Zelda A Link to the Past | The Completionist | New Game Plus

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

If you had to come up with the next Legend of Zelda game, what would you title it?

[@dmtrsgrksrphl2501]

I guess I would call it The Legend of Zelda:The Rays of Hope

[@its_elkku135]

The Legend of Link: Zelda's quest

[@philby7536]

The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle

[@jarronhouse9517]

The Completionist The Legend of Zelda: Save Us

[@Sir1650]

The Completionist legend of Zelda, the lost hero

[@sludgewave4786]

Actually the zelda commercial would work perfectly for breath of the wild...You spend half the game climbing up mountain. And then lighting strike you.

Link to the Past is the one game that I consistently replay every couple of years. I've probably replayed it a dozen times. It's just that good.

[@SamVarvodic]

I love the simplicity of A Link to the Past. There's not an awful lot you have to do to 100% it, and for the most part nothing feels out of the way.

[@silentkaine9352]

Just played and beat this for the first time on switch and its insane to me how well this game has help up 30 years later. I mean the game has fast travel for god sake its insane. Honestly I loved playing it more than I do a lot of modern games.

[@mushyplushie7426]

As someone who is the ages 10-20 and watching this video, a while ago I booted up the SNES classic I have, and I started playing it, and I just ADORE this game, It has so much charm and color! I was never a big Zelda fan but this, BotW, and OoT really made me realize what I’ve been missing out on all these years! But my overall opinion on this game is that it’s great!

[@EpicGameMusic]

Link to the Past still holds up as one of the best games of all times! Truly a masterpiece!

For those who didn't grow up with it, it's a bit of a pain to play. Particularly the shield and menus just made me want to go back to Link's Awakening or the Oracle games.

[@marisac.1391]

I played the GameBoy Advance port of A Link to the Past when I was young, barely about 7 at the time when I first got it. I honestly didn't know at that time that it was a port, just a new game to play. As I played my way through each dungeon and every part of the map, I didn't even notice how much time had passed. I was enthralled with the look and feel of the game and aimed to collect all of the heart pieces and heart containers. In the end, I managed to get all the upgrades to my sword, shield, all of the heart pieces and heart containers, and I beat the final boss. And funnily enough, that was the only time I managed to do all of that. Even though it's an older title, whenever I go back and play A Link to the Past I'm always revitalized with just how polished everything looks and how well the game plays. Because of my love for it as a kid and the fond memories I have from playing it, A Link to the Past is irrefutably my favorite Legend of Zelda game from the franchise. This review was amazing Jirard and really did the game justice. Thank you for reviewing it again and have an awesome day! ^^

[@sluggy1]

I would say consoder yourself lucky.. for those of us that got to play the game of it being new and before internet walkthroughs and all of that its such a masterpiece.. nice that the gba port helped even more people experience that

[@EarthwormHam]

My absolute most favorite game! I first played this game when I was a young child before being able to read. Back then, I figured out how to get through the game entirely by trial and error since I couldn't read any hints. It took a while, but I remember having a blast the whole time. Great to see this one back in your repertoire!

[@BovinaSancta79]

"Every tree is crafted in a loving way"? They are literally copy pasted LOL Don't mean that in a bad way... I doubt there were much room (memory space-wise) to make every tree look different. Damn, I loved playing this game when I was 13-14. Played it a year or so after it came out, and me and my friend spent so much time in it! Love it

[@zeikjt]

You know what though? The way the trees fuse into each other when overlapping is actually pretty impressive for those SNES sprite based days. Kudos to them for going that extra mile instead of just making them sit identically side by side.

[@rdu239]

Maybe he is talking about how cartoony and childish the art style is, like you are inside a fairy tale book

[@Kuma5655]

I think he just meant that their design in general is inspired. They made them look pretty distinct.

[@ReneePrower]

I had the same thought, though I don't think he was referring to each tree being unique so much as their design being generally charming.

[@BovinaSancta79]

@Rebard Prower. Yeah I get it. My comment was mostly supposed to be funny, and not taken so seriously :) Love the design of the game, and I really think it is charming.

[@lftenjamin]

Man, these New Game plus reviews are amazing. It's been so entertaining to remember where you started and where you are now Jirard. I've been a fan of your content since near the beginning, and I want to say thank you for working so hard for us. You're an absolute genuine person

[@INSEIKYU01]

"Nintendo saves the industry" how many times have I heard that 😁

[@007robotchicken]

Well, it's technically true. Had Super Mario Bros and the NES not been so successful all the way back in 1985, video games would look very different today.

