The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past is one of the most legendary games of the 90’s and it turned out to be a huge for the SNES.  For the original SNES Zelda: Link to the past managed to sell over 4 million units worldwide.  There are some who believe that Link to the Past would not have had much success as it did if it was released for the NES back in the early 90’s.

While the first two Zelda games for the NES were good the graphics for those titles were inferior in comparison to Link to the Past for SNES.  If Link to the Past was released for the NES it still would have sold over one million units worldwide.  However, it would be hard to tell if the game would as popular on the NES as opposed to the SNES.
