It’s not every day a sequel gets announced for one of the greatest games of all time. Luckily for us – yesterday was just such a day. During the latest Nintendo Direct broadcast, the Big N blew our minds open by announcing a true successor to SNES masterpiece The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
What’s more… I actually got to play it.
Set in the same Hyrule as the original ALTTP, the game adeptly straddles the line between lovingly accurate homage and innovative sequel. I’ll get to the new additions momentarily, but it’s worth noting that as someone who’s played Link’s SNES adventure more times than I care to admit, I was still amazed by how similar this new one felt to that original experience. The graphics have been updated, the puzzles are brand new and Link has a few new tricks up his sleeve – but that unmistakable feeling the original game offered is still there in spades, and it’s been sorely missed.
