Jason Arriola is joined by Richard Balmer and Stephanie Kulak to talk about their favorite Zelda game – The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

It balances just the right amount of hints as to what to do next and leaving enough to the imagination to encourage trying multiple solutions to problems.
