I liked this one feeling more compacted in comparison to Link to the Past still had lots of depth to it and the story it had from the few lines and little cutscene is cute and compelling. I liked how this one has Mario and to an extent Kirby's enemies and had similar functionality in the gameplay like jumping on Goombas to get hearts like hey that's pretty neat also new power-ups and items were cool the roc feather was great, my boy Link got hops now. In conclusion, the Ballad of the Wing Fish song is goated.

After playing Zelda 1 I can appreciate this game since it builds on the concept of its open world and weapon collectible with such massive upgrades in terms of the visuals. The art style looks incredible with very cute sprites along with its iconic soundtrack. Something like The Dark World theme, Fairy Fountain, and Dark Mist are truly timeless. The game is filled with many more items and unique secrets but, they are still very convoluted and would require lots of backtracking so a guide would be suggested to get through. I like how this time around there are more healing items like the fairies in a bottle are super nice. I think this one is worth playing since it's what lays the foundation of future 2D Zelda titles.
