A true delight.
It takes the formula of "A Link to the Past" and perfectly reinterprets it for handheld.
Every Dungeon is fun and interesting, and even though they may take a while, never drag.
The addition of the Roc's Feather makes a surprisingly big difference; the movement felt more fluid and fun than any previous game.
The world and story, while bite-sized, had a surprising emotional depth, and I still wonder what the ramifications the Wind Fish has on Zelda lore.
Last of all the wonderful soundtrack ties it all together perfectly.
I don't have much to say about its shortcomings. There are maybe one or two points where the puzzles are a little unclear, and it would be nice to have more buttons to map items to, but overall, the game is nearly flawless.
I've probably rated it higher than some other Zelda games which I think are better games, but I had so much fun with it that I couldn't rate it objectively.
