Best memory of "Link to the Past"

[King of Terror]

Mine has always been fighting Ganon. I got it done to a science 16 years ago.....damn 16 years.......

[linkman8]

My fondest memories of ALTTP were traversing the Dark World. The music was great, and there were loads of monsters to fight. I haven't played it in a while, but that's one of the things I remember.

[zeypherlink]

My best memories would have to be traveling around Hyrule. Its one of the few Zelda games that allows you to travel through most of the overworld without getting a special weapon or in the case of TP, "unlocking" parts of Hyrule.

[Onilink89]

mine would be, everything about the game i suppose.
but what i will never forget is, the pegasus shoes.
running around hyrule with no reason and i actually had fun with it.

That too, lol. The whole game was great.
I always used the Pegasus Boots too :) Especially when going up stairs (specifically at Death Mountain) I would use them.

Now when I play it, I have this routiene that I go through before the first dungeon...like getting all the possible Heart Pieces.

[Mehplep]

Mine would be the same as Linkmans, first time you got to Dark World. Or, not first time, but you uderstand... I had beaten all three dungeons, beaten that darn Moldorm, got through whole Hyrule Castle, beaten Aghamin, and... uh... oh snap. Suddenly the game went from being pretty small to HUGE.

[bob]

The part I like best is when at the end it shows link geting the triforce and what happen to all the people.

[twilightprince55]

the bosses were the best man, the dungeons were fun too:clap:, though i hated the turtle rock dungeon:mad:

[Hungarian Link]

I think the easiest dungeon in the Dark World is the Misery Mire. I could make it without dying at first time. And the hardest is the Palace of Darkness and Skull Woods.

[Avenged]

Stay on topic, we're not talking about the easiest and hardest dungeons.

My best memory(ies) would be....

- Obtaining the Master Sword
- First visiting Kakariko Village
- First hearing the Dark World theme
- Hyrule Castle

[Mike Pothier]

Just one memory?

When you first leave your house and its raining. Awesome atmosphere.
When you first pull out the Master Sword.
The first time you cross over into the Dark World, and you realize "Damn, I have a whole new world to explore!"
Also the ending, when sad song during the ending credits.

[Autydi]

The Light world is my better memory because the dungeons available in the Light world have more impressions in my mind then the ones in the Dark world. The last dungeon in the Light world you go to before fighting Agahnim is one of the best dungeons in the game I would say.

[linkman8]

The Light World dungeons were definitely better than those of the Dark World, but I just liked the music and amount of enemies in the Dark World. :)

No way! Turtle Rock and Ganon's Tower was by far the best. The Light World dungeons seemed very short, good..but short. When it comes to dungeons...I need tons of good puzzles, plenty of hard enemies, lots of rooms and floors, etc. That way it is also more rewarding when you finish the dungeon. Easy dungeons just doesnt float my boat.

Yea I see where you are coming from but being the first Zelda I ever played I didn't always finish it everytime I played it so the Light World has more of an impression on my mind. The Dark World was good and all but I just like the Light World better for some reason. The Dungeon I mentioned in my last post is one of my favorite dungeons of all time.

[Mases]

The first time stepping into the Dark World after defeating Aghanim the first time is probably the biggest memory of mine. The entire Dark World was just awesome. The first time through, heck I was in the Dark World for months trying to beat various portions that I got stuck in.

The Dark Palace is one of the dungeons I remember vividly playing when I was younger. Playing it now, it is so simple but back then I remember it being hard as heck.

Perhaps one of general things I remember very much is.... getting stuck. I got stuck so often in the game at almost any part you can think of. In Skull Woods I remember being stuck on how exactly to enter the end portion of the dungeon... stupid fire rod. I VERY vividly remember in Turtle Rock the puzzle where you had to ride around on the platform and use the fire rod to light up the torches. Now that was HARD at the time. Remember getting angry since I kept running out of magic. That dungeon seemed scary playing it the first time through.

All this makes me wish I can go back and play LTTP back then once again. Sure I can play it now and it still has that nostalgic feel... but it is just easy for me now. Either way, LTTP will always hold a special place in my heart.

[Deku Lord]

Most of my vivid memories rest with ALttP, but when I was much younger than I am now, OoT was the only Zelda game I knew. I remember the field day I had trying to get Biggoron's sword, and the feeling I had once I finally beat that accursed trading sequence.

