A Link to the Past is my first Zelda game also my top favorite Zelda game. A Link to the Past had the best graphics I ever seen and the best dungeons I ever played. The creators stay true to their fans button smashing and directional smashing like the first and second Zelda games, but the future games of Zelda will change to a crappy stylus touch. A Link to the Past had many video game awards including  Top 100 Video Games of All Time. A Link to the Past is better than Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. If you prefer old school controls than stylus touch, this is the one to buy.
