Curious about New Game Plus and the removal of previous Completionist episodes? The answers are in my update video: • The Future Of The Comp...
Watch my The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Randomizer run on Super Beard Bros: • The Legend of Zelda: A...
The Legend of Zelda came out and blew everyone away. But the sequel: Zelda II, was greatly disappointing and no one knew what direction the next game would take. And when A Link to the Past came out, it delivered in a historical way. A classic was born and it went above and beyond expectations, and is a game that any generation can enjoy.
Let me know what you thought about my Link to the Past review! Also let me know what other games I should review for New Game Plus.

If you had to come up with the next Legend of Zelda game, what would you title it?
I guess I would call it The Legend of Zelda:The Rays of Hope
The Legend of Link: Zelda's quest
The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle
The Completionist
The Legend of Zelda: Save Us
The Completionist legend of Zelda, the lost hero
Actually the zelda commercial would work perfectly for breath of the wild...You spend half the game climbing up mountain. And then lighting strike you.
“Someday I’m gonna get myself some magic boots!” No Jirard, you only have Normal Boots.
LMAOOO
a
Jirard wasn't kidding when he said he couldn't remain unbiased. This isn't so much a review as it is a gushing spree of pure feels and nostalgia.
Link to the Past is the one game that I consistently replay every couple of years. I've probably replayed it a dozen times. It's just that good.
It's amazing how the randomizer is keeping this game consistently so fresh well after a quarter of a century.
It is petty fun in pokémon
Yeah, I beat my first randomized run last night and it was a lot of fun
Ten arrows
#Big20
Khaeldranis There's a good Final Fantasy III one out there, too.
I've played with it, and oh man, it is great.
I love the simplicity of A Link to the Past. There's not an awful lot you have to do to 100% it, and for the most part nothing feels out of the way.
Just played and beat this for the first time on switch and its insane to me how well this game has help up 30 years later. I mean the game has fast travel for god sake its insane. Honestly I loved playing it more than I do a lot of modern games.
I played the GameBoy Advance port of A Link to the Past when I was young, barely about 7 at the time when I first got it. I honestly didn't know at that time that it was a port, just a new game to play. As I played my way through each dungeon and every part of the map, I didn't even notice how much time had passed.
I was enthralled with the look and feel of the game and aimed to collect all of the heart pieces and heart containers. In the end, I managed to get all the upgrades to my sword, shield, all of the heart pieces and heart containers, and I beat the final boss. And funnily enough, that was the only time I managed to do all of that.
Even though it's an older title, whenever I go back and play A Link to the Past I'm always revitalized with just how polished everything looks and how well the game plays. Because of my love for it as a kid and the fond memories I have from playing it, A Link to the Past is irrefutably my favorite Legend of Zelda game from the franchise.
This review was amazing Jirard and really did the game justice. Thank you for reviewing it again and have an awesome day! ^^
I would say consoder yourself lucky.. for those of us that got to play the game of it being new and before internet walkthroughs and all of that its such a masterpiece.. nice that the gba port helped even more people experience that
"Nintendo saves the industry" how many times have I heard that 😁
Well, it's technically true. Had Super Mario Bros and the NES not been so successful all the way back in 1985, video games would look very different today.
@@007robotchicken They are saving the video game industry right now. Most of their games don't have micro transactions except for the cross platform games. They put their game out and charge you what its worth
only 1 time I guess
Link to the Past still holds up as one of the best games of all times!
Truly a masterpiece!
That won't get you up there
JointswaGames I also upload game vedios so can you please subscribe to my Channel plz
You shouldn't ask for subs bro, just make good content.
JointswaGames OK, thanks
For those who didn't grow up with it, it's a bit of a pain to play. Particularly the shield and menus just made me want to go back to Link's Awakening or the Oracle games.
As someone who is the ages 10-20 and watching this video, a while ago I booted up the SNES classic I have, and I started playing it, and I just ADORE this game, It has so much charm and color! I was never a big Zelda fan but this, BotW, and OoT really made me realize what I’ve been missing out on all these years! But my overall opinion on this game is that it’s great!
This video reminds me of the old days of the completionist you could say it’s ‘a link to the past’
Alex Bickmore ikr
Booooo
Haha Haaa
Maybe death could be considered
Alex Bickmore I also upload vedio games can you subscribe to my channel plz
"When I say 'Zelda' to you, what song comes to your mind?"
Funny, none of those are the Dark World theme.
