The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a video game first released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It was developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo and was the first and only game in the Zelda series to be released for the SNES.

Between December 1, 1997-May 29, 2000, the game was also broadcast exclusively to Japan with the now discontinued Satellaview service.

The game was later re-released as part of the Game Boy Advance game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords and ported to the Wii's Virtual Console in 2006.

Blurb

"Venture back to Hyrule and an age of magic and heroes. The predecessors of Link and Zelda face monsters on the march when a menacing magician takes over the kingdom. Only you can prevent his evil plot from shattering the land of Hyrule.

In your quest, you'll venture into twisting mazes, dungeons, palaces and shadowy forests. Test your mettle with mighty swords and magical weapons. Or heft a boulder and hurl it at your enemies. If the going gets tough, dive into a river - you can swim to escape! Learn powerful spells, locate magical artifacts and solve the mysteries of the evil magician and the hidden realm of Hyrule.

This exciting Super NES™ sequel to the Legend of Zelda® and The Adventure Of Link® uses 16-bit power to create a quest so colorful and detailed you don't just play it, you live it!"
