Missing Sprite

I've been getting into classic gaming and recently purchased a copy of The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past. I've noticed that, when the game first starts, I can't see the character of Link. He's on the board and I can move him about, but he's invisible. Once I manage to get him out of his house, I can see him again. But, once I get to the castle, he disappears again. Any suggestions?

 

Are you running your SNES on a modern TV ? Last TVs modify sprites and graphical elements of retro games. Some sprites can be invisible like the issue you have. I recently got htis problem on Super Mario All Star when playing SNES by a friend house.
