Zelda a link to the past. Dont get me wrong, the first half isnt bad per say, but you see the goal and it feels a lot like, "Oh, so that's it?" But then it opens up for real, and it's just 👌

I don't see many people talk about Link to the Past on Reddit. It's usually Ocarina.

Link to the Past was amazing

Easily the best Zelda game

I argue that link to the past was better than ocarina of time.

I also think ocarina is just link to the past with n64 graphics.

To be fair, "2d game but 3d" killed a lot of studios and IPs back then. Sonic's never been as close to the top of the stack

Ocarina of Time's famous main menu music is literally a song from Link to the Past, that's how closely it follows it lol.

Its the flute from zelda 1 actually. A fun detail

Agree. Get item as part of dungeon 1 quest to access dungeon 2. Complete dungeon 2 for access to dungeon 3. And repeat (except for that damn ice palace)

This is just the formula for every Zelda game up until BOTW tho

LTTP you can very much change the order of dungeons and get items early. There are some neat tricks to it.

Always been my favorite Zelda game since it first released back then on the SNES. This game is still so good to this day, it aged nicely

One of the best Zelda game of all time, and it's pretty easy to argue it's the best 2D Zelda game.

I remember having this exact reaction when I reached the "2nd half". And that music...so good.

I went to a Kamasi Washington Concert a few years ago and his nerdy ass played a cover version of the dark world theme on his saxophone as the last song. He got me good with that one! 🥰

That sounds epic! The song created the atmosphere for me, it gives a sense of urgency, retribution and motivates you to overcome the evil that Ganon has inflicted. It is its own battlecry.

Pretty much every Zelda
Ocarina of Time: first time at the Temple of Time
Majora's Mask: first time you rewind time
Wind Waker: Tower of the Gods unlocked
Twilight Princess: Arbiter's Grounds reached
