Johnny vs. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
- Time to journey back to the Super Nintendo with the next game in the Zelda Marathon. A Link to the Past, similar to games like Super Mario World, introduced more than just a graphical update. It's considered to be one of the best Zelda games in the franchise, and whether or not that still holds up today is what we're going to find out. Time hasn't been too kind to Zelda 1 or Zelda 2, but will things look up from here on?

Link's epic rivals:
Ganon, the classic, overpowered hog.
Majora, the demon
The MOON, The Moon
Dark Link, the shadow
Jerry, the Jerry.
Articuno Forever but isn't Jerry just Ganon in disguise?
***** No. Jerry is Jerry. No more, no less...
***** That's what Johnny called Agahnim since he didn't know how to properly pronounce the name.
Heath Wilson AH-GAH-NIM
Articuno Forever
I knew that. Johnny's the one who didn't.
Been going from video to video of yours... subscribed. Really good reviews.
the irony. i got a ad at 7:23 about relaxing and meditating and then after i skipped it i get johnny cursing and getting frustrated 😂
D E M O N I T I S A T I O N I S B U L L S H I T
And do you see the 6F at the top right of the screen? Instead of being the acronym of "Sixth Floor" it should the times that Johnny said the "f" word, XD.
Johnny literally makes the best reviews/videos for games. Just everything you want to know all in one
Anthony23Riv except Donkey Kong Country, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Banjo Kazooie
Batmanbeyond 9000 He didn't review those games yet.
William White i know i am saying he should make them
He is the most concise reviewer with the least amount of Bull shit i've ever seen on TH-cam. That used to be the completionist, but sadly, he blew it hard with the constant padding of bad skits/jokes
@@1cioda In what world was the completionist not cringe?
"MY HAIR IS PINK AND I'M NOT WEARING ANY PANTS"

Has anyone else noticed most franchises made by nintendo had fantastic 3rd games?, A link to the past, Mario 3, Super Metroid,etc.
sonic 3& knucles ,megaman 3
Christian Rc Those weren't made by nintendo, but good point nonetheless
Mother 3?
+TheBazerckerz yeah definitely
lol earthbound was so much better
that moment when you realize this was made in 2013
Such a link to the past.
when you realize that you're watching this video and reading these comments in 2018
Wonder which Zelda game he was talking about
It’s 2019 now 😫
Nyare Williams it’s 2020 now 😶
Even as a child I figured out that there's no timeline!
I knew that each game must be a re-telling of "The Legend of Zelda".
Sorry your wrong but not for the reasons you may think besides Zelda 2 is a direct sequel
Of course you might be right, but that's what I thought _as a kid_. I thought that the links, zeldas and ganons in every Zelda couldn't be the exact same person. I didn't know to think about recurring incarnations and parallel timelines back then. :D
Moshugaani but that timeline was probably when OOT was developed. all we had was LTTP AST- LOZ - ZII: AOL so before OOT the Zelda series was on the "Downfall" timeline which I suspect was Miyamoto's "original" timeline Link dying from fighting with Ganon was just a good "measure"
sealing war - LTTP- BS Zelda: AST - LOZ - Zelda II: AOL was timeline 0, Ocarina of Time was "chronologically" first game... but it might have been a "child" "adult" time line. originally or an alternate universe.
I just say _fuck the timeline,_ and treat each game as its own separate entity
I was confused by the Zelda timeline, but not because of the Multiverse elements (which I don't find confusing). It was the fact there were two timelines after link wins in OOT.
I now perfectly understand and comprehend the Zelda timeline.
The seven sages used the power of Facebook to seal the deal.
One thing I love about this game is using the Net to capture a bee in a Bottle. Later I release it so it attacks all enemies on screen. There is also a White Bee, which is unique and only appears once in an ice cave.
14:38 - 14:46 I can’t get enough of it.
Love this dude’s videos, been watching for about 6 years now.
Nearly 10 myself. Came in for his sonic 06 review. And he's become my fav videogame reviewer because of it. As well as being my entry point to a fuck ton of other channels i love, like SGB, BSC, AntDude, GameXplain,
A link to the past is the perfect example of why 16 bit graphics are so timeless
Yeah the game still looks beautiful.
