I cleaned up the article. The original nominator has retired from Wikipedia so I have taken the reigns. Gary King ( talk) 00:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Please actually look at the article before voicing an opinion List of characters in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past As you can see, if trimmed down slightly, it would fit as a characters section, a totally appropriate section for this article and eliminate a stubby article with basically no notability. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 18:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
I used to think an original game warranted being separate, but FS is definitely of lesser importance than ALttP on the cartridge. I think that the GBA re-release could be summed up quite easily in this article, with a couple paragraphs for gameplay, a paragraph for the significant differences in ALttP GBA, a paragraph for development, and a couple paragraphs for critical and consumer reception. - A Link to the Past (talk) 07:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Article merged: See old talk page here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megata Sanshiro ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
This article seems very close, with lots of good work done. If we just add references to the scores in the score box, it looks like it will be ready. Thoughts? Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 06:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I think this article calls for a Peer review. It has been over a year since it was assessed. Alot has changed. We need to see what stands in our way from this being a FA. I think it looks amazing. Lets see what others say. Who will start the review? I am not good at doing that sort of stuff, and I think someone who has actualy worked on the article should. -- Blake ( talk) 14:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I know - awkward that the guy who proposed the merge is proposing its reversal. I think it looks a little awkward, the way it's set up currently. As opposed to feeling like an essential part of the article, it feels tacked onto the end of it. While the single player portion is fairly identical, I think that we could fill out an article with reception and development. While some may be redundant, most especially in reception, we could still provide reception for how it's held up, or for changes to the main game, and of course reception for the multiplayer portion. I mean, we did it with Super Mario 64 DS, after all [though granted, it was a pretty significant DS launch, so it had a lot of developmental coverage and reception, and it had a lot of differences]. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
There are already some scattered mentions of the innovations in this game that were taken up in later Zelda games, but I think the article could benefit from a proper section discussing the importance of A Link to the Past in relation to the development of the whole series - music, characters, gameplay. — Hex (❝?!❞) 14:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
In the gameplay section the Flute is mentioned as making it's first appearance in the franchise. However, I was under the impression that such an item had already been implemented in the very first Zelda game. Broadbandmink ( talk) 22:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
I have moved the posts here to the project talk page as the discussion will get more attention there. Prime Blue ( talk) 13:43, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
As it stands, there are six images in total of this article, doubling what is considered an acceptable cap for an article. None of the images use any rationales besides the bare minimum. I've taken the liberty of removing the story image and the soundtrack image. I would further suggest removing the Four Swords image. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 02:40, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
In the Zelda timeline I'm missing the obscure "Link: The Faces of Evil" (1993). Although the game is absolutly rubbish I think it should be there, like Link's Crossbow Training.

Possible remake/sequel? This is just a heads-up. Probably too soon to have a full mention yet. Axem Titanium ( talk) 17:28, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
There are dead links, unformatted references, it really needs a good referencing going over. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 17:32, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I removed the outdated flag after updating the section. It was on the "A Link Between Worlds" section. Let me know if you have any questions, or believe it requires further updating. Triforces ( talk) 16:17, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Why does "Kako e no Rinku" appear in the article? It's common for Japanese titles to appear in articles about Japanese games because often the English title is a translation of the original Japanese title. That's not the case with this particular game, which has completely different and unrelated titles in Japan and North America/Europe. The article already includes the correct official Japanese subtitle "Kamigami no Toraifōsu." There's no reason to translate the English title to Japanese. Assuming there is no good reason given for keeping it, I move that it be deleted. Druff ( talk) 20:04, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Shouldn't this game be part of the "open world video games" category? Because "A Link Between Worlds" is part of it, and both games are very similar.
Is it possible to have the ' show' be a space away from the shown date? There's currently overlap and it looks artless and unfit.
This article needs a re-haul on the reception section. It's currently a ball of prose just listing "Best-ofs" and not very specific to what makes the game good or any contemporary reception prose. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 17:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
