I played this recently despite phantom hourglass being my first zelda over a decade ago... and I really liked it! I loved using the train, zelda as the companion was a really interesting decision, and the bosses were really cool. My main gripes were that most sidequests were delivery missions and those parts where you had to blow in the microphone to play the flute. It was fine for the most part except wuen you had to play it with the lokomos because it was very hard to gauge what it actually wanted and how to do it correctly in time. The beedle rewards thing seems horrendous to do so I didn't do it. Overall I really enjoyed the game! I don't really understand why it's so overlooked.
