See how 20 years of adventuring has transformed Link from a tiny sprite into the man he is today

It's 1991 and four years have past since gamers got their last helping of Link. The Legend of Zelda:A Link to the Past, the first and only Zeldareleased for SNES, returned to the more traditional top down style of the original. Italsointroduced multi-level dungeons and parallel words which were soon to become staple features of the Zelda series.

Link to the Past sold over four million copies when first released, and many consider this to be one of the best Zelda games of the entire series.

Executive Producer, GR Video

Hi I'm James or JJ if you like, I'll answer to both. I'm the Executive producer for GR video which means I've had at least a part in all the hot moving pictures you'll find on the site (even if that part was just saying, yes that's a good video). I also produce the Future Games Show and Golden Joystick Awards. Away from the office you'll either find me playing Fortnite, or walking my dog. I'm better at one than the other, I'll let you decide which.
