If the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has you pining for some classic Hyrule adventures, you’re in luck — today Nintendo launched its spiritual predecessor A Link to The Past on the Wii U. The iconic Super Nintendo adventure is available to download now through the console’s Virtual Console for $7.99. Of course, this is far from the first port for the game, which is also available on the original Wii and Gameboy Advance, but the added Gamepad support is a nice touch for those looking to do some questing from the comfort of their bed. It’s available to download now.
