Zelda 3 A Link to the Past Walkthrough on Super NES: Prologue (GBA, SNES, Super Nintendo)

To start, open the chest to find the lantern (1). Exit the house and go north towards the castle. Pass to its right and follow the path. Lift the bush in the center (2) and fall into the hole. Talk to your uncle to get the sword and shield (3).

Exit the castle and enter through the main entrance at the top (1). Take the first left and head towards the top of the screen to take the door on the right. Take the stairs going down (2). Kill the guard who gives you a key. Open the chest: you get the castle map. Go down and follow the path to the room in image 3. Kill the guard and take the door on the right. Kill the other guard, take the key and open the chest to get the boomerang. Go out of the room and take the top door. Follow the stairs to the prison.

Take a pot and throw it at the guard's head (1). Do this 2 times. You will get the big key. Open the prison door to free the princess. Return to the entrance hall and go up to take the stairs in the center of the room. Go to the end of the throne room and push the crest to the right (2). You will cross the sewers leading to the sanctuary.

In the sewers, it's dark but you can light the torches with your lantern. The doors are successively: top right, left, top (take the key in the chest on the right), left, top and top right (the key is in a rat). Now follow the path (up then down) to reach the room with the levers (1). Pull one. If it's the right one, the door opens, otherwise kill the snakes and pull the other. Open the chest, you find a heart (2). Leave the sanctuary.

The adventure can truly begin. Go to part 1.
