I've been ever so slowly chipping away at this since the SNES NSO launched. Every now and then just dipping back in for an hour here and there, a few months apart. The dark world can be a real grind, and it's about halfway through that my play through became much more fragmented.

I think the last time I actually beat the game was when the SNES was still a current generation console. I've picked it up for pretty much every console it's been available on but that dark world hump always got me. But I persevered and had a really good time. In brief stages over the course of a couple of years.

It's still an incredible game. It still makes me go wow even after 30 years. It's such a great game with so many secrets and surprises and its roots grow into so many brilliant games to come. I can see why a lot of people say this is the best one (it isn't) and I will probably keep coming back to this until the end my time on this cursed earth.

But first, I think I might charge the 3DS and give a Link Between World's another play through.
