This game is like 🤏 THIS close to being one of the strongest Zelda games with its story, characters, dungeons, the music, and my god most of the bosses (it has one of my favorite final bosses in Zelda, if not one of my favorite ones ever), but man it really has some of the worst pacing and padding I've experienced in a video game.
I get that they wanted to stretch the game's length out and they had to redo the whole thing at one point, but it is extremely tiring having to revisit the same areas 3 or even 4 times just to fetch an item, having to prove you're a hero AGAIN like you haven't done it twice over, or to outright waste time because the game loves to do that. It feels so held back from how it could've ultimately been, its wack, I'm just glad the HD version fixes some of the glaring problems with the original game.
With that being said FUCK having to fight the Imprisoned 3 times who the fuck thought that was a good idea??? The boss wasn't even good the first time around, probably top 3 in worst Zelda bosses ever man
