Case study: The legend of Zelda: A link to the past UX/UI redesign

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was released for the Super NES in Japan in 1991. It is the third game in the Legend of Zelda series and is known for establishing many of the game's classic tropes, such as the Hookshot, the Master Sword, collecting pieces of heart, and the existence of two parallel worlds. While the game is a cult classic, the UI is basic, unintuitive, and does not hold up to today's standards.
