Johnny vs. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

12 years ago TODAY god bless you Johnny

the first time i completed this game was on the Super Metroid X ALTTP Randomizer. I LOVE Super Metroid and liked ALTTP so it was a fun time. REcommend people try it if they haven't heard of it, it flows rather nicely.

2013....

only Zelda game i can replay without really hesitating

Take a shot every time you hear Johnny say SELF.

This is 11 years old and ive never come across any of your videos. Wtf yt? This is my fav game of all time especially because of the nostalgia, but i just played Super Metroid a few years ago and that is totally #2 best Snes games, regardless of the nostalgia factor. So, in short, good is good, and this game is good af. I have been playing the randomizer for years, it never gets old with rando. Especially crosskeys format.

As someone who has played (though yet not beaten any) a few zelda games, It really saddens me to say LttP just isn't very fun for me. Most of the dungeons are just annoying, the overworld is boring and sometimes kind of a chore to navigate, and I feel no urge to explore and look for secrets (hence why I mostly use the flute), specially when enemies take a third of your healthbar in one hit. I really wanted to like this game, but it angers me to no end. Great review, however.

Took me years to figure out how to expand the bomb and arrow capacities. Turns out the "Pond of Happiness" can allow for those expansions, at the cost of 100 Rupees a pop. Max you can go for is 50 bombs and 70 arrows.

No joke, i would do anything to hang out with / share a joint with SomeCallMeJohnny

I will now forever call Agahnim Jerry.

Link to the past is a great game and all but in this year of 2023 I’d recommend Link Between Worlds as a better starting point for Zelda Newbies (also holy shit this video is 10 years old)

I mean technically this is the last time line where the master sword would ever be used again

You say "swings his sword like areal sword", but funnily enough, that kind of knightly longsword is better for thrusting against armored targets... x)

You know....Ganon reveals that Agahnim (Or Jerry) Is his Alter Ego, couldn't we just call Agahnim Ganondorf?



What's the difference? They both like to play Tennis and the "Ganondorf" name first appeared in this game so....

Broo 2023

Yes correctly sed. So the king commanded 7 sages not wise men. The gba translation says this.

The curse of the better third game being overshadowed by the much worse overated fourth game

Nah I'd play a link to the past over super mario world or super metroid anytime.

This review must be why I keep wanting to call the red hooded guy Jerry 😅

My head cannon is that the sages in the intro are the sages from oot. So the sitting one is actually saria.

CENSORED MODE may have helped Johnny on this adventure ;p

Link's sprite in this game was always an eyesore to me.

The reason why the colors are washed out on GBA games is because the original model didn't have a backlight. But I guess you already went over that in your Metroid Fusion review.

happy 30th anniversary the legend of zelda a link to the past!!! :3

I was confused before the final battle as was Jerry just an illusion that Ganon created or was Jerry Ganon the whole time

Watching this after watching his OoT vid...people really should've expected him to not care nearly as much for that one.

doesnt it sound like "helloooo bitches" at the end lol

This game was revolutionary for me when I was 10. The previous year I'd been playing amiga so it was a huge leap in quality

Link to the past would have been a very good game if it had better story between dungeons. Sadly there was no story at all. Just go from point A to B to C. It had so many fun items to play etc but felt souless. One thing I liked about the GBA version was the 4 swords perks the game had. It was one of the few Zelda games I passed 100% (full completionist) and as a kid I enjoyed all that stuff but now that I look back it ranks low in my preferences.

how can this come before zelda 2 when there are descendants of the 7 wise men in this game... also the wise men are supposedly dead, so clearly the events here come after zelda 2.

I remember watching and waiting for his next episodes for his original Zelda marathon. I am surprised it was 8 years ago.

“Considering how crowded it was”

Man I wish that were the 2021 mood

Wow, this is 8 years old now...

Love this dude’s videos, been watching for about 6 years now.

One thing I love about this game is using the Net to capture a bee in a Bottle. Later I release it so it attacks all enemies on screen. There is also a White Bee, which is unique and only appears once in an ice cave.

While I can’t call this my favorite Zelda game, I still consider it good and can definitely see why other people love it so much.

This game set standards for the future... Future games are 3D games... Metroid, Mario and Zelda games changed completely after the SNES.

This game was originally meant to be a prequel to the 1st & 2nd game.

7.19 mark. Just hold sword out in charge up mode and guy will walk into it, you'll bounce back but not off the edge. Easiest boss ever

happy 29th anniversary link to the past!!!:3(can't wait for it and the series anniversary along with kid icarus & metroid.)

to me a better structure than oot with better music,gameplay that perfected 2d zelda structure in a coherent way and handling of link that's my favorite 2d game(along with the oracle games/link's awakening.)with a fantastic great successor with link between worlds.

Agahnim is pronounced Gear-a-ham...

I remember getting this when I was 12 and not using a strategy guide...I was lost for nights on end on how to advance once I got hook shot. Blindly throwing it to cross to the other side of the Dark World that I couldn't access before still ranks as one of the most satisfying moments of my gaming life.
