one of my fav games of all time, it goes through such a powerful journey with Mae who in the end just wants her old life back. The art style is super unique and loveable, the music is like 10/10 and fits every scene perfectly, the story of the game too is maybe the best part of it all, there is a main part to the story but you have so many options that you could literally do everything or just do as little as possible.
Each character is very unique and you can pick and choose whether or not to hang out with them or not or make new friends, her main group of friends tho is the highlight of the game and getting to know each individual one personally feels really rewarding.
A lot of people may not get into it because it is extremely dialogue heavy with only some minigames inbetween but if you are looking for an emotional, cartoony, well-written video game this is the perfect thing.

One of the saddest games I've ever played, it somehow perfectly balances light-hearted, childish and goofy with dark, depressing and serious. Its one of my favourite games all the characters that are meant to be loveable are extremely loveable and all the characters your supposed to hate are extremely horrible.
The gameplay is extremely fun and uses an interesting gimmick where you can attack enemies on beat with music making you do extra damage, all party members are very unique gameplay-wise as well as story-wise.
Its the most story orientated game out of the mother series but it blends perfectly well into the gameplay and eventually becomes more gameplay orientated half-way through the game.
I do feel like this is game is maybe for a specific taste but if you are ever in the mood to play through all of it you 100% should do so

One of the first zelda games I played, it was incredibly fun, the aesthetic of this game is just so charming its hard to not like it, it introduces the Koroks which are like the best zelda race ever they are super cute but extremely mysterious at the same time, it also brings back Tingle who is just the best.
This game does a lot of stuff right its just a lot of the side quests can become same-y over time and personally I'm not a fan of the overall progression, especially the triforce hunt at the end.
Overall a really great zelda game and one of my fav's, it's also a great game to play randomized

its absolutely incredible, pretty much fixed everything generic about OOC and made it unique, exciting and fun. Its got this extremely dark atmosphere about it giving it a creepy otherworld-y vibe, the 3 day cycle can be pretty stressful but if you learn how to slow down time everything becomes much more relaxed. Hundreds of fun unique side-quests, you get to learn about nearly all the characters and its Tingle's first appearance (who is the best zelda character). The only downside is it has only 4 dungeons and 2 out of the 4 can be pretty tedious, everything else is super fun, definitely worth playing if your getting into the zelda franchise