I only think of Sarias song in OOT and Wind Wakers intro song
The Hyrule Field Theme
The original zelda overworld
Main theme, Dark World, Saria’s song, and Zelda’s Lullaby are what come to my mind
Hyrule Castle
Man, these New Game plus reviews are amazing. It's been so entertaining to remember where you started and where you are now Jirard. I've been a fan of your content since near the beginning, and I want to say thank you for working so hard for us. You're an absolute genuine person
Had chills for every second of the “what song do you think of with zelda?...” part. Great vid! Coming from an “ocarina is the best zelda” guy!
Just a heads up, Your Minish Cap review isn't in the zelda playlist yet :P
Thank you!
"Every tree is crafted in a loving way"?
They are literally copy pasted LOL
Don't mean that in a bad way... I doubt there were much room (memory space-wise) to make every tree look different.
Damn, I loved playing this game when I was 13-14. Played it a year or so after it came out, and me and my friend spent so much time in it! Love it
You know what though? The way the trees fuse into each other when overlapping is actually pretty impressive for those SNES sprite based days. Kudos to them for going that extra mile instead of just making them sit identically side by side.
Maybe he is talking about how cartoony and childish the art style is, like you are inside a fairy tale book
I think he just meant that their design in general is inspired. They made them look pretty distinct.
I had the same thought, though I don't think he was referring to each tree being unique so much as their design being generally charming.
@Rebard Prower.
Yeah I get it. My comment was mostly supposed to be funny, and not taken so seriously :)
Love the design of the game, and I really think it is charming.
Just listening to the music in this game makes me want to cry. Another excellent video
My absolute most favorite game! I first played this game when I was a young child before being able to read. Back then, I figured out how to get through the game entirely by trial and error since I couldn't read any hints. It took a while, but I remember having a blast the whole time. Great to see this one back in your repertoire!
Could you do a completionist on Golden Sun for gba PLEASE
i second this
I literally just started that game last week for the first time. Its badass
crimsonking440 the sequels are really fun too, especially since you can import the save from the first game to the second, I have my concerns with the 3rd game, but it was fun enough that I played through it twice to 100%
I asked him in a stream a few weeks ago. He said he's heard a lot of really good things about the series, and he might check them out at some point. Nothing definite, but it's a possibility.
Also, TLA > TBS. >.>
Golden Sun is one of those series that I really wish would get more games. The Lost Age is still one of my absolute favorites for the GBA.
Ahh one of my favorite Zelda games of all time. Good job as always Jirard! Have a good one! =]
Link to the Past is my favorite video game of all time and Jirard, I can't thank you enough for reviewing it (again). I wish you the best of luck for the future and keep up the amazing work! :D
It was my love of watching my brothers play "A Link to the past," that brought me to tears playing "A link between worlds," and hearing that iconic opening remastered.
Hands down, my favorite game of all time. My dad bought the game when it came out, and I’m so glad he did. Idk how many times I’ve played it. I even got the SNES classic edition just to play the game like back in the day
Also a great start to the "Hey, what happens when I hit the cucco this time?" game.
I have played this too many times to still enjoy it. I admire your ability to continue to enjoy this game so much when you've played it far more than me.
Fantastic video as always homie! Easily one of my favorite games of all time and hearing your passion for it echoes exactly how I feel too.
The shot from the commercial at 5:23 looks like the climbing art of link in Breath of the Wild
I'm still waiting for someone to release a rom hack called "A Link to the Past but the Ice Palace Doesn't Exist"
I actually loved the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, but hated the Great Bay Temple in Majora's Mask. I also REALLY HATE the Ice Cavern in Ocarina of Time. I just do NOT like it. It's unappealing, it's tedious, it's flat out boring, and OH MY GOSH, the music's SO depressing. My opinions of course.
That was the single most annoying dungeon besides Moldorm
gamecatz all of the dungeon music is depressing. But it makes sense.
LMAO
I’ve just started creating content, and I was actually looking to see what content has been produced on this game so far……then I found myself watching the whole of this video, purely based on the passion I could feel you have for this game, which was very relatable, as this is the game that started all gaming for me in my life, and much like you, I spent hours and hours playing it. It blew my mind. Anyway, I watched this video to the end, it was a great video, you deserve the props you clearly get 👍🏻
I'm just glad that this channel exists! It definitely gives me something to listen to while I'm grinding for FFIIV before I fight Sephiroth or waiting for all the other Chocobos to catch up to me in the races. I'm just glad I don't have to listen to the droning music in the game and I instead have the pleasure of listening to this! Thanks Jirard and everyone at the completionist channel!
Would love in the wrap up section if you would include the time it took you to complete it the first time and the time it took now.
