TOGP #16: "That One Game: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past"


Listen Later

This week Colin, Lucas, and Neal take you back to the past in an epic quest to save the world and banish the evil Ganon from existence. That's right, this week we're talking about That One Game - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Released in Japan on November 21st, 1991, North America on April 13, 1992, and later in European regions on September 24th of that year, A Link to the Past is the third game in the Zelda franchise, and marks the series' jump into the 16-bit era on Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Helmed by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto, this game returned to the top-down style popularized by the first game, while also serving to introduce many series mainstays such as the Master Sword, hook shot, spin attack, and probably most notably - parallel worlds. In this game the player is able to travel back and forth between Light and Dark Worlds - two opposite but fully realized worlds with their own unique characters, enemies, and dungeons. At the time such a feature was unprecedented and to this day it remains a showcase of the capabilities of the Super Nintendo hardware.
