always saw this as the weaker predecessor to two better games i'd rather be playing (ocarina and link between worlds) but y'know what, it's not half bad! dungeon design, music and combat hold up well and once you adjust to how arcade-y it feels comparatively to later zeldas, it's a pretty engrossing world to kill a couple hours in.

majority of its female characters being collectable dungeon trinkets to get "rescued" and then leave forever is still extremely cringe, tho. minus half a star right there.
