Still one of my favorite Zelda games. A lot of it is a remake of A Link to the Past, but it basically just takes everything from that game and makes it significantly better. Dungeons are great with a lot of unique mechanics that make them far more than just remixes of ALttP's dungeons. Bosses are pretty similar to ALttP's, but still much improved upon. I also love the wall merging mechanic and how it allows for tons of creative puzzles throughout the game.

I can kind of understand the complaints about progression with the item renting system, as you can buy all of them super early into the game which can kind of ruin the mystique of what you'll find in each dungeon. However, it never really bothered me. I feel like the Maiamai hunting to upgrade your arsenal helps make the progression more interesting. Rupees being your main reward doesn't really matter since this is one of the few Zelda games where you don't have those dumb wallet upgrades and where rupees are actually really useful.

I've also always really loved the story of this game. There's not that much, but for what little there is, it's surprisingly interesting. The ending especially is fantastic and super satisfying.

The worst thing about this game is finding out that the guy who directed it is now working on the 1-2-Switch games, which might be the biggest demotion in video game history.
