The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past is a single player, overhead, RPG game and remains to this day part of one of the most successful RPG series ever. It's certainty a great game with an elaborate plot and entertaining gameplay.
Summary: What pulls you in initially in Zelda is it's superior plot. Despite its rudimentary graphics, something about the plot (perhaps my own nostalgia) keeps you intrigued. This classic damsel in distress story really does it well.
Being able to walk around and explore the city of Hyrule is a great feature of the game. Entering shops, talking to random city folk, being able to cut down bushes for resources, makes the game more than a simple task seeking RPG. Unlike many RPG's, the tasks that you are determined to execute are not tedious or unnecessary.
The game has an excellent flow. It contains the perfect amount of battles and rewards. Once you complete a level and get a pendant, one would not expect the sincere feeling of relief that comes along.

Summary: In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you play as "Link," a young man in search of his princess who has been cruelly captured by evil men. Locked in the basement of Hyrule Castle, the princess asks you to travel around Hyrule, collecting various pendants and swards in preparation for your fight against the evil Ganon. The game is a one player RPG with overhead perspective.
Gameplay: Overall playing this rather simple, plot driven RPG is highly entertaining and easily withstands the test of time. The plot seems gripping for some reason, despite its relatively primitive presentation. You find yourself intrigued in the feat that lies ahead of you and keeps you playing. Unlike some role playing games, the various and at certain times random tasks you must complete do not seem tedious or drawn out. Upon collecting the various prizes at the end of each level you are excited as you open massive treasure chests for new weapons. The bosses are interesting and frightening in some cases. The characters are interesting and although they are often not very complex what they have to say is often fairly sophisticated. Perhaps partially as a result of my nostalgia for playing this game at a younger age, I still fully enjoyed playing this game and to this day think it is the best of the Zelda continuations.
