While staying true to the classic formula, it goes for a serious tone with a both dark and visually stunning atmosphere, surely one of the game's strongest points. It greatly balances itself between two different styles, light and shadow, that coexist really nicely in the adventure, alongside an incredibly varied OST composed of joyful and action-packed songs while also bringing obscure ones that you could find in a Silent Hill game. Gameplay-wise, its premise surrounds the possibility of switching between normal Link and Wolf Link, both having their own set of movements and skills, bringing a ton of variety, especially in the first form, with a huge object arsenal to complete puzzles with and a great array of combat options that extend during gameplay. While normal Link feels great to play and has a great variety of movements and items, I felt that Wolf Link slowly fell behind more and more as the game advanced since it doesn't really mechanically progress at all, making its sections a bit tedious to go through and letting him feel more like another Link resource rather than a separate form. Exploration-wise, Hyrule Map is really huge and packed with secrets to discover, and while Hyrule Field feels empty and a bit tedious to travel through overall, making it feel better to just teleport, temples are an absolute joy to explore and complete, each filled with satisfying puzzles to solve, really varied and thematically different settings, and very creative and fun to defeat bosses. Story-wise, while I felt that the events told worked mostly fine, the characters were surely the greatest part of it, with one of the best versions of Link ever, Midna being a fantastic companion and one of the best characters in the franchise and a phenomenal cast of secondary characters with different and great personalities, dialogue that changes depending on which events are happening in the story or if you are transformed, and great character development. On the other hand, there's also a few that could have been way more, but ended up feeling really unused and underdeveloped, making some events feel a bit unstatisfying. While it's true that the game has its flaws, its atmosphere and mechanic variety make for a great game.
