The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** The Magic Cape, which renders the player invisible and invulnerable, automatically renders any boss fight that doesn't require a magic item ridiculously easy.

* [[Goddamned Boss]]: Moldorm might not be the toughest boss in the game, but he's easily the most frustrating one, simply because he has a completely unpredictable pattern and can knock you off the edge of his platform, forcing you to restart the battle. Falling through the hole in the middle of the platform is even worse, as you will end up falling through a second hole on the floor underneath, and have to climb up two stories to fight Moldorm again. Worse still, if you attack him but fail to hit his weak spot, that also sends you flying backwards. It's even worse when this rule still applies outside the boss battle. You can beat Molodorm, but the moment that you fall through the hole in the ground, you have the beat this boss again.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The original [[Shotaro Ishinomori]] ''Nintendo Power'' comic adaptation is practically ''prophetic'' when you look back on it now. Link has a fairy companion, the magic of the Dark World transforms him into a wolf (instead of a rabbit), and ''Zelda'' is the one to kill Ganon by shooting him with the Silver Arrow.

* [[Older Than They Think]]: The [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comics)|comic adaptation]] had a couple of these. For instance, instead of receiving the expected flippers from Zora, Link ends up with "Zora's Mask", a nondescript monster mask that is useful for a [[Dressing as the Enemy]] sequence. This was written more than half a decade before ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'', let alone ''[[Majoras Mask]]''.
