A Link to the Past used a top-down perspective similar to the original [[The Legend of Zelda]], instead of the sidescrolling format of [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]. A Link to the Past expanded on the original's mechanics, introducing gameplay features that have become hallmarks of the Zelda series, such as multi-level dungeons, the Master Sword, the Hookshot, and parallel worlds. It was well-received and is often considered one of the best installments of the series. It sold over four million copies and many critics and fans consider it one of the greatest video games ever made.