Darth Vanquish Hey that's a good idea.
When the King Knight campaign comes out, please, please, PLEASE COMPLETE SHOVEL KNIGHT!!!
If only the campaign actually releases one day
you got shouted out in the most recent neebs gaming video (the coffee commercial), so here i am. subbed and gonna watch through some videos. DON'T YOU LET ME DOWN, COMPLETIONIST!
This game was probably the best Christmas present I ever received. It was my first Zelda, and is still my favorite. I remember not wanting to leave my room for a couple weeks just so I could keep playing it. The songs still randomly get stuck in my head. This and Super Mario RPG are tied as my favorite games of my childhood.
I wonder what's for *dinner*
Gee, it sure is *BORING* around here
MY BOY
Squalala we're off!
Srgt Shocwave oh boy. Im so hungry I coyld eat am OcToRoK
Weaklins 🔥
My most favorite game of all time
Good choice.
Majora’s mask is mine but LttP is a really good choice
This is one of my favorite videos you ever done jarad
That mention of the sequence breaking glitch had me singing the “glitches with old man snitches” jingle
Not gonna lie, a Zelda RTS sounds bomb.
A Link to the Past remains as phenomenal as ever. It holds up incredibly well similarly to Super Metroid and Super Mario World. It remains my 3rd favorite Zelda game to this day only after Ocarina of Time and A Link Between Worlds.
“The exploration is the reward.” Yes it absolutely is. Loved the video!
I hear the next Labo add-on will be cardboard dumbells and stalks of broccoli. "Working Out Regularly and Eating my Vegetables Simulator," coming in Winter 2019.
Jokes aside, this was a great review to wake up to, Jirard! Your passion for what you do is nothing short of inspiring ^_^
This game have my longest playing session record, which is 13 hours in a row, that´s where I did the 000 run meaning no save and no death, so I had to play it super carefully, but I did it. And you can´t save because this game counts save and quit as death. Now I probably could do that faster but back in the day it took 13 hours to do.
fairy fountain and overworld theme come to my head all the time
Gerudo Valley comes to mind for me. It's by far the best song in the series.
My personal favorite is Song of Storms.
Seeing you replay these games makes me want to replay my childhood games...man 20+ years ago me was a patient gamer hahaha but a skilled one at that.
Yes!!! Jirad, I love your show and I love this game, this just made my day!
The Legend of Zelda: A MYWIFE to the Past
And now it's on The Switch 👍
For $20 on an online service
@@rosstubergames correction: *in* a 20$ online service
Watching Andy speedrun this game (with any criteria, in any of its iterations) is a sight to behold. I am excellent at A Link to the Past, and since about 1993, I've been able to tell you where every heart piece is and tell you every room in every dungeon. I still 100% about twice a year, and I'm elite. Andy makes me look like my mother trying to play Super Mario Bros 3 for the first time back in 1990.
Man, Jirard, I know it might have come about under bad circumstances, but I'm really happy that you're doing New Game Plus on all of your older game reviews. Seeing you review these games with a new perspective and much more experience is really cool! I actually think I look forward to New Game Plus more than the regular episodes. Can't wait to see more of them! Especially Kingdom Hearts! Keep it up!
I literally just play this gem on my snes classic I bought last week
Jakob W le gem!
Same.
The best Zelda game ever IMO.
Me toooooooo
Jakob W I subscribed to your channel and can you subscribe me back plz
how much did you pay for it if you don't mind my asking?
My 5 favorite Zelda games are
1st.Ocarina of Time: cuz its ocarina of time
2nd.Twilight Princess (GameCube): its hard and challenging plus the good characters plus the great music
3rd.(plz don't kill me) Spirit Tracks:it's the first Zelda game I played and for me it's the hardest
4th.Breath of the Wild:its great , its gigantic (the world) and its hard as F*** to complete it
5th. Windwaker : I like the cartoony graphics they look great plus I like the puzzles
Link100 yearnap ocarina is my favorite too
Imagination King same but spirit tracks isn’t on there, twilight princess is 3, ocarina is 2, link between worlds 1.
I know it's weird to feel nostalgic about a RUclips show, but I've been watching this for so long I love how nostalgic new game plus makes me feel
LINK TO THE PAST IS AN SNES GAME?? I always had the idea that it was a DS game cuz of how it looked
This comment makes me feel so old.
You thought it was a ds game.? It being on SNES is common knowledge. And also, the game looks good, but like a ds game
It’s not on the ds though
You go boy!!
