When going into this, I expected a frustrating, poorly aged experience which has incredibly vague puzzle design and limited scope. I am happy to report this didn't come to fruition (mostly).

I played the entire game without a guide (besides one puzzle at the start) and got through it quite well. I wasn't stuck that often, each solution felt obvious, and with the help of the phone guy, I was always on the right path. Even the item trading quest wasn't a big deal. I liked how bite size this game feels, dungeons can be cleared in less than 20 minutes on average, the world isn't too big, it's got very fast pacing which is nice. Eagle tower sucked, but the rest of the dungeons were fire.

Graphics are great, I like the art style, it may have a lot of jaggy edges, but the game is one of the better looking Switch games still. The framerate is... something, in dungeons its fine but the overworld does have consistent slowdown.

The story though is surprisingly endearing and proposes a lot of ethical questions even though it isn't dialogue or cutscene heavy. The implications of Link's actions are interesting, and the ending was pretty powerful to me. I liked this approach to story telling, one of my favorite Zelda stories imo.

To conclude, awesome 8 hour game
