The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past is the only ever Zelda game for the SNES, and the third in the series. It is by many considered the best Zelda game of all time, and by even more as a great game. After the side-scrolling RPG that was Adventure of Link, a dissapointement to many, this game returned to the overhead view of Legend of Zelda, and made Link once again have weapons other then the sword, like the Bow and the Boomerang. ALttP also introduced many new items to the series, among them the Hookshot and bottles. It was also the first game to feature the Master Sword. ALttP was the first game to delve deeper into the myths, legends and history of Hyrule, and introduced Din, Nayru and Farore, the three Godesses that created Hyrule.

The game was re-released in 2003 for Gameboy Advance, along with the multiplayer adventure, Four Swords.

Story
The game starts when Zelda telepathically askes Link for help, as she's been locked into the dungeon of Hyrule Castle. Link then sees his uncle leave, armed with sword and shield. Though he is told to go back to bed, he ventures out, and makes his way into the castle, where he finds his uncle. His uncle gives him a sword and shield, and Link uses them to venture deeper into the castle, into the dungeon, and rescues Zelda... For the time... He is told that a strange, evil wizard, Aghanim, has appeared, kidnapping maidens and putting the soldiers of Hyrule under a spell. He sets out to save the world...
