I've met with a terrible fate, haven't I?
After the tutorial, this game felt really hostile. I was so unbelievably frustrated with this game at times. Playing these older Zelda games leave me in a cycle of banging my head against the wall, then giving in and googling it, then being unreasonably upset at myself for not realizing it and having to rely on google. Whatever. I beat most of it myself. Didn't have to look up anything for the temples except the 4th one. My main issues were advancing the questlines because some steps are incredibly specific.
2 bosses gave me an extremely hard time. Twinmold on a 1dmg sword changes a man. I still think that that boss is terribly designed and wonky to fight properly.
I am really disappointed in myself for not figuring out the Kafei quest, but at the same time it does seem extremely convoluted. Every time I tried to advance it I hit a roadblock, despite the fact that my actions seemed logical. I tried everything. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I need to do to get this purple haired son of a bitch to talk to me. I gave up. No fierce deity mask for me.
But still, even after all that, it's magical. The atmosphere of this game is unmatched. I found clock town to be a really effective way to get me attached to the world and characters because you spend so much time in there. The way the game utilizes the timeloop mechanic is unique, I have never played anything quite like this.
I think the pros outweigh the cons. At it's core, this game is an experience like no other. The concept is amazing and for a game released in the year 2000 I think they pulled most of it off.
I forgive my friend. I like this game now.
