This was one of the first games i played for the snes. It also brings back memories when my friends and i were excited when we had this game on the nintendo. Which is very weird now that we stayed up all night playing it trying to get further. But i even thought the graphics were good back then when i played it, well i was not that old either. It was in the late 90s when it came out. Anyways it has good graphics for the snes and a good story. The story is like the older zelda games, do this first, beat it, then you get this.....Yes but it never gets old. As you beat the first part which is the castle, you have to find the villige elder and then he tells you to collect each of the four pendents as you go on, after you collect all of them, you can recieve the mighty MASTER SWORD!!! whoooo! now lets get some hearts. Soon you will be able to get to places that you haven't been able to access before because each castle you beat, you get a new weapon or tool to use to beat the next part. One of those wonderful tools is the magic mirror that trasports you from the light world that you are at to the dark world. Which is pretty much the same as the light world but evil has taken over and it looks all destroyed and forsaken. Now this is where you free the princesses and retrieve the crystals. As soon as you get all of them you can battle gannon which is the hardest part and battle of the game then you will rescue the last but not least loved zelda. That is pretty much the story line with the main parts and battles. Each castle has a different boss in each world and it gets harder. Remember to go back and forth between both worlds to collect and get items you couldent recieve before. Very good but VERY hard game. I would get it considering that it is the only zelda game on the snes, which makes me wonder why? All other nintendo's have a sequal to each zelda becides this. It would have been a great game though. Hell, the gamecube even has five zelda games. So be happy with this one because it is a great classic and the last zelda that has a (top view) feature unstead of in third person that you will find in the newer ones. Very hard but very good game.
