All good to great games that build on the foundation set by ALttP. I’d gladly play any of them if you put it in front of me but nostalgia demands that I push the one I played when I was like 9 years old or whatever.

I still play through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at least a couple times a year though it’s usually with the randomizer these days. It is objectively the best video game ever made, which helps.

One of my strongest gaming memories growing up was beating Silver Star Story sitting in a cramped hotel room in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard. My parents let me lug along my PSX on this road trip and I beat the last boss on last possible hit. Like everyone dead but the main character, if I didn’t win this round then the boss would wipe me next time around. I had a full on throw the controller in the air, run circles around the 6’ of open floor space in the hotel room, kind of celebration. My parents… didn’t get it, but that’s okay 😆

I never did get around to finishing Eternal Blue. Maybe this will be my excuse to pick it up again.
