Developer: Nintendo EAD Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Super Nintendo Release: April 13, 1992
Summary
Link sets out on a quest to save the realm and the princess from a dark wizard. The game features Light and Dark Worlds, which sort of blew minds back in the day. Established the traditional Zelda formula of collecting sacred objects, powering up the Master Sword, and defeating evil.
Acquisition
I snagged this copy at a Cybertron games in early 2020. My Super Nt was on the way, scheduled to be delivered the following day. I had to get a copy of this one for the console.
Memories
One of my earliest memories of this game would be the Game Boy Advance version and borrowing my neighbor Ryan's copy. I got stuck early on somewhere, maybe after the first dungeon. I have more of a tie to this particular iteration of Hyrule through The Legend of Zelda - A Link Between Worlds.
As for the SNES version itself, the copy I bought had a glorious save file on it with the names GRAMPS and FARTTR. I have preserved their runs for all of time. You can download them above.
