| mZuzek said: (..) "What the hell happened here?" A Link to the Past was my favorite game growing up. I loved it like nothing else back in my early childhood, when I got rather deep into it without knowing a shred of English, but could never finish it. I moved on eventually, but when I gave this another go in 2011, I finally played through the whole game and it remained my favorite game well into my teenage years. However, it's now getting close to a decade since I last played it, maybe it's because I got burnt out from replaying it so many times, but I've genuinely lost interest and just don't think of it as highly as I used to. It's kept a very high place in these lists because of sentimental value, but I feel like even that value is fading. I'm sorry, Link to the Past. You're still a masterpiece. |
This is more or less also my story for this game, except maybe the burnt out part. I actually played a 'randomiser' of ALttP not too long ago. You know, a hack which randomises the locations of all the items. For example the bottle boy gives you the Master Sword or the big chest in a dungeon just contains a Red Rupee or something. Was quite fun, and it forces you think outside the box because it makes you look everywhere to get the items you need to progress but at the same time you might not need everything to get to Ganon. I'd recommend it for those who know this game (too) well.
