A Link to the Past Project

Presentation

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a remake of the cult classic Super Nintendo (SNES) game, first released in 1991 (1992 in Europe) and later found on Game Boy Advance in 2002, along with The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, a multiplayer game.

The Triforce and the Sacred Realm

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past will be re-released many times on various Nintendo consoles in the future and will also receive a tribute game on the Nintendo 3DS called The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which will revisit the gameplay ideas, the journey between two worlds, in an original story!

The Tower of Hera

With a few differences (mainly due to the modernity of the Solarus Engine and the PC system), the game will closely resemble the original discovered on the SNES.
