As someone who loved the creative style of the CDI Zelda games, I’m honestly just surprised and happy this game exists.
It looks great, the cutscenes are still charming, it feels good to play, and there are lots of extra side quests and collectibles even with the shorter main campaign. There’s definitely some jank with the vague progression, instakill pits, and enemy swarming in the late game, but maybe that’s just committing to the bit. I still enjoyed Arzette and I hope this team does more with it in the future.
