Not a Zelda game but a Zelda game. Tougher than nails and quirky. Fun but maddening. Gave it a higher rating because it has the slappiest soundtrack of all the Zelda games.
Yeah, it's not great. Dungeon design is lame, and the rpg leveling mechanics feel out of place. I wouldn't have beat this without a guide and rewind features - but with those, it's not a bad time.
