A community member touched hearts with his story about his late father’s save files on “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.” His dad always used the first save slot, while he used the second. Though his father passed away in 2008, the player hasn’t altered his dad’s game, feeling disconnected when playing it now. This story led others to reminisce about their own special game saves and the significance of backing them up, particularly with older systems like the Super Nintendo that use battery-dependent cartridges. It’s a testament to the deep emotional bonds that video games can forge, as they become keepsakes of cherished moments.
My most precious save file: My dad's Zelda saves.

He was always the first slot. Mine second.
He passed away in 2008.
I will never delete those files. https://t.co/oR6HtIoCp8 pic.twitter.com/eDVtphi0Eq
