Beating every Zelda in timeline order 7/20:
I had never played this one before, and Four Swords Adventures surprised me a lot. Coming from Four Swords, I wasn't looking forward to playing this, but this is just a purely fun experience. Condensing 2D Zelda into a focused, segmented level-by-level game creates a beautifully paced, wholly fun experience. Playing single-player might not be the way the game is meant to be played, but it works remarkably well and using the four links in puzzles and combat is a lot of fun. Speaking of puzzles, there were a lot more than I was expecting that really required some out-of-the-box thinking. I especially enjoy the levels that are a condensed area that you have to talk to people and trade weapons to progress through. Pretty much every level was fun, the bosses were unique and enjoyable, even when borrowed from Wind Waker. My only real complaint is that you're not going to get anything terribly interesting in the story or the locales offered. It's pretty standard Zelda fare. And it's pretty easy, since the Force Fairies are completely broken.
It feels really good to thoroughly enjoy something that's as fun and rewarding to play as this. I only wish I had played Four Swords Adventures sooner. I was missing out.
