I’ve tried to play this game like 4 times, but I could never get into it. It always just started too slow for me and I despised the tears of light stages. Once I got past the early game, it is evident that this game perfects the Zelda formula in almost every way. The only “Zelda” aspect this game is kind of lacking in is the side quests. There is like 4 total and 2 are poes and bugs.

Dungeon design is peak. Most of the dungeon themes are things that have been done before, but they are still unique and stand out. Personally, I felt challenged by the puzzles, but never got stuck anywhere for more than 10 minutes. One thing that I wish was more challenging though is the combat. Although if it was, it would kind of be annoying to do with the wiimote.

This game is just token Zelda, but that’s not a bad thing at all. It’s honestly very refreshing coming off of playing a ton of Botw and Totk. Top 4 Zelda
