The Development of A Link to the Past

Legendary Adventures - A Legend of Zelda Podcast

Season 8 Episode 1

This is the start of Season 8, which is focused on the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, but that game was released bundled with a remake of the third Zelda Title, A Link to the Past. So, to kick things off we’re going to spend a couple episodes revisiting that game and pointing out some of the changes between the two versions. I’m basing much of these episodes off of my Season 3 scripts – but with some updates, and a few corrections. This episode is focused on the developmeny and Legacy of A Link to the Past.

Legendary Adventures is a Legend of Zelda playthrough podcast. I’m exploring the evolution of the Zelda game series by playing through each game in release order, excluding spin-off releases.