[@MrRetroswag]

@@007robotchicken They are saving the video game industry right now. Most of their games don't have micro transactions except for the cross platform games. They put their game out and charge you what its worth

If you love A Link To The Past so much, you might be interested to note that there was a Japan exclusive sequel to A Link To The Past, Decades before A Link Between Worlds. It's Called "BS The Legend of Zelda, Ancient Stone Tablets" and it was for the Satelaview addon for the Super Famicom.

I literally just started that game last week for the first time. Its badass

[@Reinreith]

crimsonking440 the sequels are really fun too, especially since you can import the save from the first game to the second, I have my concerns with the 3rd game, but it was fun enough that I played through it twice to 100%

[@Felixthebrute]

I asked him in a stream a few weeks ago. He said he's heard a lot of really good things about the series, and he might check them out at some point. Nothing definite, but it's a possibility. Also, TLA > TBS. >.>

[@Msoulwing]

Golden Sun is one of those series that I really wish would get more games. The Lost Age is still one of my absolute favorites for the GBA.

[@TryppiDnB]

INSTANT like for this being your favorite Zelda title. I was born in '93, my mom played and beat this while she was pregnant with me. My first memories were playing this game. Sure that may make me a little biased, but this game set a standard. So many elements that are staples in the Zelda series came from this game. The Master Sword, Zora's Domain, countless dungeon elements, Hyrule Castle, The ocarina(flute). The soundtrack is a masterpiece for this era of gaming. And I mean the GRAPHICS! Just the animations and graphics of going in and out of doors alone were just so visually appealing and felt so fluid. And the dungeons... Oh my goodness the dungeons are amazing. I loved the tiles in front of the door to the bosses to let you know it was the boss room. From all the big things to the little, from left to right, all down to the pixel, I love this freaking game. I feel like an old lady describing how things were back in her time. Help me...

[@kaernos23]

Also a great start to the "Hey, what happens when I hit the cucco this time?" game.

[@lambiepie6436]

It's heart warming, even for people like me who are cold and dead inside, to see Jirard talk about games like when he's truly passionate about them, he's so happy and it's great.

[@xnaut2000]

A Link to the Past remains as phenomenal as ever. It holds up incredibly well similarly to Super Metroid and Super Mario World. It remains my 3rd favorite Zelda game to this day only after Ocarina of Time and A Link Between Worlds.

[@AngeDeJmusic]

It was my love of watching my brothers play "A Link to the past," that brought me to tears playing "A link between worlds," and hearing that iconic opening remastered.

[@vanquish5023]

Would love in the wrap up section if you would include the time it took you to complete it the first time and the time it took now.

[@TWShadow]

Darth Vanquish Hey that's a good idea.

[@solofox9426]

I was 10 years old when LTTP came out. I had saved my allowance for months for it and I remember being so excited about getting it that I had my ride home from school drop me off at Sears department store. They ended up not having the game yet so I had to walk miles to Software Etc at the local mall. Thankfully they had it but now I was a over an hour walk away from home. My excitement somehow got me thru the long walk back. By the time I got home it was after dark , I was hungry, exhausted and didn't have much time to play before bedtime so I was pretty bummed. But once I popped that cartridge in and played that opening sequence, all that didn't matter anymore. It was the best game I had ever played up until that point, beating out my old favorite the original Zelda. Whenever I play it I always remember that first release day craziness.

[@sph3re]

"When I say 'Zelda' to you, what song comes to your mind?" Funny, none of those are the Dark World theme.

[@williamhuynh869]

I only think of Sarias song in OOT and Wind Wakers intro song

[@cylnder]

The Hyrule Field Theme

[@namegoeshere8564]

Main theme, Dark World, Saria’s song, and Zelda’s Lullaby are what come to my mind

[@not2tired]

Hyrule Castle

[@JerryLantz]

This game was probably the best Christmas present I ever received. It was my first Zelda, and is still my favorite. I remember not wanting to leave my room for a couple weeks just so I could keep playing it. The songs still randomly get stuck in my head. This and Super Mario RPG are tied as my favorite games of my childhood.

[@Darthadios]

This game have my longest playing session record, which is 13 hours in a row, that´s where I did the 000 run meaning no save and no death, so I had to play it super carefully, but I did it. And you can´t save because this game counts save and quit as death. Now I probably could do that faster but back in the day it took 13 hours to do.

[@jackelliott6685]

I have played this too many times to still enjoy it. I admire your ability to continue to enjoy this game so much when you've played it far more than me.

[@link100yearnap]

My 5 favorite Zelda games are 1st.Ocarina of Time: cuz its ocarina of time 2nd.Twilight Princess (GameCube): its hard and challenging plus the good characters plus the great music 3rd.(plz don't kill me) Spirit Tracks:it's the first Zelda game I played and for me it's the hardest 4th.Breath of the Wild:its great , its gigantic (the world) and its hard as F*** to complete it 5th.