As for ALttP, I had so much trouble with that game that I put it down for many, many years, finally picking it up last year and destroying it. That was awesome. Turtle Rock was a breeze for me though, I got through that sucker no sweat, so I suppose it's hard for my to relate to those that had a hard time with it.

As much as I could rave about ALttP, my most vivid Zelda memory is, and probably always will be, finding the Chris Houlihan room. Man, that was an awesome feeling. That, coupled with the pure awesome of ALttP, have made the game a very large staple in my memory that will no doubt last for years to come.

[Fierce_Deity]

Meh, I was never a big ALttP fan. I can't figure out why it's so overrated, but I guess that's my own fault. ALttP festered in its own neglect while I was young and enjoying Link's Awakening, OoT, and MM. Therefore, I have very little nostalgic recollections of ALttP moments. The one time, about three years ago, when I got my act together and played all the way through AlttP, my thought afterwards were this: Odd, unfavorable graphics (Pink haired Link?!), redundant music (Not a lick of variety in dungeon music, the overworld theme played EVERYWHERE except in dungeons and some houses), and choppy gameplay. I replayed the game roughly a month ago and I still had a hard time taking it seriously. I guess ALttP was just ruined for me.

[PrinceofDarkness]

The first time I got the master sword I was pysched and thought I was invincible, little did I know there were 2 upgrades for it! The boss battles are where I have some of my fondest memories of the game especially blind, he always took me several tries to beat, at first I wasn't sure what to do because he kept growing new heads and I thought I was doing something wrong. Dungeon six was tough too, the eyes were annoying. I loved the 3 headed rock dragon in dungeon seven. That boss was so cool. And just when you think it's over the fights only just beginning. then I remember beating Aghanim the second time and thinking I had beat the game only to see that I still had one fight to go, the toughest one of all. I also loved trying to access places and do things before I was supposed to. One of the first things I did my second go around was venture to dungeon 4 second because I hated waiting so long to get the necessary super mitt and I did dungeon 5 3rd so I could get the blue mail and make dungeons 2 and 3 cake. A link to the past is awesome because it's such a big game and there are so many areas to explore and items to find. My homie didn't even know about the final sword upgrade until I told him a few years back. It's truly a classic game.

You have to remember what videogames were like when this came out it sounds like your expectations seem to be a bit too high. And the music does change depending on where you go. Granted the overworld theme does play a good chunk of the time but this isn't any diff. from any other zelda title and it's just done so well. there's just so much improvement over the nes LoZ. And I think link's hair is supposed to be red, least it's always looked red to me.

[Fierce_Deity]

Well, after playing LA, OoT, and MM, how could my expectations be anywhere but high? ALttP was ruined for me. That's all there is to it.

[Jirrup]

My fondest memories are surely the dead Uncle rain scene, getting the Master Sword, and the epilogue. That had such epic music.

[Mases]

also the first time going under the bridge.

Ya, this brings up an entirely different 'memory' grouping for me. The first few times playing through the game, I was missing out on so much. Not collecting all the items, missing plenty of secrets, not getting all the heart pieces, etc...

However, years later I too discovered the man under the bridge and got the bottle. It was really exciting whenever I found these extra secrets that I never knew before. Years after I beat the game I realized you can toss the tempered sword into the fountain and get the golden sword, that was really awesome. Heck, just a year ago I discovered there was a 'good bee' in addition to just a 'bee'. That was really shocking, since I thought I had discovered everything in the game, but I must have missed that somehow over the years.

My fondest memories are surely the dead Uncle rain scene, getting the Master Sword, and the epilogue. That had such epic music.

Getting the Master Sword was always a big event and a huge memory of mine. Whenever I was playing with one of my brothers or my friends and we go to this point. I'd always jack up the volume really high, just added to the epic nature of this scene.

[zeypherlink]

All of you shuddap!!!!!11

I think he's reffering to "underworld" as a dungeon, you know? Like in the LoZ manual it says overworld and underworld enemies...underworl being the dungeons.

[Deku Lord]

Well, running with that new clarity, the first time I played ALttP I couldn't even find the basement in the light world. >_> I remember being extremely frustrated with that. Now that I think about it, there were several reasons I got frustrated with the game.

[Reoko]

mine has been on 3 moments of the greatest zelda moments for me:

1: my first arrival of the dark world on lttp. the music, the enemies, the settings were the most awsome place in zelda EVER! I always LOVE going
in the dark world. I'll love going to the village of outcasts and looking at everything! It was awsome.