16 bit ages better than 64 bit
I recently started watching these videos, and something i've started to notice is, almost every time Johnny says anything about and enemy being easy to beat or to dodge, it shows a clip of him getting hit. i just find that funny.
This review must be why I keep wanting to call the red hooded guy Jerry 😅
7:27 its not often that i like using restore points on the virtual console but they're a god send for this fight
+1
"The era of DINNER."
This was the Zelda game I first played and grew up with as a little kid. I remember watching my older brother and my aunt play through the whole game, and I just learned everything from them.
Okay, I need to ask. When people first saw Agahnim, did they see his crown/circlet as his actual face, the the ruby in the center being his open mouth and the top of his robe was actually green hair that was shadowing his eyes? The actual eyes were just the shadows around his neck to me.
That's definitely how I saw him, lol. Till this day, it's hard not to see him that way.
I remember getting this when I was 12 and not using a strategy guide...I was lost for nights on end on how to advance once I got hook shot. Blindly throwing it to cross to the other side of the Dark World that I couldn't access before still ranks as one of the most satisfying moments of my gaming life.
Your reviews are awesome man
“After you pull the master sword, jerry teleports Princess Zelda into the Dark World”
WTF JERRY?! Not cool! A man’s garage is his castle! (Sorry, I had to. It’s the first thing I think of when I hear “Jerry”)
7:51 "You caught a faerie!"
Ive been watching alot of these videos and i have to say im really enjoying them, i don't really play alot of older zelda games ( i know shame on me ) but the way you review them always makes me interested. Keep up the good quality :D
Hhahah! Using the net instead of the master sword at 9:11 to deflect Gannon's attacks....looks like the master sword wasn't needed after all!
*Jerry’s attack
The thing that has always struck me is how beautiful this game looks.
THAT'S how I love my games. Freedom of exploration BUT with the MAIN goal clearly shown in case I have less time to play or I just want to progress in the story. ALttP onwards do that perfectly. Zelda 1 and Metroid before Fusion/Prime...I'd rather stay away from those.
Okay, this game is my favorite Nintendo game, no joke. I still choke up at the end theme. And once upon a time, that very last scene before the credits meant something, goddammit.
thats so wierd while watching this vid there was an ad for a link between worlds
He forgot to mention that in the GBA port you can't use the cane of somaria trick in the ice palace.
Johnny may have forgot to mention that fact, but I know what you're talking about. The GBA port had two rooms in the Ice Palace changed so players wouldn't have to run that loop just to get a block down to a lower floor to push onto the switch. That was a relief for me.
Staff of somaria
that Japanese commercial always makes me think of Michel Jackson
It is kind of like Thriller.
I was an 80s kid and grew up with the nes, and surprisingly going back and picking up retro games I've found that I played most of the nes library thanks to places like superstar, Hollywood and mr video. After the nes I moved onto the master system, then sega Genesis and stuck with sony ever since. The Wii U reintroduced me to Nintendo and now I have been picking up most of their systems andgames that I missed, thanks to some awesome retro game stores in my area. My stepbrother had an snes when it released but I largely ignored it. I've been playing the snes for the past month and I have to admit that I missed out on a lot. The legend of Zelda is still my favorite in the franchise probably because of nostalgia but getting an snes in 2017 and playing through its library for the first time takes me back to the 90s. I was going to buy a one x but decided on an snes and nes instead. You never can go wrong with the originals.
Best Zelda ever created in my opinion!
While I Respect Your Opinion My Favorite is Majora's Mask
*Most overrated.
Thats OOT
Yes!!
OoT is the most overrated
It's 2017 and this game still kicks butt
0:25 Almost sounds like you said a "Lint" to the past there.
Johnny, several of your reviews and LPs make me want to play a game you have discussed. You got me interested in the Castlevania series (the old school ones anyway), helped me realize that Sonic 06 is a "So Bad, It's Good" game, and made me want to play A Link to the Past.
... How am I JUST now finding out about this guy?
He's a very underrated reviewer
I find this game, while still good, actually didn't age entirely gracefully. Compared to later Zelda games - which have a clearer idea on whether they want to be a linear story (Twilight Princess) or a wide-open adventure (Breath of the Wild) - A Link to the Past tries to blend a linear story with open game design, but ends up not putting _quite enough_ focus on either side.
