''A Link to the Past'' used a top-down perspective similar to the original [[The Legend of Zelda]], instead of the side-scrolling 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.


In 2002, [[Flagship]] ported the game to the [[Game Boy Advance]]. The re-release itself had [[/Versions|a few differences]], and the cartridge also includes a multiplayer mode titled [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]], the first multiplayer title in the series. The game was later re-released on the [[Wii Virtual Console]] in Japan on December 2, 2006, in North America on January 22, 2007, and in Australia on March 23, 2007; as this was the SNES version running under emulation, the changes made by Capcom were not included.