2: When I was first playing lttp, I noticed that at the left bootom section
of the dark world was unaccesable untell later of the game. There was something about that place I loved about it. And when I got in, it was a pure, dark, dirty murky swamp of awsomeness. it was raining, dark and dangerous, but I loved that place. I just loved every single thing about it.
it was so sweet, I coulden't get out of it. but when I had to open to get to the misery mire dungen, I made the rain stop. And that just took half of the awsomeness out of it. But to this day, I still love it.

3: In MM, at the end part of the game, when the mask shows that its been controlling the skull kid all along, I was like "holy crud... Didn't see that one coming..." That really got me going.:lol:

[Mases]

As I listen to a remixed version of the Link to the Past ending music, it only makes me think of the ending of the game. I love how it went and showed all the minor characters in Hyrule all while playing that absolutely awesome music. The credits music was also great.

One of the places that I was sadly stuck on... west getting to the west side of the Dark World. I really had no idea how to do it. After beating the Dark Palace and getting the Hammer, you were able to reach the southern portion of Hyrule and the second crystal stage. I wanted to explore the entire land of the Dark World and I didn't know you could use the hammer in the Light World, just north of Kakariko Village to find a secret portal. Eventually I beat the second crystal and was still stuck on how to get to the west. Eventually I found the area in the northeast portion where the wooden bridge was broken. You can hookshot across. I remember when I first got a across I was so relieved and excited. Just went dashing around with the Pegasus boots. Good times.

[dark_link01]

Mine was just traveling around and hearing the overworld map music, and that noise it makes when you were caught by one of the guards.

[linkman8]

I can also remember the first time I ever played ALTTP and I remember swinging my sword and thinking, "He sounds a lot like OOT Link when he swings his sword". (Remember I'd played OOT before ALTTP)

[InsaneRoy]

The dark world because it was so scary .__.

[Alder Dragon]

For some reason, I've always loved when you meet the flute boy and recieve the flute. That part just always got to me.

[Malinko]

My best memory was playing it with my mom. I remember being 5 and we would get so into the game and then get pissed when we couldn't figure something out. Beating Ganon was great. We were crazy about that game...now all of these years later, still have it, still play it.

[Linkhugger]

I only just got it to play on on my computer D:

It is really fun though - the older ones have to be the best.

My favourite bit so far though has to be the random jokes in it, like "Ignore the middle ages man standing here" near the entrance to the desert. I found that funny xD

I like recognising the music to. I'm really happy that the same themes have continued through the series.

[Keaton]

I remember best those MEAN women in Kakariko Village who accuses me of something, calls for security and runs into their house. I was like "No, I'm nice! come back ;_;"

The second best memory is the third crystal temple, the one in Lost Woods. When I was a kiddio, I never actually played the game, I watched my sister and brother playing it and also the neighbour kid. I actually had everything memorized up until that temple, so when I eventually started playing it for the first time, I knew everything I had to do. I didn't even know English back then, as I was around 7 or so. But yeah, I didn't know what to do after that so I was completely on my own and it was horrible and I hated that temple. The stupid ceiling hands didn't make it any easier either.

I also remember that maid who turned into a vicious cat. wah. That fear still lingers with me actually. I'm afraid my dates will turn into fire-puking cat heads floating in mid-air if I expose them to light. It's a wonder I'm still heterosexual.

[Bluelink6]

My favourite memory was the first time I beat palace of the four sword, I liked the music and the characters.

[Morningstar]

So Linkhugger, you finally got around to playing the game I gave you, but have you now finished the others I gave you?

My best memory is playing it with a friend, and not reading the story properly so we didn't know where to go or what to go. And we were renting the game and console so we didn't have a manual.

The boy that kept disappearing is someone I never seem to forget.

[chrisbg99]

When I first played ALttP the rain at the very beginning was incredible. I had never seen something so atmospheric in a game before.

[Skull_Kid]

i just love everything about that game...it was the first Zelda i played...me and a friend of mine use to sneak in his older brother's room while he was at the university to play it all the time:)

[Daka TutHut]

When I 1st played, I was young and I sucked. I remember finally beating the wizard, and thinking I had beaten the whole game. (Well I had gotten everything on map right?)

...Wrong!

I about had a fit when I realized there was 7 more things to find.

This game was the biggest, most epic Zelda of the series. I would like to see a 3D translation.

[Dampe]

Best has to be the ending, killing Ganon was win.
