IGN placed Secret of Mana as number 15 on their "Top 100 RPGs of All Time" list and here is what IGN had to say.

"How many of us remember a waterfall, a rusty sword, and a faithful fall into the depths beneath our village? The opening of Secret of Mana began a legendary, well-loved journey to prevent the end of the world. Its heroes -- a boy, a girl, and a lovable sprite -- made an unlikely, yet still fitting, team to undo the evil plots threatening civilization. And the kinetic, customizable battle system solidified Secret of Mana among the ranks of the RPG great. As we rescued elemental spirits and hunted for weapon orbs, who would have thought we were participating in video game history?"
