Tuesday Sep 27, 2022
This week on the podcast, we talk about what is commonly known as a contender for the best video game of all time, it's the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Released originally in 1991 in Japan, this game basically perfected what Nintendo introduced in the original Legend of Zelda and added a ton of features to improve/add depth to the experience. This game would introduce many tropes of the series going forward and still holds up well today. So where did it land on the Endless List?
