Turns out that putting an extremely fresh coat of paint on a game from 1993 doesn't actually change the 1993 game design. In general the game is decently fun, although it doesn't feel as engaging as it ought to. All this on top of the game having a very weird story. It's definitely an interesting ending, but Link's actions don't feel justified. For what real reason must Link awaken? It's hard to determine what this strange metaphor is going for, so at the end of the game you've deleted a small community from existence seemingly just to stop a few monsters from existing.
