Ah, A Link to the Past—this is the one that really set the standard for Zelda games. You start off in the rain, sneaking into Hyrule Castle to rescue Princess Zelda, and before long you're flipping between light and dark worlds like some kind of magical detective. The dungeons are just the right mix of tricky and satisfying, and that moment when you finally get the Master Sword? Pure hype.

It’s got that classic top-down view, but don’t let the simple look fool you—there’s a ton of secrets hidden everywhere. I still remember getting stuck for ages trying to figure out where to bomb next. And the music? Iconic. That overworld theme still pops into my head randomly.

If you’ve never played it, you’re in for one of the best adventures the SNES ever had to offer.
