(→Traps and obstacles: Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 16 Bits Tab: "The rotating Guruguru bars that appear in A Link to the Past originated in Super Mario Bros., where they’re called Fire Bars. However, they were originally intended for The Legend of Zelda; the developers felt they looked better in a Mario game and passed them between titles.") |
(Name adjustments (subject to tweaking but it's a start): for enemies named in earlier manuals (Armos Knight, Cobra, Mountain Lion, with Swamola as exception since reused for ALBW), used usual name; for enemies only appearing in ALttP (Babūsu, Buzz, Zoro) or receiving English name after FS (Babūsu, Bow Soldier, Chasupa, Devalant, Hock Bock, Kodongo, Ku, Pirogūsu, Popo, Ropa, Skullrope, Slarok, Sluggula, Stal, Taros, Zazakku, with Deadrock as exception for being "Goron"), used ALttP/FS Prima name.) |

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is the third installment of The Legend of Zelda series. It was first released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, starting with Japan in late 1991 (on the Super Famicom) and then overseas the folowing year, 1992. The story is about Link, who goes on a journey through two realms, the Light World and the Dark World, to save Hyrule and the kidnapped maidens from Ganon.
The game returns to a top-down perspective like the first The Legend of Zelda game, thereby abandoning the side-scrolling gameplay of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Several series staples such as parallel worlds and the Master Sword were introduced in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Equipment such as the Hookshot and Pegasus Boots also made their first appearance.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is widely considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time and a landmark title for Nintendo. In 2002, the game received a Game Boy Advance port for the compilation title The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords, which also includes an exclusive multiplayer game, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was later re-released for the Virtual Console of the Wii, then the Wii U, and the New Nintendo 3DS. The game is included on the Super NES Classic Edition and for Nintendo Switch Online. In 2013, the game received a direct sequel for Nintendo 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

Trivia
- At the time, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was the only home console installment of The Legend of Zelda series that was not included on The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (not including the demo of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker). This decision is likely because of the Game Boy Advance port, which is compatible with the GameCube via the Game Boy Player. Another possible reason is because the GameCube face button layout is different than the Super Nintendo's.
