Let's Play The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (100%)

  • Full Name: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
  • Console: Super Nintendo
  • Release Year: 1992
  • LP Timeframe: July 6th - August 29th, 2025

First released in 1991 in Japan and 1992 in North America for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is widely regarded as one of the greatest video games of all time. It was the third game in the Zelda series and a monumental leap forward, introducing the franchise's signature structure of overworld and dungeon exploration, puzzle-solving, and thrilling combat. With its rich world, stunning visuals for the era, and unforgettable soundtrack, A Link to the Past set the gold standard for action-adventure games.

Developed by Nintendo's legendary R&D4 team under the direction of Takashi Tezuka and producer Shigeru Miyamoto, the game introduced mechanics that became staples of the franchise, such as the Master Sword, parallel worlds (Light and Dark World), and more complex item usage in dungeons. Its non-linear design, atmospheric storytelling, and challenging gameplay made it a must-have for any SNES owner and a blueprint for future Zelda titles.

InvictusBM LP #005

Of course I had to LP my favorite game of all time! :D This LP is a 100% playthrough, just like all the early LPs. We explored every inch of Hyrule, both the Light and the Dark World, and collected all heart pieces, upgrades, bottles and secrets, while guiding Link aka Invi (this LP is where the nickname came from!) on his journey to rescue Zelda and thwart the evil wizard "AGAHNIM!" and the dark power of Ganon. This LP lasted 28 episodes.

During the A Link to the Past LP, the LP for Donkey Kong Country came and went, the LPs for Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie ended, and the LPs for Pikmin and Donkey Kong Country 2 started. This LP was followed by Super Mario Galaxy 2.
