Back then, debating which of Secret of Mana or A Link to the Past is best was all the rage in the schoolyard. We all had strong evidences, but even at that time I felt they weren’t in the same genre. I remember spending afternoons with friends just to level up the characters in the ice forest and never got bored of it: the wheel system and the magic attack’s graphic effects kept me entertained. I bought my copy from a friend who had a save file in which he renamed all the characters after insults, and it made me laugh so hard. Graphics and musics are some of the best on the system, I regularly listen to the OST while working. The gameplay can but inaccurate sometimes, due to some frustrating cool downs between attacks. My favorite weapon was the gauntlet, because Street Fighter II. To have an action RPG that you can enjoy with your friends was a benediction. This game is a masterpiece.
