Had a good time with this game. Zelda CD-I but made good. They do their best to emulate the cutscenes, which is obviously one of the main draws. They do a good enough job emulating the style where it matters most although it's clearly not the same. You can tell when cutscenes were made by different artists. It doesn't matter much but the few cutscenes that are obviously traced 3d models were really distracting. References to CD-I and other video games were eye rollers at times.

The gameplay is inoffensive enough that I wasn't getting bored. Going for 100% will have you revisiting stages many times which isn't optimal, but they're short enough that it's not a major waste. Only a few secrets were a bit more troublesome to find. Sucks that all achievements requires multiple playthroughs.
