This was my first Zelda game. It still holds up extremely well and in my opinion is among of the greatest games on the SNES. The joys of exploration it brings for me are nearly unmatched by other 2D Zeldas, the only one rivaling it being, perhaps ironically, A Link Between Worlds. My only real complaint is that I don't like how combat-focused the dungeons are, especially in the Dark World. It feels like a relic of Zelda 1's dungeon design.
