Ambiguous Situation: Due to the timing of when Ganon reveals himself, the nature of his and Agahnim's identity is ambiguous.Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: When Link is transformed into a rabbit, his fur is the same pink as his in-game hair.
#LINK TO THE PAST OPENIN SKIN#
Amazing Technicolor Population: Agahnim is blue in the official artwork, albeit he has a natural skin tone in-game.
All 2D games released on the NES, Game Boy, (original and Color) and 3DS take place after this game, thus being part of this branch of the chronology as well. Without the Hero of Time around, Ganon was later defeated during the Imprisoning War and eventually sealed, which kickstarted the backstory of this game.
Alternate Timeline: It's retroactively revealed by Hyrule Historia that this game is the first in the Downfall branch of the series' chronology, following Link's defeat against Ganon at the end of Ocarina of Time (he wins in the other two beanches). All the Worlds are a Stage: Ganon's Tower incorporates enemies and puzzles from many previous dungeons, as well as featuring rematches with the bosses of the Light World. It created a few inconsistencies with later titles. #LINK TO THE PAST OPENIN MANUAL#
The translators of the American manual took a few liberties with the text.

All There in the Manual: The manual contains six pages of backstory, and a sealed booklet explaining how to beat some of the tougher puzzles. It is blood-red by the events of the game. Alien Sky: The Sacred Realm is said to have a gold-colored sky. However, the lore itself makes it clear no one actually knows what the Golden World looked like before Ganon corrupted it, and later games show it to be just a beautiful, lush world not much different from Hyrule. The picture shows a world with a golden sky and endless planks of extremely thin, twisting landmasses balanced precariously on columns. Alien Landmass: The manual for the game includes a picture of the legendary Golden Realm, the resting place of the Triforce. Falling into it, however, lands you in front of a cave exit even higher up than where you entered. Alien Geometries: In the lower right corner of Hyrule's Death Mountain is a cave with a non-bottomless pit inside. However, rescuing the maiden from each dungeon (which also happens after defeating the boss) will recover your health.

Adaptational Skimpiness: The full body fairy artwork shown her with just her right shoulder and left arm bare. The novelization by Katsuyuki Ozaki shows her with waist-length hair. Adaptational Hairstyle Change: The fairy's full body artwork shows her with a bobcut. They reach the backside of the Sanctuary, which is located northwest of the castle, and from there Zelda remains safe (for a while) with the loyal sage who resides there. Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Link and Zelda escape from Hyrule Castle trough the underground sewers. In addition, one dungeon's item may be required to enter the next dungeon (or even sometimes the section of The Overworld it lies in).

Ability Required to Proceed: As a series hallmark, almost every dungeon in the series from this game onward will have puzzles that can't be solved without the item found in their respective dungeon, and bosses will probably need you to use that item to beat them. It has the general look and feel of the original except with 3D graphics (though still top-down) and features the same version of Hyrule with completely new dungeons. A sequel for Nintendo 3DS, A Link Between Worlds, was released in 2013. Link to the Past was re-released in 2002 on the Game Boy Advance, sharing a cartridge with the multiplayer-only Four Swords. The game would receive a sequel in 1993 in the shape of Link's Awakening for the Game Boy. The basic plot formula of A Link to the Past (gather three items, get Master Sword, huge plot twist, gather more items, fight the final boss), known to some fans as " The Legend," would be repeated many times throughout the series. Link is eventually forced to travel to the Dark World, a parallel version of Hyrule distorted by Ganon's wishes after he was sealed in the Golden Land (that story would later be told in Ocarina of Time), to save the captured maidens and the Princess, and finally defeat Ganon. Of course, saving the world isn't that easy. He discovers that the evil wizard Agahnim is capturing girls from across Hyrule, and learns that the only way to defeat him is to obtain the three Pendants of Virtue from dungeons across Hyrule, and then collect the Master Sword. Link's Uncle also receives the call but dies, so Link must take up the call. The story begins with Link receiving a psychic message from Princess Zelda, telling him to come and save her from her imprisonment in Hyrule Castle.