Watching Andy speedrun this game (with any criteria, in any of its iterations) is a sight to behold. I am excellent at A Link to the Past, and since about 1993, I've been able to tell you where every heart piece is and tell you every room in every dungeon. I still 100% about twice a year, and I'm elite. Andy makes me look like my mother trying to play Super Mario Bros 3 for the first time back in 1990.

Finding your way in the woods and finding the master-sword, what a magical moment. Storm the castle, defeat the sorcerer and rescue the princess! But oh no, that's only the tutorial. The dark world was so scary as a kid. "Wait what?! I'm not done!? Why am I on this creepy pyramid? What are all those scary monsters?! They're so much more powerful! How do I get home!?" When you didn't know beforehand, it was a plottwist done right. A twisted, new world to discover. So exciting to visit the places you knew in the light world, now totally changed but still somewhat the same. Much more dungeons, much more items and much more challenges! Man... Now I wanna play it again.

[@FettManTAG]

Thing of note, Jirard. Vitrious wasn't referenced in a future game. The eyeball you showed was actually Digdogger from Oracle of Seasons which featured all of the bosses from original Zelda.

[@palimer6]

Vitreous was pretty much the worst example he could have chosen. Didn't even get a reimagining in a link between worlds

[@GameAlicornLuna]

And a lot of the other Eyeball enemies have been more memorable. Digdogger got at least 2 appearances and was memorable for me in the past because I could not figure out how to beat him (because I didn't have the Recorder) Then there's Wart from Majora's Mask who is more like Arghus from the Swamp Palance for being somewhat difficult as I remembered.

[@AndresLionheart]

Let's not be unfair with the graphics comparisons with Ocarina of Time here. Yes, cartoony graphics (especially well done sprites) hold up better than 3D models, but you are also playing this on some kind of emulator, probably the SNES Classic. If you recorded this from an SNES it wouldn't even look nearly as good. N64 games upscaled on emulator look leagues better than they do in the actual console too. Overall, the emulated SNES games are gonna look better due to the art style, but I just wanted to make that point.

[@IeanDrew]

AndresLionheart Also OoT3D looks pretty good.

[@JerryLantz]

Yeah, I played Majora's Mask a little bit ago on an emulator, and it looked way better than on the actual console

[@deconstructionjd514]

AndresLionheart I doubt he's playing on an emulator.

[@AndresLionheart]

He is most likely playing on an emulator, my guess is the SNES Classic. The image is way too sharp for being from the actual console, even through something like a framemeister

[@mallorycarll6280]

AndresLionheart -- That's what I was thinking... He's trying to compare a 2D to a 3D based on visuals. What? OoT isn't even my favorite Zelda game, but I know that comparison is a bit of a stretch since we moved on from the N64 capabilities. Of course, it's going to look a little dated. But if we're going to compare it within the time it came out, I think just about everyone would have favored the 3D model since it was then first you could play as Link in 3D space.

[@steveelmy]

A Link to The Past was memorable for me in the UK because it was only time I had to go out of my way to play a SNES game: the only copy I could find was an American cartridge (and this was not too long after the game's release) and I had to buy a converter to play it. Loved every moment, and sadly it got stolen by a friend of my younger brother some years after I had finished it... But it led me to play Links Awakening, The Minish Cap, Ocarina Of Time, The Windwaker and others, and A Link to The Past for me was my First Zelda game (though I knew of the first 2 before then but never owned an NES). One point I felt I had to pull you up on... the "entire" video games industry didn't crash in 1983, just the industry in North America... Nothing happened here in the UK, we've never had a video game crash, and Nintendo of the 80's didn't have nearly as much of an impact here, largely down to Nintendo, hence why the Sega Master System, Mega Drive/Genesis and Game Gear did better (though I still own my original Gameboy and SNES, and didn't buy a Mega Drive/Genesis with Power Base Converter until about 2010).

[@kiingflash1212]

So when Nintendo makes a good game series, has one bad game they go back to the formula that made it good? Hmmmmm..... *whispers* if only it didn't take Sega 10 years to follow this example

[@dsproductions19]

When you were describing how it held up so well, it just reminded me of when I played it and constantly thought "I'd rather play Link's Awakening, since it's way better..." Of course it's all subjective and opinion, but there are flaws in ALttP that have not help up, and have been fixed in later titles. Little things like the shield being 'just there' is boring, the menu is a pain for those who didn't grow up with it (how it doesn't let you hover over empty spaces). Also, there's the fact that the vast majority of the characters just push you along the story, instead of being actual characters. Link's Awakening (and every other game after it) fixed these (admittedly) minor issues. This was even more impressive, since it was on the original GameBoy, with the DX version on the GBC, which were vastly less-powerful systems to the SNES. The island of Koholint has many times more character than all of Hyrule and the Dark World in ALttP, which are just generic fantasy steeings. Same thing with the characters, since Marin is a more fleshed out character (and has more dialogue) than basically all of the story NPCs in ALttP combined. Again, it's all opinions, but this was the kind of things I thought when playing ALttP, and it surprises me that I've never really seen anyone else say something similar.

