It's not often that someone come and succeed to outplay Nintendo at one of their core series. But Konami did with this one.
Some think that the GBA/DS Igavania are even superior, but imo, Symphony of the Night is still the very best 2D Metroid-like game ever made. It's beautiful, somehow scary and intimidating, hypnotising, accessible... A masterpiece that everyone must play.

The game lost a lot of its soul because of the new artstyle (it does look good ! But it's not the same mood that the original game had), but all the glorious QOL features make up for it.
Only disappointment gameplay wise is the change to the tools, to make for a more traditional SOS experience when it comes to upgrading your tools. Makes a lot of friendship not so useful in this version, as you had to become friends with the villages to get better tools.

9 years later and still struggling to see any game coming close to its freedom and creativity of gameplay beyond Zelda BOTW and TOTK.
You can pretty much do anything in this game. You can make your horse shit on the road. Or ask your naked sniper girlfriend to shoot a grenade you just threw to make a ricochet. Or deliver a box of supply from the sky on the head of a boss to defeat it.
The only thing you can't do in this game is take a piss wherever you want (you are forced to use the toilets of your Mother Base...), but Kojima course corrected that in his next game Death Stranding. Truly a genius mind.
