Growing up I played a lot of games...a LOT of games, but for some reason or another one of the two games that really got me into gaming is A Link to the Past. Sure I had played the other two Zelda games before it, but for the younger version of me those where way to hard. (Heck the first Zelda still puts up a challenge to this day) Besides that this was just an awesome game to play in general. There are tons of items to collect, all the pieces of hearts like usual, there are a couple of your items that can be upgraded, and then there's the huge world x2. Now this isn't all that challenging of a Zelda game, but that's not to say that the dungeons puzzles or bosses are just overly easy either. A Link to the Past is definitely one the the top five Zelda games ever made that seems to just have everything in it, from a long story to plentiful amount of items and really awesome boss fights, this is one game that everybody should play at least four times.
Any series that can have a top five within it's own series is impressive... This game does bring back so many memories though. There were other games that I had played previous to this that MADE me a gamer... however THIS game is the one that locked me in and triggered my love for adventure and rpgs... In my mind, this was the perfect game.