Superhero Game Squad I subscribed to your channel and can you subscribe me back plz
Seriously when you played the sounds bits asking what you think of when you hear "Zelda" I got goosebumps. Only game to seriously make my whole body react. Thanks!
It's heart warming, even for people like me who are cold and dead inside, to see Jirard talk about games like when he's truly passionate about them, he's so happy and it's great.
One of the best games of all time!
100% Correct
Definitely my favorite Zelda game for sure
Why are you everywhere
Fierce deity why ARENT you?
SupaPixelGirl hi love you videos
but weren't there like a billion items in zelda cdi 2
This is such a nice video, it made me feel like playing it again. Just like you this is my favorite zelda as well, its just something about the 2d over the head aspect that is captivating.
I was 10 years old when LTTP came out. I had saved my allowance for months for it and I remember being so excited about getting it that I had my ride home from school drop me off at Sears department store. They ended up not having the game yet so I had to walk miles to Software Etc at the local mall. Thankfully they had it but now I was a over an hour walk away from home. My excitement somehow got me thru the long walk back. By the time I got home it was after dark , I was hungry, exhausted and didn't have much time to play before bedtime so I was pretty bummed. But once I popped that cartridge in and played that opening sequence, all that didn't matter anymore. It was the best game I had ever played up until that point, beating out my old favorite the original Zelda. Whenever I play it I always remember that first release day craziness.
I never clicked so early! Nostalgia FTW!
Thing of note, Jirard. Vitrious wasn't referenced in a future game.
The eyeball you showed was actually Digdogger from Oracle of Seasons which featured all of the bosses from original Zelda.
Vitreous was pretty much the worst example he could have chosen. Didn't even get a reimagining in a link between worlds
And a lot of the other Eyeball enemies have been more memorable.
Digdogger got at least 2 appearances and was memorable for me in the past because I could not figure out how to beat him (because I didn't have the Recorder)
Then there's Wart from Majora's Mask who is more like Arghus from the Swamp Palance for being somewhat difficult as I remembered.
This game was incredible man. I remember playing this game as a kid and being stumped at certain moments. I sat there for hours trying to figure everything out. Finally getting everything done was so satisfying. Such a classic.
Bro you have amazing taste in games haha. Wonderful content as well, earned a sub!
0:32 The NES and all that back in the day was only $99.99?
5:47 That's a dude? Honestly thought that was a woman in that Link costume XD
9:50 I like how it says Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
13:33 It is as old as me.
17:55 Same. Did that with the GBA game since it was the first one of this I got to play.
20:06 Somehow I am not surprised after what I saw you did with Dark Souls 3.
Kratos Aurion Plays Yeah, it was "99$", but that's not adjusted for inflation. It would equal out to a pretty modern price.
Eh, only about $225, actually. Still relatively cheap.
Adjusted for inflation or $225 either way that's not bad considering the things I have heard about the price of gaming back then.
Kratos Aurion Plays Oh definitely. Nintendo saved the industry by making their system affordable
Next New Game + Could you do Banjo Kazooie
CaptainWolke it’s gonna be Super Metroid. Sorry.
But beard man!
wow...just wow. my personal favorite zelda is majora's mask, but Alttp is second. it gives me the feels. great video Jirard, ya gave me the feels....ahhh...so nostalgic...the type of game i would play as its midway through summer, on a clear evening with the sky clear and blue, with the horizon starting to turn yellow....and you hear the classic SNES play those nostalgic tunes...
I 100% agree! Although I did play the first two LoZ games on my NES, it wasn't until A Link To the Past came out that I really became a fan of the series. It will probably always be my favorite game in the series and favorite game overall.
"Just like all 2D Zeldas it starts with a top-down..."
Poor Zelda 2. Even if it is bad, all it wants is to be fun and earn your love Jirard. Why do you ignore it (After already talking about it in the same video)?
"You have beloved three Zelda games and Zelda II!"
Scott the Woz talking about the zelda collection on the gamecube
This is by far the worst completionist review so far.
I spent the whole episode trying not to cry from the nostalgia waves these musics and images brought to my mind ಥ﹏ಥ
ALMOST A MILLION SUBS YOYOW GOOD ONE JERARD!
I played legend of Zelda link between worlds every morning on my school bus so listening to the music just makes me feel great
Fun fact: I had time to cook and eat my breakfast while watching this episode haha
Let's not be unfair with the graphics comparisons with Ocarina of Time here. Yes, cartoony graphics (especially well done sprites) hold up better than 3D models, but you are also playing this on some kind of emulator, probably the SNES Classic. If you recorded this from an SNES it wouldn't even look nearly as good. N64 games upscaled on emulator look leagues better than they do in the actual console too.
