Had never finished this game as a kid, as the time mechanic and general "weird" vibes of the game held me back from enjoying it as much as OoT. Wanted to give it the fair shake it deserved and went back to play it while following along with a guide. The guide helped me remove any friction i'd definitely still run into if I organically went through this game. What I got was probably the best story a Zelda game has ever told. A story about loss and friendship. Some awesome dungeons, secrets and great characters make this the memorable masterpiece that sits side by side with Ocarina of TIme as two of the best games ever made.

Return to form for the Prince of Persia series. Amazing combat with an anime flair in the cut scenes. Some devilishly difficult platforming that can be tuned to your preferred difficulty. However, I do feel like the inputs aren't 100% perfect sometimes and can lead to some frustrating deaths. One of the few games I got the platinum for because its pretty obtainable. That said, oof the backtracking is the worst I have experienced in a while. This gripe really only pertains to trophy cleanup post game, so not a huge deal. Ubisoft games are always on sale so this is an easy recommend!
