The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (ALttP) First Time Playing No Commentary Playthrough / Walkthrough.

This is RAW footage except cuts to allow IRL breaks.

I've already completed Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask at 100% so I kind of had an idea of what to expect going into a "new" Zelda game blind.
I can definitely see some similarities between games so there are a few puzzles/secrets that was easier to solve/figure out for this reason.

About the video itself:
If you're wondering why something feels wrong you might have played the game in 4:3 which is the wrong aspect ratio.
This game was made in 8:7 which is the ratio that video uses. (1234x1080 to be exact)
I've manually checked both aspect ratios and it turns out that in 4:3 the pixels are stretched, which is not the case in 8:7.

*Oh and I've edited the intro to fix the monstrosity that is the "sword's lightning" effect.

As mentioned above I've already played a couple of other Zelda games in the past (two years ago, so very recently) I have no idea whether this is a popular decision or not but after being a couple of hours "deep" into Ocarina of Time using a nickname I've quickly realized that I'd much rather have my character to be referred as the generic "Link" name than mine, hence why I chose to call myself Link in any Zelda game.
