Are there any action rpgs better than zelda link to the past on the snes?

It's an action/adventure game, not an rpg

[Anonymous No.7393992]

I would say, when it comes to these three games, none of them feel quite as polished or "tight" gameplay wise as Zelda, however the adventure and story elements are much more engaging. Definitely all worth the play. Also, Mana.

Maybe you should try marvelous. The dev of this game went to go help work on oot

Bait. This same faggot makes these threads calling Zelda games RPGs every month or so.
Honestly no video game without turn-based combat should be called an RPG. The "ARPG" meme is a bit retarded in general.

you play the role of Zelda, a boy in a green suit on a quest to retrieve the Triforce and defeat Ganon

In the course of my carfeer as a vidcon specialist (my own coinage, spend it wisely), I have never seen such blatant and frankly, sickening ignorance as that exhibited by the "people" (if, in fact, they are homo sapiens at all, as their intelligence implies elsewise) that claim that Zelda is not an RPG.
There is nothing that Shigeru "Shiggy" Miyamoto could possibly do to make the vidcon any more of an RPG as it meets every single criterion for being one, particularly that it takes place in an imaginary realm with a fantastical beastiary, the damsel/villain ratio is at or above standards, and that the core emphasis of the gameplay is on bedazzling all foes with impeccable swords and sorcery.
Furthermore, this line of thought can be extended to all vidcons in which the player controls a character (hence, roleplaying), though I cringe slightly at the thought of such mundance vidcons as Madden being RPGs, as they do not even include exotic weaponry such as the tonfa.

Soulblazer is the best out of the trilogy, easily.

Seems like a lot of effort for such a weak ass troll. Or are you assuming other pea brains are going to find your manner of writing amusing?

Much like "Fighting game" does not simply refer to any game where you fight, "Role playing game" does not refer to any game in which you play a role. It is a style of gaming unto itself regardless of the name, and it is based on three core concepts.
1. Gameplay that in some way is dictated by random numbers generating, aka rolling dice to determine outcomes either physically or simulated by a machine itself
2. Character creation and/or customization of characters
3. The ability to level up through the gaining of experience points earned in battles or doing tasks

Simple action is kind of par for the course of helicopter view games. Terranigma attempted something more complex, but do you think it really nailed that? Simple action is fine, suited Zelda fine too.

It still makes me laugh he originally said this unironically.

Too much effort not enough quality.

Beyond Oasis does it the best out of any of the games of this type, but combat is the main focus. It's basically like Zelda mixed with a brawler.

There aren't any games better than A Link to the Past on SNES

Or on anything else, for that matter

[Anonymous No.7394621]

>>7393961

I didn’t like the link of the past, I believe nintendo should have kept the design of the first game

[Anonymous No.7394634]

I can probably play this game everyday

I don't know if better. But, the Brandish series was an enjoyable experience.

Exactly, it's just like Super Metroid and Mega Man X. My favorite rpgs of all time.

>If I oversimplify my argument it looks like I have one
Soul Blazer is a solid B+ game.

[Anonymous No.7398521]

Zelda is an outlier and is the best on the SNES largely because it is does not try at all to be an RPG.

Man, remember when anime was universally reviled and looked down upon on the internet?
