As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best games of all-time.
Yes! Link to the Past is a brilliant game - definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
I second the recommendation of Link’s Awakening and Link Between Worlds since you liked this one so much.
