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

* [[End of the World Special]]: {{spoiler|Link gets the full Triforce at the end of the game.}}

* [[Epunymous Title]]: For the English version at least.

** And escorting Zelda out of the castle dungeon and through the sewers which was longer...

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Agahnim. [[All There in the Manual|According to the manual]], after he miraculously fixed the numerous ills Hyrule was suffering at the time when he appeared, he more or less became the King's right hand man. This transitioned to Agahnim being the de facto ruler and finally "eliminating" the King.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Ganondorf, Agahnim

** It's become an [[Ascended Glitch]], with ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Wind Waker'' and ''Twilight Princess'' allowing Link to use empty bottles to reflect Ganon and/or Phantom Ganon's attacks in the same manner. In ''Twilight Princess'', you can also use the Fishing Rod to distract Ganondorf during the final duel, allowing for a couple free hits.

** Not that you'll be able to fight Agahnim if you don't already ''have'' the Master Sword, since the dungeon you fight him in ''requires'' that you have it before you can enter.

* [[Insurmountable Waist Height Fence|Insurmountable Waist-Height Stones]]: Par for the course for [[The Legend of Zelda]].

* [[Invincible Minor Minion]]: The thieves.

* [[Item Get]]: When Link gets a new item, he usually holds it above his head while victory music plays. This is even [[Lampshaded]] by a merchant. He tells Link to hold the bottle he just bought above his head because it's good for business.

* [[The Key Is Behind the Lock]]: There's one locked treasure chest whose only key, you are told, is inside the chest, and you can never open it. Fortunately you can drag it with you until you find a master lockpicker.

** [[Unexplained Recovery|He gets better]] after you beat the game, presumably because of Link's wish on the Triforce. We never find out what he was going to say, though. Guess it wasn't ''that'' important.

** Averted in the GBA re-release which alters his "dying" speech and he actually manages to finish what he was saying before dying. In the new version, he basically tells Link that it's his destiny to save Zelda and that he really enjoyed their time together.

* [[Underground Monkey]]: Stronger varieties of soldiers simply have differently colored armor. Interestingly enough, the color coincides with the colors of Link's own armor upgrades obtained later in the game (green being the standard version, blue being stronger than green, and red being the strongest). The [[Dark World]]'s version of soldiers, Tauruses, come in red and blue varieties, though the red ones are rarer, and unlike the soldiers their weapons are different (they wield tridents instead of spears).

* [[Unique Enemy]]: The weird blimp-like creature on the southern shore of Lake Hylia is the only one of its kind, and Lynels appear only on two screens of Death Mountain. There are also a few dungeon-specific monsters like Freezors and the unnamed-in-English antlion-like enemies in the Desert Palace.

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The [[Game Boy Advance]] version released in 2002 added voice bits for Link (taken from Young Link in ''Ocarina of Time,'') and a [[Bonus Dungeon]] unlocked after beating ''Four Swords.'' Also a new riddle sidequest for the Hurricane Spin.

* [[Useless Useful Stealth]]: An aversion; the invisibility from the Magic Cape is quite useful to go through certain boss fights and other situations without taking any damage.
