That was my first SNES game and it instantly changed my perception of games of that era. Didn't expect it to look and feel so modern, like something I would expect from a recent indie rather than actual retro.
The gameplay is essentially TLoZ 2.0 - same formula, but improved and expanded, making it a timeless banger. It's cool how many known features of the franchise were first established in this game and and remained for decades.
The visuals are gorgeous and the soundtrack slaps, especially the dark world theme. Great game and a solid starting point for the newcomers IMO.
