Replayed this gem on the Switch this year and can't believe how well it holds up. It's the perfect adventure, the dream-like atmosphere creates a melancholic vibe that will never cease to make me emotional. The game also has one of the catchiest rendition of the Zelda overworld theme. The narrative is present just enough to make you feel engaged with the world, and bosses like to remind you that progressing in the adventure means slowly erasing the island from reality. Link's unavoidable awakening is a looming threat all throughout your journey in Cocolint. It is what you're working towards while dreading the moment it'll occur.

It's perfectly paced, silly and beautiful and uses its hardware limitation to the best of its capacities. The game's 8-bit soundtrack enchanted me back when I was a child and continues to do so to this day. Not the most impressive game but the dearest to my heart.
