Yesterday i killed Ganon and restored peace and stability to Hyrule. That's actually the first time i played it myself from start to finish. I was maybe 5 or 6 the first time i played Zelda: A link to the past it on my brothers Snes even tough i didn't really understand everything that was said.
"Do you understand?"
"Yes"
"No not at all"
I could have finished probably many years ago, but i either got stuck, bored, or saves got lost. My brothers Snes is lying hidden somewhere at my parents house i think, unless someone has *gasp* thrown it away. I remember even getting as far as Ganon's tower in the Dark World and still not finishing it. I actually beat Ganon many years ago on my older brothers save, but i had never played myself from start to finish until yesterday. In the last 12 months i have beaten both Donkey Kong Country 1,2 and 3, Lufia2 and Chronotrigger. Most of them i never even played on the original Snes.
Zelda however i hadn't played almost at all in the last year, until two days ago. When i started my old save that i started quite a while ago i had apparently just gotten the first crystal in the Dark World. So i got out my "newly" acquired hammer, went down and saved the girl in the second crystal and go the hookshot. And so on, i saved girls, found the big key and got my items. Made my way to turtle rock, always a difficult place to be and managed to pull trough even tough i actually came very close to dying.
Only at this point, maybe 17 years after i first played this game did i find out that if you sprinkle magic powder on those annoying spinning skull things that zaps your magic meter and some life, they turn into faries
So i with some help from the girls i just saved broke into Ganons tower, defeated some old friends that you first meet when you need the 3 pendants (to get the Master Sword,stupid!) and had a nice little reunion with the evil wizard Agahnim before i followed Ganon to his temple and killed him on the fourth attempt. And the world was safe again!
Anyways, the whole point of this thread/post is 3 things i guess.
1. What other classics are there on the Snes? I already finished Chronotrigger and Lufia2, Lufia1 was a bit of a disappointment after playing Lufia2 first. Also done with all the Donkey Kong games. Maybe I'll have a go at FF III/VI. Also i could ofcourse play Zelda on the N64 but they just don't get me in the same way. OOT is way overrated.
2. Do you have any old childhood games you liked but never finished? Or didn't finish until you where much older?
3. Congratulate me! I'm still proud of myself even if it took so long
This thread can also be used for discussing the awesomeness of the SNES!
