What sucks is that sometimes we find 99% of the solution, but miss that critical 1%, and then our brains immediatly scratch that idea, and then you're doomed to wander for hours until you go back and try that one thing that "doesn't work" again, but now it works. I'm sure everyone has moments like that (but won't admit). At least the game offers plenty of other things to discover if and when you get lost and start trying things. So getting lost is actually a feature.
Man, some of this is so aggravating to watch. And it's not because "oh you know what to do and I don't", it's because of you ignoring what the game tells you to do or just deciding you can't do the thing you're supposed to do for no reason. Like at the beginning with those chests in the basement, you just decide you can't move the one at the top that you need to move to get the other 2 chests and keep moving the same ones over and over again. Turning something that should have taken 5 seconds to do into like 5 minutes of you hitting your head against the wall. The magic seal isn't entirely on you, you did try to hit it. But the game is telling you you need to go there and you decide to leave and go everywhere else in the world trying to find out what to do when the game is showing you where to go already. Oh my god. "I buried my flute in a gathering of animals under some seeds". Teleports to light world where there's a group of animals. "Where this gathering of animals?" You gotta be trolling man. The guy said the stone circle was in the river not the lake
The reason my brother and I never played this either was, the SNES came with Super Mario, but we had our Street Fighter II cartridge in waiting before we even got or opened our SNES console. Mario was played as a second rate game, and then it was onto Street Fighter II Turbo and games like Axelay. Zelda, as great as I'm sure it was, never stood a chance.
I played this wonderful game for the first time when I was 7 years old, with the help of my mom, who enjoyed discovering the secrets of Hyrule even more than I did. Making progress in the game wasn't easy for us; it was entirely in English, and we are Italian (unfortunately, not as many people knew English back then as they do today!). Still, we managed to finish it, and I can still clearly remember the sense of satisfaction I felt whenever I managed to move forward, obtain new items, or figure out how to enter a dungeon 🙂
Watching you play and discover Hyrule in A Link to the Past is a real treat! Keep it up 🙂
I think I've never seen anybody try out so much pointless shit and at the same time miss every single obvious thing to do. Also I don't think I've ever seen anymody move north in a dungeon as the first choice always, especially after trying to carefully explore stuff just a few moments before. And impatiently rushing into enemies, thus taking a lot of damage and dying and in turn make everything take even longer.
It does create some entertaining content, but also many facepalm moments.
As a little kid, like pre 10 years old, the concept of reading to find out what to do next in a video game never clicked for me. I can't tell you how many times I replayed the opening of this game, getting Zelda to the church and then just fucking around not knowing what to do next. And it was still one of my favorite SNES games. I did eventually played through the whole game in my teen years.

Ok first Chrono Trigger and now this? Were you in a coma when you were kid?
5:04:05 WTF ARE YOU DOING MAX!<? (man , the chat went nuts in that moment.)
How did I miss this! Dude I was just humming the music to this game

I could have sworn I played this on the PS1 back in the day, not sure where that memory comes from
who you do you get killed in the first level?

Max's ability to overcomplicate every puzzle is as impressive as it is frustrating to watch.
Let's go!!!!!!
I feel like he is having the same reaction to the beginning as most of us did… the confusion of what to do and where to go at first lol
Finally! This is gonna be awesome
This is a better game than Ocarina.
I was watching happily until the political statements around 1h45m.
Why did Max name Link "sex trafficker"?
I'm frigging sorry Max has an ASCIIPAD?!? I thought I was the only one!!
Has he played Minish Cap? I hope he plays that if he ends up liking this one. I love both games
Exciting stuff.
I cannot believe how long it took him to find the sanctuary 💀💀🤣
This is my personal GOAT
It's f**** awesome dude. I'm a 1991 baby me and my grandpa would play this everyday. He really made my childhood a lot cooler.
Wow, a lot of people in these comments suck lol
I enjoyed the throwback to the time we were kids and grew up with old games.
Love how you used the soul blade intro song in your intro!
of course he supports illegal immigrants
zelda 1 was like: "here's the solution to the next puzzle"
"what next puzzle?"
😁

Very cool home videos. I have some very similar ones from about the same time. Sadly they degraded a bit more than yours before they were digitized.
Are we going down or up? Doesn't matter Max, its all 2D.
Played the best zelda of all time a bit late
How drunk was Max this stream? Because he is being more obnoxious then usual.
The speedrunners never stop to smell the princess.
Wow, how have I played this game and never notice the mario picture in the sick kids room.

It's good to hear that he's really enjoying the playthrough. I personally enjoy watching.
55:00 I was going insane… I remember doing this first try back when I was like 6
I still play this game once a year or 2 on og hardware. Max is right the game pacing just flows really smooth.
I need a Remake of this one.
Lmao if he cant figure out these simple puzzles…..
