Re: Why is it called "A Link to the Past"?

The link is the bloodline and the prophesy. I always found it really obvious, long before I even played the game.
That's pretty much it. Well there are other aspects as well. The whole game is a big reference to the past events. The 7 maidens decended from the sages, Link carrying on the bloodline, Ganon comming back, the sacred/dark real, it's all about past evens. I don't think the title has anything to do with where it is in the timeline, or when it was released.
