This game feels like one of the most passion-project, "needed to happen" sequels of all time and yet it was entirely unplanned while being developed under a one year time limit. If that isn't the Zelda team at their peak, I sure as hell don't know what is.
I'm so glad I played this game organically because I can tell the ending wouldn't have messed me up as much as it did if I hadn't, and although when I played the 3ds version 8 years ago, I still liked the ending a lot, I relied heavily on a walkthrough for a, frankly, simplified version of the gameplay present in the original. If their was ever a Nintendo game that falls under the umbrella of "masterpiece" to me, especially considering the minute time utilized to concieve of, create, and release it? This would be that game.
