    One of the highest marks in gaming history

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is considered by many, as the greatest game of all time. Even if you ask people that don't necessarily agree, most of them can understand why. The game is what you can call a perfect sequel, picks up what the first game did great and upgrade it in every level. Better graphics, better soundtrack, more fluid gameplay, more secrets, more upgrades, more diversity and places to explore.

    It starts in your house, with your character (Link) sleeping in his bed, while his uncle, armed with a sword and shield, leaves the house on the middle of a storm. You then get up and go after him to see what happened. And that's how this amazing adventure starts. The game isn't that long, and has alot of optional itens and upgrades. Making it very replayable and one of the most popular games in the speedrun and marathon streams you can find in the community of gamers.

    A Link to the Past is a true classic, a solid masterpiece and one of the greatest games ever made. A must-play for everybody.