Looks like there's an ignorant gamer here! Because you never realised that shield blocks ranged attacks ( like in real life ), I'm guessing you're the guy who doesn't explore movesets nor techniques. I mean, there's a reason you can't attack arrows and other ranged attacks unlike with your sword and an enemy's melee attack. Two equipment slots have many flaws, even more compared to the one item, sword and shield equipment. With the custom duo slots, you can't always wield important equipment such as the sword and shield, so you could get your custom items confused with important items. ALTTP's equipment system can easily be used logically if you *know logical directions* . It can also be a pain choosing both items when exploring your inventory in LA because, y'know, two items. Most characters in LA are only used as random NPCs and plot continuation, only exception is Marin, who is sadly still a plot continuator and is only there to show a short bond. The exploration and non-linearity is greater in ALTTP, and you'll get rewarded greater than just getting a L-2 sword. Overall, most of what you said is just you being ignorant about both wonderful game titles that holds the Zelda series' system true. ( I'm aware about it being you opinion, but then again, ignorance )

Oh man they put the sword in his left hand. They got it right.

I hear the next Labo add-on will be cardboard dumbells and stalks of broccoli. "Working Out Regularly and Eating my Vegetables Simulator," coming in Winter 2019. Jokes aside, this was a great review to wake up to, Jirard! Your passion for what you do is nothing short of inspiring ^_^

[@RezeedTheDataspirit]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the GBA version which does have a bonus dungeon.

[@zacsolo1594]

[@retrogamerfan123]

Not only that but you can unlock the hurricane spin :)

Zacsolo Gaming Except resident evil remake.

[@zacsolo1594]

''like almost''

[@thebossthusiast1960]

What an amazing game. It always reminds me of being outside and exploring as a kid, which is exactly what Shigeru Miyamoto was going for when he made it.

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

My favorite Zelda Game. Fight me!

[@MaxDowngrades]

No legend of link

[@stevesamuals2651]

I prefer link between world's.

[@williamwhite2568]

Beer By The Numbers Mine too

[@KoroftheSon]

I get the feeling that nobody's going to fight you on that. Lol

[@qumxlinger1081]

Why would anyone fight you? You said "My favorite" meaning it's an opinion. Least your not spreading that shit around like Gospel like the Ocarina Nostalgia 'tards. Oh shit, now fight *me* fanboys!!

[@GodoMatrix]

This is my first time watching a new game plus video, man that opening is epic. Good memories.

[@rainman3304]

This was my first game I ever completed at 7 years old! I fell in love with the game, the puzzles, the magical music! It is perfect to every minute detail.

[@nicknackue]

The best things about these videos are they are about the history of the game itself, they are reviews and they are about completing the games.

[@Mystic-Aidan]

The Legend Of Zelda: Wind From The South, and the signature weapon is a fart gun.

[@spacejunkgalaxy]

found an old comment this time

[@TheRobodude]

Cant tell you how much i would love to see you complete golden sun and golden sun the lost age. My #1 favorite games of all time.

[@wispthevulpix7857]

Just a heads up, Your Minish Cap review isn't in the zelda playlist yet :P

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

Thank you!

[@InazumaDash]

*Crash in the USA. Not Europe or Japan.

[@IrishmanAC]

If its not about Merica, it ain't relevant. That is just how they think.

[@theoneandonlyranch4552]

He never said it was in the eu or jp

[@theoneandonlyranch4552]

Rita Cocco maybe that how you heard it but im pretty sure thats not how it was meant

[@Lucarioguild7]

Rin I don't know if you know this or not but an industry crash in the US has far reaching consequences

[@CrashDunning]

He's American, so he's going to talk about America. If you're European, you're going to talk about Europe. That's how it is.

[@Gharon]

If i had to name one game from my childhood that defined my undying love for video games it would be A Link to the Past. Almost everything about it was perfection at that point in time, and it still holds up both in visuals and gameplay more than 26 years later.

[@splashor6361]

I just played this game and OH MY GOD IT'S SO GODDAMN HARD. I went to get my first pendent, just to find that dying once sends you all the way back to the start. And believe me when I say it is easy to die.

[@coopercummings8370]

You are probably doing something wrong. A link to the past is not a hard game, especially for the era it came out in. You do need to pay attention to where enemies are, but you can outrun nearly anything, you just need to avoid standing where enemies are going until you are ready to attack.
