Game Review: ゼルダの伝説：神々のトライフォース
2016-Sep-25, Sunday 15:02
This is my favorite Legend of Zelda game.
I think.
I know everyone thinks that Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game and that it keeps winning polls as the best game of all time--with the notably infamous exception of last year at GameFAQs--but A Link to the Past has always been the game I went back to. My doubt is because of Wind Waker, but I won't be getting to that game for a while, so Link to the Past stands for the moment.
I never played it except briefly at friends' houses before emulation revealed the wonders of everything I missed by being a PC gamer, but I still got Nintendo Power through most of the Super Nintendo and part of the N64 era, and what I remember are the comics. Nintendo power serialized a comic based on A Link to the Past. Very loosely based--the constant vision, wings to fly into the desert, and balloon to get into Hyrule Castle had nothing to do with the game--but the game I imagined based on them was amazing. I still remember the story the tree tells Link about Ganondorf and the corruption of the Golden Land.
The Japanese title is kamigami no toraifōsu, "Triforce of the Gods." Or the goddesses, I suppose, but that hadn't been established at this point.
Adventure awaits.

"Until then, I remain a fool in the shape of a tree."Fortunately, though the game I eventually played was different, it was still excellent.
