This game released in a very awkward time for Nintendo games, being primarily designed for the Game Boy color. The overall scope and length of the game is considerably improved over Link's Awakening, but offers little nothing more in its gameplay. The Rod of Seasons mechanic is definitely very well thought out but the dungeons came across as a tad bit tedious to me. Still a fun game, but when compared to other portable Zelda titles it does not seem to be up to par.
