Just like the Game Guys, IGN also posted their list on what they believe are the best games for the SNES. Out of 100 games A Link to the Past came at the top spot, I am sure that all Zelda fans can agree with that listing, if not a majority can. Here is what IGN said about giving A Link to the Past the #1 spot,

The original Legend of Zelda for NES set the basic structure the series would continue to follow for the next quarter century. A Link to the Past made that series a legend. From the very outset of the game the player is thrown in the middle of the action. From the first swing of your sword to the final confrontation with Ganondorf, the game embodies pure SNES perfection.

Perhaps it’s the well-balanced enemies, the memorable bosses, or the brilliant light and dark world system that sets the game apart. Or maybe it’s the tight controls, perfected item system, or the glorious soundtrack. Whatever the reason, A Link to the Past remains our choice for the greatest game of possibly the greatest system of all time.

We don’t have the entire list for you guys but we do have the top 30 games right after the post jump so check it out.
