Escaping the Castle With Zelda

Your very first mission in A Link to the Past is to sneak into Hyrule Castle, rescue Princess Zelda out of a prison cell, and find a way to escape with her. The game throws you into the action immediately with only Zelda’s telepathic voice to guide you.

There are very few times in the Legend of Zelda series in which the princess actually joins you, but in A Link to the Past, you find yourself escorting Zelda to safety in this first segment of the game. She’s never met you before, but she fully trusts you to lead her out of the castle and through dark sewers filled with rats and keese.

Finally, you emerge from the sewers to the sanctuary where Zelda can hide from the evil wizard Agahnim while you start your adventure in Hyrule.
