The Legend of Zelda is not only one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises along with the likes of Super Mario and Pokémon but it’s also one of the most iconic in all of the video game industry and fans of the series can never get enough Link and Zelda goodness.
Depending on which fan you ask, each might give you a different answer as to which is the best game inThe Legend of Zeldaseries. On a different day, I could answer between,Ocarina of Time,The Wind WakerorA Link to the Past, and it’s the latter which is the topic of today’s discussion.
Check out The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past trailer below!
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastwas originally released for theSNESin 1991 in Japan, then the following year for Europe and North America. It’s often rare for anyZelda gamenot to be a critical and commercial hit (other than those CD-i games) and sticking to tradition,A Link to the Pastwas a hit with fans.

22 years later,The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastwould receive a sequel in 2013 for theNintendo3DS withA Link Between Worlds(which you should check out). So with it being 10 years since that release, fans are craving some old-school Zelda adventures.
There was some hope thatThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastmight receive a modern remake, similar to 2019’sLink’s Awakeningfor theNintendo Switch(a remake of the 1993 Game Boy title). Sadly, that time hasn’t arrived yet, but a dedicated fan has taken matters into their own hands.

Unfortunately, there are no signs of that official remake happening anytime soon. You can at least still play digital versions ofThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Paston Wii, Wii U and 3DS if you nabbed a digital copy before Nintendo closed the digital stores.
If you missed out on those digital copies, you also have the option of playingThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastas part of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.