Hence why I feel it's _clearly_ outdone by some later games - very specifically and directly so by A Link Between Worlds.
Didnt age gracefully? Are you kidding??? Its from 1992, tell me one single game that has aged better than this.
Ocarina of time for example has aged awfully bad compared to this. This feels nice to play still today, and the graphics still look nice aswell even though the resolution is something like 640x480, which is an incredible feat
@@nixxxon18 It's simply the game's structure that is a halfway compromise between linearity and openness. They didn't know yet how to fully embrace either side - simply because A Link to the Past isn't the _culmination_ of Zelda design, it's the _foundation_ for it. I see it in the same light as Super Mario 64 - an immensely important game that set the ground rules for ages to come, but _absolutely naturally and expectedly_ didn't perfect its craft yet and has been outdone since.
@@AniGaAG being more or less open or more or less linear is not that important to determine how good a game is. And as you said it is somewhere in between, I think its perfect as it is. It is neither too simple not too complicated, I think it IS the culmination of zelda core design, most modern zeldas are based on it, just with different variations
@@nixxxon18 I mean, if that's your onion, that it's perfect as is, that's fine. I simply disagree with you, no problem with that. :o
Like here? 7:23
Easily my favorite Zelda game to this day.
Your videos just keep getting better and better, Johnny. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for all you do for us!
Link to the Past is Easily my Favorite Zelda game of all time.
Not so much, but it was a good game. I'm assuming your talking about A link between worlds?
Guess what; mine's *Spirit Tracks*. :-)
+Mario_MarioPlushGUY to me it's at the bottom of the list, the dodging mechanics are bad and the bosses are frustrating, although the dungeons are good.
Mario_MarioPlushGUY that and wind waker and a link between worlds
I agree. I'm not even a big Zelda fan at all but I love Lttp.
Agahnim is pronounced a-gah-nim. It's said like it's spelt, it's just an odd name.
THANK YOU! I just don't understand why this is SO hard for some people. I think in recent years our general comprehension of language has gotten embarrassingly low. People see more than four letters in a row and say "Fuk dis! Reeding iz teh GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111ONEONEONE" It's just not good. The rest of the world laughs at us for not being able to read and speak our own language. That's just sad.
Meh, just call him a Jerry
Should have given that wizard an easier name to pronounce. I wasn't sure how it was done until I saw something here on TH-cam. Not gonna say what.
Actually, it can also be pronounced AH-ga-nim. But I can agree that it’s such a weird name lol
Guys, if you can pronounce Tchaikovsky and Dostoevsky, Agahnim isn't that hard. Like, you've watched Aladdin, right? It's not that different from Agrabah.
“Considering how crowded it was”
Man I wish that were the 2021 mood
Link's sprite in this game was always an eyesore to me.
The short sage is Saria [??]
Drinking game: Take a shot every time Johnny says "itself," "herself," or "himself" in this review.
So, about the same thing as taking a shot whenever someone says "the".
TallManVanitas nowhere near as bad as the Completionist with "actually", especially in earlier episodes. "But there's actually more, if you actually manage to beat the secret boss, you actually get a weapon that can actually kill every enemy in one hit. I really like this and I actually think it's one of the coolest weapons".
Sean Cone Actually?
Okay, when the chicken's came at him, I died laughing!
Your videos are great! I've been obsessively replaying ALttP and I've been watching all kinds of Zelda related videos. Keep up the good work!
8:28 he sounds drunk
😂😂
14:37 The reason this video is in my favourites
This is 2018 and your content is still great
This is 11 years old and ive never come across any of your videos. Wtf yt? This is my fav game of all time especially because of the nostalgia, but i just played Super Metroid a few years ago and that is totally #2 best Snes games, regardless of the nostalgia factor. So, in short, good is good, and this game is good af. I have been playing the randomizer for years, it never gets old with rando. Especially crosskeys format.
I'm here from the distant Future of 2016!
To tell you this game is STILL the best Zelda game ever made, period!
I also come from 2016!
To tell you that Twilight Princess is STILL better!
Majora's Mask, bruh.
the anniversary of sonic... is it good
Wind Waker
DooM 2016
Jerry The EVIL Sorcerer... (it sounds lame and that is why im making this joke)
I love this game and playing a link between worlds just makes me love the series even more
A Link to the Past was my favourite Legend of Zelda game of all time until A Link Between Worlds was release. This game will always have a special nostalgic feel for me as it was the first Legend of Zelda game I ever played.
