My second ever Zelda game, played on emulator. Obviously one of the less-enjoyed entries in the franchise, but for me I quite enjoyed it. Linebeck was great, and although the stylus was annoying, I did enjoy drawing notes and writing reminders for myself. Looking back, traversing through the Temple of the Ocean King again and again and again does suck. But when I was playing it, I honestly didn't know any better, and didn't mind my time with it - if I got frustrated, I was just like dang I should've done better. Sailing around and unlocking parts of the map was neat, trying to catch Beedle was fun, and the sidequests to get Heart Containers and treasure chests and such were unique. Bosses pretty cool. Overworld puzzling was fun.

But yea, traversal and combat with touch controls is still bad.
