This game is extremely impressive for an OG Game Boy title. It has all the things we've come to expect from Zelda (cool dungeons, great music, fun bosses, a wide open world to explore) with an added layer of GB charm and a surprisingly deep and emotional story. I love how this game questions whether experiences and emotions in a dream world can truly be considered 'real' or not. When Link defeats the final boss and escapes from the dream world, he must also, in a way, destroy all of the friends he made and adventures he had. That satisfying, yet somber ending truly sets this game apart from the rest of the series, and is something I've yet to experience again in a video game.
