A 1991 Super Nintendo action-adventure by Nintendo in which Link travels between Hyrule and the Dark World to rescue seven maidens and Princess Zelda from the wizard Agahnim.
Design
Directed by Takashi Tezuka under producer Shigeru Miyamoto, A Link to the Past reset the franchise after the divisive Zelda II. The dual-world structure inspired countless dungeon-based action-adventures.
Gameplay
Link explores a top-down Hyrule, mirroring locations in a corrupted Dark World. The Magic Mirror lets the player swap between realms, and the Master Sword arrives partway through to wield against Ganon.
Legacy
A Link to the Past sold over four million copies, established the modern Zelda template, and was directly followed by Link’s Awakening, Ocarina of Time, and the 2013 sequel A Link Between Worlds.
