Looks like this is the last game I can play before I finally need a kneeling chair for my desktop. Between this and The Minish Cap I guess I just can’t get through a Zelda game without injuring myself.

Out of all the non LTTP Zeldas I like this one the best. The hero in this one is finally a real person! He wants something very specific and he makes choices to get that thing, and he reacts to what other people say and do to him. Check out this little scene, for example. It’s sad cause he misses granma Link! And then it’s funny, because Tetra is a sassy pants to Link! He emotes now! The whole game is like this too, a cute lil Link who does cute fun stuff and then there’s fun sailing to get lost in if you want the heart pieces and sometimes the dungeons and fetch quests are a little bit of pain in the ass. You know, a real Zelda game! Oh, but it’s not a hundred hours long with a huge sandbox open world that’s been repurposed twice and full of swords that break after ten swings, so I guess it’s not the greatest game of all time

Also, thank you everyone on www.backloggd.com for letting me know about the late-game triforce fetch quest. It's exactly the kind of blatant padding I don't want to participate in, and a major reason why I just put in a code that put the triforce already on my hand. In-emulator cheats are a hell of a drug. I suppose I should take off a star because I'm sure I would have disliked it if I DID choose to make it my problem, so, four stars.

Also, why is the wind palace earthy and the earth palace windy?
