1. Legend of Zelda Link to the Past
Game
The game Legend of Zelda Link to the Past is an RPG type of game, the game was
released in 1991 in Japan. The game had 16 bit music that gets annoying after
hearing it for 30 minutes. It has also has sold over 4 million copies of the game. It
is a very basic game that has no turn system and when it comes to fighting it is
pretty much impossible to win. The graphics were not very good you didn't make
out the character face it looked like a pixel game; it is very basic and simple, but
this was considered and still is known as a good game to some people.
2. this is link exploring the map to find another dungeon.
How did it feel?
The game didn't run smoothly at all, it was terrible to fight and it can annoy
people when the game can’t function properly. I thought it was a game made by
an 8 year old in other words a flash game. It was a dreadful game to play it was
terrible to look at the music made me feel like I was born in the 80s; it made me
want to rage at the game in many ways. But at this time this game would have
been considered the greatest game made it’s like people in our time reacting to
the new iPhone. also the attacks were terrible to control each time you attack
Link stops moving then you are open to get attacked by other enemies therefore
you can be easily killed and this really annoyed me when an opponent comes
out of no where and kills me right after a kill one of them. also i got very
annoyed with the hidden entrance to one of the dungeons, they didn't give
another hints to where it was.
The Story
The game Legend of Zelda the story behind it is that Link needs to save the
princess and you can gain more weapons like the boomerang to help you do so.
The way it opens into the game is on a stormy screen where his uncle is in his
room and told Link to stay home but he didn't listen to his uncles words. The
princess is in trouble and she asks for his help to save her, and she is locked in a
dungeon and its the evil wizards doing . When you fined the entrance to this
3. building you meet his uncle and he gives you his sword which you can perform
light and heavy attacks with, and tells him to save the princess that is locked away.
Then he comes in contacts with enemies that he has to defeat before he saves the
princess the first enemies are week and you can kill them with one heavy attack
performed by Link. But as the game and Link proceeds the enemies become even
stronger. When you are searching for the princess you come across a chest that
gives you a boomerang and this comes in hand to stun enemies that are too strong,
this gives you more of and advantage in taking out the enemies in the game. after
you reach a certain point in the game there is a dark world you can go to.
this is another opponent link faces and they can get very annoying when they kill
you over and over again.
4. This is one of the boss fight that you fight and he is very powerful and very
difficult to beat.

this is the map in Legend of Zalda and you can walk around the whole map but
there are guards that stand in your way therefore you have to find a root to avoid
them and get to the the location you need to get to.

Evaluate
over all I thing this game was just terrible to play because it’s an 16 bit game
that has very bad graphics and did not run smoothly at all and the
fighting mechanics are one of the worst i have seen in a long time. There
were even glitches in the game when I was playing I was losing health when
I was not near any enemies at the time. also the music
was annoying having to listen to the same song for however long you were
playing it for. Another thing that was difficult was finding the entrance to
the dungeon it was hidden and I could not find it until someone showed me
where it was. Also i believe at the start of the game the health was to low
and there was not many checkpoints so when you die you have to start
from the start of the game, this got very irritating therefore i believe the
game could of been made a lot better this was horrible in my opinion, just
because the graphics are the worst I have seen in a long time and if you
compare it to a modern day game you would think it was made by
an armature. The game Zelda is not a game i have been found off.
6. Link

almost immortal but he can be killed by master swords, silver arrows and light
arrows.
