It has sold 4.61 million copies worldwide.{{Ref|[https://archive.rpgamer.com/news/japan/rp033104.html RPGamer - Japandemonium - Xenogears vs. Tetris]}} This was a revolutionary ''The Legend of Zelda'' game as it brought [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] from 8-bit form to 16-bit form. It was also the first Zelda game to include the [[Master Sword]], the typical three then some more dungeon layout, famous locations like [[Kakariko Village (A Link to the Past)|Kakariko Village]] and [[Lake Hylia (A Link to the Past)|Lake Hylia]], a plot twist in the middle of the game, and variation of musical selections.

The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past was released in 1992 on the SNES. This was a true masterpiece as it brought [[Link]] from 8-bit to 16-bit. It was also the first Zelda game to include the [[Master Sword]], the typical 3 then 5 dungeon layout, famous locations like [[Kakariko Village]] and [[Lake Hylia]]. This game really did kick start the Zelda series.
In [[2013]], a sequel to ''A Link to the Past'' was released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], entitled ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''.
 
==Overview==
Learning from their experiences from the previous two games in the series and perfecting the "''Zelda'' formula," Nintendo delved into the development of the upcoming title for the ''Super Nintendo Entertainment System'' (SNES). Released in Japan at the end of 1991 and for international release near the end of the next summer, ''A Link to the Past'' quickly climbed the ladder of the highest rated games.
 
Returning to the overhead perspective that was established in the first game, ''A Link to the Past'' featured tons of new enemies, items, characters, and a more in depth plot than the previous installments. This game introduced a dual world mechanic in which Link could travel between the [[Light World]] (normal) and the [[Dark World]] (a twisted parallel dimension), able to go between the two worlds in order to unlock secrets and progress to new areas. Simply put, the game was massive, containing over twelve dungeons and two versions of each area of the [[Overworld]] due to the duel-world feature, promoting hours of adventure and more in-depth puzzles to solve.
 
The game was also the first in the franchise to have a real, tangible art style. The previous installments on the NES, due to resolution and color limitations were unable to attain this.
 
Nintendo had narrowed down what had made the first game in the series such a success and expanded upon it, creating an innovative, immersive experience that holds its place as one of the best games for the SNES and even more so, one of the highest rated games of all time.
 
Nearly ten years later, the game was released again for the Game Boy Advance, containing another stand-alone game on the cartridge called ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]''. On this cartridge, ''A Link to the Past'' was updated with a couple changes including sound effects for Link's actions, updated dungeons, and characters. ''A Link to the Past'' also became available for purchase on the Wii Virtual Console at a later date.
