying that it's the best DBZ game ever, but the more I'm trying to play it the more I hate it, I just can't get into it. The controls just feel clunky, sometimes the game is too slow other times is too fast and sometimes it feels like the buttons don't respond. I went to back Budokai 3 a lot of times, trying to play it and see what's so great about it, but I just couldn't get into it. It's weird though, I do like fighting games like Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom and I also like Dragon Ball but I can't get into DBZ Budokai 3.

Not only was this one of the greatest SNES games to be released, it was also one of the greatest GBA games released.

James & Mike Mondays has become one of my favourite shows on Cinemassacre.

Gunpei produced the game but he did NOT design it or direct it. Hiroji Kiyotake created Samus visualy. Hiroji Kiyotake, Makoto Kano, Hiroji Kiyotake and Hirofumi Matsuoka were all the designers.

Nintendo Power ran an awesome Zelda: Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori, they released it by itself as an oversize book, I got it for $15 at Walmart. Every Zelda fan should have it.

I honestly think Zelda might have taken inspiration from the Movie Legend (1985). I could be off base, but I see great similarities.

I assume by 3D, you mean the Legends games, and not X7. I always felt the Legends games were pretty solid, but thought that Megaman never really transitioned as well as Zelda or Mario. Did a heck of a lot better than Castlevania, though, that's for sure.

What Mike said about picking his favorite video game is exactly how I feel. There are so many good games that it's really hard to choose just one. It really all depends on what I'm in the mood for and what I'm playing at the time. The most that I can narrow it down would be my favorite game franchise or series.

I've played through this game ten times, but yet here I am, a quarter of a century later, watching someone else do it.

Awesome. Best game ever.

How to pick a favorite, have a game meet these two criteria: 1) you got great joy from it. 2) you would replay it. there are some games that I really enjoyed, but I wouldn't replayed it again. That's why I wouldn't call them my favorite.

haha, Mike.. "haha I will send you to the dark world link!" way to end on that little gem of a line. I was too young when I started playing this game I think and I couldn't figure out a lot of things so I wasn't able to complete it. But I still had very fond memories of it.

You should play zelda 1 or 2! It probably should be the second one because many people aren't familiar with zelda 2 but everyone knows zelda 1
