A game truly filled with soul. Much like ALTTP the world is fun to explore, dungeons are satisfying to complete, bosses are enjoyable and unique compared to other 2D zeldas (albeit a tad easy). Much of the game's charm stems from it being isolated from the usual zelda elements and the story manages to be delightfully odd and somber at the same time. The dialogue in this game in particular felt a lot more lively and creative than other zeldas, I just wish there was more of it so the ending would have more of an impact. That being said, the little moments you can spend with Marin are a joy and every interaction with the owl felt fittingly dreamlike. I don't really have any complaints except the drums sound bad, turtle rock is annoying to explore, and I hate that you need to read about the "new feature" of the compass every time you pick one up.
