A Link to the Past, in my opinion, is when Nintendo perfected the Zelda formula. But did you know there was a Japanese-exclusive sequel called Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets for the Satellaview? One of my favorite games in the series is Link's Awakening, so I spend a great deal of time on that game too. In this Origin Oracle, we take a look at the extended lore of A Link to the Past and other games from this era.
