This review contains spoilers

I was reluctant to play that game for some reason. Probably because of its age, I guess... And I thought all the praise it got was exaggerated. But oh boy was I wrong!

It turned out to be one of my favorite zelda games. Definitely one of the best OST in the franchise.
The combat aged really well with the Z-targeting, and the dungeons have great puzzles.

The story is so captivating, with Link going back in time, getting help from Sheik and exploring a desolated Hyrule after the 7 years skip. By the way, I didn't see the plot twist coming, with Sheik who turned out to be Zelda. It was neat!

In retrospect, the thing I enjoyed the most about the game is being lost, having to figure out where to go, or what I have to do. There were so many moments where I was completely clueless, and had to get hints by talking to the NPCs, trying out different items in different parts of the map, etc...
