This came out my freshman year in high school. I remember faking sick for an entire week to stay home and marathon this. My parents were separated at the time and in hindsight I think my mom was just indulging me. Anyway, this game got me through a rough time, so it holds a special place in my heart.
The sense of nostalgia I get every time I watch a video about these games is crazy!! From the sound of that signature music, to the graphics and story; it was a fun time to be a gamer!
Yay! I enjoy your channel so much. I, like so many others, have such fond memories of playing these games with friends, family and even just by ourselves. Zelda is probably my favorite game franchise ever, nevermind Nintendo specific titles alone. I would like to impress upon you just how much I enjoy your content. I listen to these while working and relaxing I'm usually in a better mood after watching your videos due to the the aforementioned treasured recollection. These games mean so much to so many people myself included and so therefore by extant your videos are very important. Thank you so much for all the work and time that you pour into your Channel. I guess in closing I would just say keep up the great work, always remember to take care of yourself/ health first and I hope this comment finds you well and in good spirits and company. Take care friend ✌️
A Link to The Past really does seem to be the point where the series found it's groove and came into it's own from both a storytelling and gameplay standpoint. Looking forward to watching cover the rest of this game and the extra GBA dungeon.
On the day that this was released, myself and two friends managed to finish it before midnight. We didn't get to pick it up until we got off school at 3:30. We went straight to Canadian Tire (there were no game stores until Game Dudes opened the next year and GameStop a couple years after that) then straight home. we were called to dinner part way through and ate as fast as we could. I think we lost maybe 1-1/2 hours between travel and eating. This means we finished Link To The Past within about 7 hours, on release day, without a guide.
It is interesting that the closet we have gotten to a single player Zelda game with a “party” is Tears of the Kingdom, but only sort of. Of course the 4 Swords games were multiplayer party games, but I found the GBA one hard to play because I could not get my friends to all want to play it at the same time.
I remember my first time playing through this game when i was a kid. (Like 8 or 9) - i didnt know it kept count of deaths. I was so surprised i had died 203 times! (That number is burned into my memory.) I had to do it again and try for no deaths. Needless to say i played through this game easily 20 times. Just recently did a run tonsee how quickly i could do it with getting all items, maps compasses includes, and heart pieces. Just under 4 hours. I think i can do better though! Thanks for the videos!
Tip: The "u" in "Kensuke" isn't really pronounced, same in similar names like "Sasuke". Otherwise your Japanese pronunciation is generally pretty good.
