With sales of the original Super NES version approaching five million, A Link To The Past is one of the legendary Zelda series' biggest hits. Allowing players to shift between normal and corrupted versions of the same fantasy world, A Link To The Past introduced a dimension-bending theme that the series returned to in later incarnations, while the refinement of the controls and streamlined use of items laid the foundations for what would eventually evolve into the Nintendo's masterstroke, The Ocarina Of Time. For SNES users, though, this was a high point of the console's lifespan.