Jerry. Make it cannon.
lmao atack of the chickens XD
It's been so long since I've played this master piece. After watching this now I want to play it again.
12:11 THANK YOU!!! I just played this game on the switch online and that room SUCKS!!! 😡😡😡
That being said, this game is great. I’d love to see it get a full, modern remake similar to what they’re doing with Links Awakening. The games aged a bit in certain aspects, but with some modern touch ups it could be spectacular
Damn. I need to start playing ALttP again
Ah, A Link to the Past! This is where the Zelda franchise got good since the last two console games were SO bad!
And now I shall proudly be killed by everyone! Thank you and good night! :D
pokeplayerHQ *Sharpens knife* I ... kinda agree with you *starts chopping carrots*
pokeplayerHQ eh there ok at beast
They were good for its time besides the second one. They can not compare to a link to the past.
Phantom Sly fav. Zelda game?
pokeplayerHQ LttP and Link Between Worlds are the two best Zelda games ever. I got Ocarina in 1998 and it never grabbed me... For me, OoT will always be overrated.
I remember renting this game when i was a kid cuz none of my friends had n i couldn't afford to buy it. I played it a lot but never got enough time with it in my hands to beat it... I revived my SNES and i was looking for games to buy and thank god, this game came to mind quickly so it will be in my first batch of cartridges to purchase that i still don't own ^^
7:23
Beatrice be like: PUCK PUCK PUCK PUCK
Well, the GBA's swordswing noises were ripped straight out of Ocarina of Time.
Doesn't stop it from being annoying
Kind of a weird sound to substitute in
The game design in this game is SOOO GOOD! The dungeons are brilliant, and don't go on for too long like Twilight Princess' do, the overworld was SO well crafted, there was so much to do, the music was bad-ass, the items are brilliant, the bosses were epic, the NPCs were alive, and there's SOO many little things put into this game that just make it that much better... So why is it that I have such a hard time liking this game?!
The chicken part was the best. I'm still laughing.
First review I've seen from this guy and already subscribing...
14:39 - Whats the deal with the chicken?
Uru19861 oh, well you see ever since this game Nintendo decided to pull a little prank and make it so that if you attack a chicken (named "Cuckoo" in the Zelda Universe) for too long then it will summon an army and HUNT YOU DOWN. so..don't hurt the poultry.

Alexander Potec Wonder what happens with Hyrule's butchers...
Alexander Potec Wonder what happens with Hyrule's butchers...
Wyatt James good question...i guess everyone's meat comes from Lon Lon Ranch's cattle.
Anyone here because of the new snes emulator on switch?
7.19 mark. Just hold sword out in charge up mode and guy will walk into it, you'll bounce back but not off the edge. Easiest boss ever
If you have no bombs and have the Pegasus boots, you can run into the cracked walls and open that way.
I could never get far into this game, it's just not interesting to me. I think the biggest factor for this game is the nostalgia, I played later 2D Zelda games before this one, so it's just kinda redundant and somewhat inferior to games like Minish Cap. I'm guessing if you play the games that improved on this formula, you'll just be bored with the original or maybe it's just me.
You should give it another chance: it has the most dungeons, tons of items, and is pretty balanced in terms of difficulty. Just try going in with an open mind. :)
I actually hate this game.
Agreed, it's not just that interesting. I prefer TMC.
OMGG GGG ALttP was the very first Zelda game I ever played, it practically started the Zelda formula and set up the backstory of Ganon the Sacred Realm/Golden Land and the Master sword which future Zelda games added on. No one can deny its influence regardless of their personal opinions of it.
me too. i never got farther then the 2nd duengeon. it was boring to ME. i can defenitly see why people like this game
I think link to the past is incredibly overrated, it can be really boring for me and I just can not understand why it's so many people's favorite when there are so many better games in the series
because you were alone in the adventure, you discover things on your own, and from being an child to be the hyrule heroe felt so good. This is my favorate zelda game because it had no bullshit fairy telling you what to do. You could choose what dungeon to do in diferent order, it got an kickass music, and most important the gameplay is a masterpiece.Dont get me wrong, other zelda games are cool, but dont age well as A link to the past does.
