In my opinion, this game is a product of its time - I played this game 6-7 years after its initial release on the N64, and even then I couldn't find myself to play it beyond the 2nd dungeon.

Unfortunately, I found this game to be incredibly boring and it couldn't keep my attention. Perhaps, I should give the remastered version on the 3DS a chance since it is so highly touted as being one of the best.
