Really not sure why so many people rate this game similarly to the likes of Link's Awakening and A Link to the Past. It's fine, but feels quite generic and sanitized compared to most other games in the series. For a game that was outsourced and not made by Nintendo, it has some really impressive ideas and great music, but also has more than its fair share of annoying segments and boring levels. I remember being quite annoyed with the final boss, too, but maybe I was just playing wrong (lol).
