I can see the vision, and why some many like it, it was just too frustrating. The puzzles aren’t intuitive at all and finding all of the vital pieces of information is exhausting. It looks and sounds incredibly pretty but the gameplay aspect is a bit of a letdown. Also the final loop is infuriating to have to re-try. Having to just sit and wait 6 and a half minutes is not good game design.

I can see why people love it so much, it’s oozing charm and creativity and is super memorable. That being said I would not have been able to remotely enjoy that without save states. There’s so many frustrating parts and the camara is somehow worse the Mario 64.

Solid 2D Zelda with some weird decisions made. Basically impossible to 100% because of the mystery shells, and other pieces of heart are really annoying also. Weird difficulty scaling, but some of the best 2D dungeons in the series. Shrinking is a great idea but I feel like it’s a bit under utilized at times. Ezlo is annoying. Overall pretty good but confusing decisions sometimes.