Overall, the emulated SNES games are gonna look better due to the art style, but I just wanted to make that point.
AndresLionheart Also OoT3D looks pretty good.
Yeah, I played Majora's Mask a little bit ago on an emulator, and it looked way better than on the actual console
AndresLionheart I doubt he's playing on an emulator.
He is most likely playing on an emulator, my guess is the SNES Classic. The image is way too sharp for being from the actual console, even through something like a framemeister
AndresLionheart -- That's what I was thinking... He's trying to compare a 2D to a 3D based on visuals. What? OoT isn't even my favorite Zelda game, but I know that comparison is a bit of a stretch since we moved on from the N64 capabilities. Of course, it's going to look a little dated.
But if we're going to compare it within the time it came out, I think just about everyone would have favored the 3D model since it was then first you could play as Link in 3D space.
This game is one of the first games I look to when I want to play something challenging, but fun. It's one of the best Zelda games in existence for a reason. Loved the new review Jirard!
This game is my favorite and the first one I ever completed! I'm so glad this was revisited and it still holds up to modern times. :)
So when Nintendo makes a good game series, has one bad game they go back to the formula that made it good?
Hmmmmm..... *whispers* if only it didn't take Sega 10 years to follow this example
Zelda II actually isn't bad. ALTTP is certainly superior though. But I actually like Zelda II more than the original.
@@HardcoreGamer4Ever yep, but of course pleasing the fans is also important. I love that they aren't afraid to experiment with their powerful IPs. Some would fear tainting the brand, but I feel like each time the experiment and Branch out it only seems to strengthen their IPs
Oh man they put the sword in his left hand. They got it right.
Cant tell you how much i would love to see you complete golden sun and golden sun the lost age. My #1 favorite games of all time.
This is my first time watching a new game plus video, man that opening is epic. Good memories.
Classic content without the cringe inducing "OH BEARD MAN" every fucking 30 seconds, count me in.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the GBA version which does have a bonus dungeon.
like almost every remake its always forgotten/hated
Not only that but you can unlock the hurricane spin :)
Zacsolo Gaming Except resident evil remake.
''like almost''
I am so grateful that the ONLY zelda game I played as a kid and before BOTW was this game. Thank you Jirard.
this episode did not disappoint! Good job!
3:24 There is a single frame that shows Mario 3
The Legend Of Zelda: Wind From The South, and the signature weapon is a fart gun.
found an old comment this time
INSTANT like for this being your favorite Zelda title. I was born in '93, my mom played and beat this while she was pregnant with me. My first memories were playing this game. Sure that may make me a little biased, but this game set a standard. So many elements that are staples in the Zelda series came from this game. The Master Sword, Zora's Domain, countless dungeon elements, Hyrule Castle, The ocarina(flute). The soundtrack is a masterpiece for this era of gaming. And I mean the GRAPHICS! Just the animations and graphics of going in and out of doors alone were just so visually appealing and felt so fluid. And the dungeons... Oh my goodness the dungeons are amazing. I loved the tiles in front of the door to the bosses to let you know it was the boss room. From all the big things to the little, from left to right, all down to the pixel, I love this freaking game. I feel like an old lady describing how things were back in her time. Help me...
I played this for the first time last year. I loved it. It's amazing how you can see the way it influenced modern gaming.
in the dark realm, *MY WIFE* becomes a bunny
Ok so sonic forces is next judging by ghost town in the beggining
Congrats on 1 mil guys, you've earned it
i somehow managed to miss this game completely for 8 years after its release. went from NES zelda (didnt play/know about 2) to awakening to ocarina. of course when i saw my highschool friend had it and i freaked out that i had missed a zelda game. we pulled an all-nighter that very day. good thing it was a three day weekend.
MYWIFE
My favorite Zelda Game. Fight me!
No legend of link
I prefer link between world's.
Beer By The Numbers Mine too
I get the feeling that nobody's going to fight you on that. Lol
Why would anyone fight you? You said "My favorite" meaning it's an opinion. Least your not spreading that shit around like Gospel like the Ocarina Nostalgia 'tards. Oh shit, now fight *me* fanboys!!
How in the a** have I never heard of you before?! Man, I suck and you rock! GREAT content! Maybe I'll see you at EGLX. Cheers!
all the use of the music in this video made me want to cry tears of joy
A Link To The Past < Zelda CDI
Mah Boi, this peace is what all true memers strive for
