This was a solid game. It has issues, but I still enjoyed myself.

The combat was pretty fun. I liked the available moves and how you had to vary them to combat certain enemies/bosses. The enemies in this game had interesting designs and all were sufficiently different than each other giving the game a lot of variety. The bosses were good, they weren't super difficult though. The one I had trouble with the most was King Darius who I had around ten tries against. For all of the other bosses, I beat them on my first try or at most my 3rd try. Some other standouts were the Orod, Vahram, and Azhdaha fights.

The movement in the game is fluid at times with some slight jank. I like the platforming and find it to be more challenging than some of the bosses at times. Some platforming sections took me many tries, but it was pretty satisfying once I did them. There is the jankiness though. Sometimes spikes creep out over edges when they shouldn't.

The story is the weakest part of the game. I didn't find any of the characters interesting. I wasn't impressed by any of their performances either. I know the story isn't the focal point of a game like this, but it is still part of it.

Overall the game was fun, but it's not the shining example of the genre.

I think this game was fun. It's not the best the series offers, but it is a good time with friends. I enjoyed working together in a team to solve Zelda puzzles, it wasn't something I had experienced before. The levels were fine mostly and the puzzles weren't overly easy or unreasonable.

Some of the levels were uninteresting or just lacking. Some puzzles and bosses were frustrating due to only being able to aim in eight directions. The game had some bugs that caused us to reset levels sometimes. I also don't love handheld gaming in general.

Overall I had a good time with this. I like co-op gaming experiences.
