5 Dec 2021 23:30		Mastered
4 Jan 2022 17:49		First set I mastered thanks for a fun set.
13 Jan 2022 18:56		Mastered
25 Jan 2022 2:20		Mastered! Very good game, thank you for the achievements.
31 Jan 2022 20:03		mastered. Since this is one of my favorite games, this mastery means alot to me. :D
11 Feb 2022 23:44		Mastered!! The nostalgia of the days when I was kid playing this for the first time...these achievements brought those great memories back. Getting those last two achievements and mastering this game felt like I beat it again for the first time.
19 Feb 2022 22:18		Mastered! My first of many! This was a great set, the no damage boss achievements definitely required some work, it was a nice challenge and super fun to try! (Blind was the hardest by a good margin)... I do wish there was more to it though (maybe a bonus set), this set is one of those you can master by just playing through the game once, and there's a lot more to the game in terms of secrets or challenges (as well as a lot of powerful glitches that open up a lot of possibilities) that didn't get explored by the achievements.
24 Feb 2022 16:47		Mastered! Classic Game
4 Mar 2022 21:07		Dominado! Ganon maldito >.<
6 Mar 2022 12:39		MASTERED! - First Zelda game I ever played. Go back to it every year. In my top 3 Zeldas for sure. 10/10, would plat again.
12 Mar 2022 1:55		I just realized, this game is missing a "hookshot" and "firerod" achievement
2 Apr 2022 1:01		Mastered! One of the best Games Eva! Overall a really easy Set. OoT was harder. Maybe a Revision in the Future? :-D
3 Apr 2022 1:16		I submitted a Bonus set with some hard achievements and easter egg achievements that JAM will be reviewing and publishing since I'm retired.
18 Apr 2022 1:46		Shouldn’t a lot of these be marked with (M) as they’re no harm bosses? Or something I’m not remembering?
21 Apr 2022 3:02		Mastered!
26 Apr 2022 13:25		@Kamikoopa right now marking missable as [m] is optional and decided by the developers whether they want it to be included with their achievement set or not but you are correct yes, all damageless bosses aside from Ganon are missable.
26 Apr 2022 13:27		I've apparently never posted it here but for the people interested, an achievement guide for this game is available over at the RetroAchievements GitHub wiki! https://github.com/RetroAchievements/guides/wiki/The-Legend-of-Zelda,-A-Link-to-the-Past-(SNES)
14 May 2022 5:32		Mastered! great set
17 May 2022 17:01		Mastered! Easy Easy.