Ding dong your opinion is wrong
TheNerdyGinger
Preference
TheNerdyGinger I dont like it so its overrated...
TheNerdyGinger FINALLY someone else who thinks this game is overrated
Okay...that commercial at the end looked as if the game and the Thriller had a baby. Other than that awesome review, looking foreword to more!
This was dope. Best review on this game. You even know about the fire sword. And did you catch one of Jerry's power balls with a net?
This game is such a Binding of Isaac ripoff it's not even funny.
this was made in 1991 and binding of Isaac much later so which actually is the ripoff
Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8/8
Should I take this comment seriously?
KidSnivy69 i wish this is a troll
Aw hell naw, you're kidding. You're being sarcastic, no doubt about it.
Took me years to figure out how to expand the bomb and arrow capacities. Turns out the "Pond of Happiness" can allow for those expansions, at the cost of 100 Rupees a pop. Max you can go for is 50 bombs and 70 arrows.
that game was so great. packed with full of stuff and hidden areas to explore. it was not too easy, not too hard and the time shifting part has never been there before in a video game if i'm right. it left the first two zelda games in the dust and set standards til today.
Damn the SNES was sure a kick ass console. Super Mario world/all stars, link to the past, super metroid, donkey kong country, super Mario RPG, final fantasy VI, mega man x, castlevania 4, one of the finest console libraries
I hope that was a Cave Johnson homage I just heard at 13:42. If so.. totally awesome!
My personal favorite moment is when I use the Cape Item during the first half of my fight with Ganon because he can't do SH*T to me, and its great... Much like going Super Sonic during the Boss Fight of Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic 2...
I have an special place in my heart for this game because it was the game that got me hooked into the Zelda series. After over 25 years, I still think this game holds up pretty well. I love this game.
Wow, this is 8 years old now...
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is an awesome game & I am very proud to have it in my Super Nintendo collection, along with Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country (I only have the 1st 1 right now), Super Metroid & many other great 16-bit gems.
I have the gba version and had a friend that had it, too, so we did beat the Four Swords to get the bonus stuff in the main game. The Hurricane Spin side-quest is easy but long, especially trying to find a red ruppee drop, and the bonus dungeon at the end is fairly challenging. I say fairly because the mini-bosses are just 4 bosses you face earlier in the game with no real differences but the dungeon boss is a challenge. I can beat the game 100% including the bonus content in a little over 8 hours. And the best part is being able to restart the game without deleting the save file once you've beaten Ganon.
While I can’t call this my favorite Zelda game, I still consider it good and can definitely see why other people love it so much.
14:38 Made me jump and lol at the same time xD
I actually love the Ice Temple. I have fond memories of it somehow!
Imagine either a 3D Classics of ALTTP, or an ALTTP 3DS remake using the graphics and physics engine of ALBW
My head cannon is that the sages in the intro are the sages from oot. So the sitting one is actually saria.
I was just thinking about that the other day ahaha.
Nice video. I'm glad you continued to make reviews and whatnot after all of these years. It's all great stuff. 0:53 Oh my goodness you have that old Seagate hard drive from 2009!
i think the "future timeline" that leads into windwaker is where the timeline officially split majora's mask is the linear timeline
Currently playing this as my first Zelda game. I'm loving it right now but yeah, fuck the ice palace lol
Haha your review made me laugh many times I've played this game many times but I had to sit through it just to hear your commentary haha
i was not ready for today specifically that commercial (japan when i think you can't surprise me anymore you still manage to do so)
I remember watching and waiting for his next episodes for his original Zelda marathon. I am surprised it was 8 years ago.
Old school gems deserve their time in the spotlight and deserve extensive reviews.
Good stuff.
This game was really one of my favorite Zelda games. Neither the secrets there was little or no clue to from the NES, nor the nagging and (especially later on) hand-holding exposition fairies of later games. Bombable walls were (usually) cracked, you got subtle hints on where to go, each dungeon had one general tip that was useful much of the way, but not much you could figure out on your own. And this Link is way stronger, in the hands of the same player, than the NES one, and he faces awesome baddies to match. If you did have to seek out secrets, you'd survive a lot longer. And did you hear that music?!? I might even start calling stuff "the greatest thing since cracked walls"!
Nice work, man! One of my favorite games of my youth.
