[27]***A Link to the Past (LTP throughout) was a ground-breaking game for the Zelda series. Besides being the first Zelda for the SNES, it was the first to have a semi fleshed-out plot. By semi fleshed-out, I mean something more than collect crystals and kill Ganon. Instead, it had a retrieve 3 pendants, collect the 'Master Sword,' kill Agahnim, _then_ collect crystals and [spoiler]kill Ganon (revealed to be Agahnim's alter-ego).[/spoiler]
Despite my sarcasm, I actually enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) this game having beaten it at least 15 times and I still keep coming back for more. The wonderfully engaging plot (mentioned above) actually takes place *before* the first 2 Zeldas, and so is technically a prequel. The game-play departs from the Zelda 2 RPG style, and returns to it's roots as a top-view adventure game with RPG elements. Unlike the first Zelda, communication plays a fairly important role in this installment. There are friendly, non-cavedwelling NPC's that you can, indeed are required, to get information from. Some play an important role, some are there just to annoy the living shnike out of you. Fighting is still basicly the same as in the original, as is the heart and money system. However, the overworld/dungeon system has changed drastically with the addition of an in-game map that actually shows important locations. i.e. Where you are, where you need to go, and enough detail to make getting there possible.***The Zelda Link to the Past [[link:http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/170/ Master Quest]] hack has brand new dungeons, overworlds, music, etc.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening  Nintendo (Nintendo EAD)1993A Game Boy fantasy adventure like no other!

Nintendo's fantasy adventure hero, Link of Hyrule, returns in this new epic quest...Link's Awakening. Link's newest challenge is set on the mysterious Koholint Island, a place where dreams and reality collide. As a castaway, Link must find a way to escape from the island and return to his beloved homeland of Hyrule.

But it won't be as easy as chartering a boat. The island's inhabitants have no knowledge of the outside world. One creature, a talking Owl, may know the solution to Link's dilemma, but first Link must tackle eight dungeons full of treacherous monsters and tricky traps. His goal: find the eight Instruments of the Sirens and awaken the omnipotent Wind Fish which rules the island.

Link will battle new enemies and make new friends in one of the most in-depth fantasy adventure for Game Boy yet!

A battery-packed memory will save up to three games so you never have to start your journey empty-handed.***[b]Version variations[/b]: in the Japanese and most other versions the anthropomorphic hippo model in Animal Village appears to have breasts which she covers up with a towel. In the North American version the sprite was redrawn without breasts or towel. In the North American version the item that the mermaid has lost was also changed from bikini top to necklace.
There are other minor differences, too, see source for details.***[b]Easter eggs[/b]: when entering [i]ZELDA[/i] as the protagonist's name (ぜるだ in the Japanese Version), a version of Zelda's theme starts playing. Another tune is also available in some versions of the game. It is accessed by entering the name とたけけ in the Japanese version, [i]LOLO[/i] in the French version and [i]MOYSE[/i] (the last name of the translator) in the German version. It is not possible to hear this song in the US version.***Link's Awakening was the first game in the Legend of Zelda series that had
* a trade sequence,
* a fishing mini-game,
* individual music for each dungeon.

It was also the first game that took place outside of Hyrule.***

[27]***This is the first Zelda game to feature humans. Though their presence in the Zelda universe was implied in the Manual for Link to the Past.
[Zerothis]***"The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" resembles the feel and control of Zelda III for the SNES. Playing as Link, you must collect all 8 instruments to wake the Wind Fish. There are a variety of items and weapons, and yes, the dungeons are still as challenging as ever!
