A good game hindered by some questionable design decisions and technical shortcomings.

The core gameplay idea and loop are good and implemented in the right way could make this game or a possible successor a truly great action adventure game but in this first iteration too many things just don'T click perfectly.

There are numerous technical problems like extremely long loading times, loading stutters while in game, noticable drops in performance and some progress-killings bugs.

Additionally, some of the levels are just too big and because of no fast-travel system in the levels themselves big levels tend to annoy instead of spike curiosity.

The story is a little unfocused and the main character isn't that interesting.

Gameplay-wise the game feels mostly fine, however the "Dark Souls"-style fights weren't that good or enjoyable which made me tune the difficulty down to "easy" to get through the bigger challenges without too much frustration and loading (loading times after dying were awful as well).

Still, the game had its high moments, some very nice side characters and I feel like its a good starting point for a series that hopefully will continue to iterate on the good core concepts laid out here.

I'd put this game under the title "mildly interesting". It often evokes a curiosity in the player but from my perspective fails to reward it. Instead the game seems to be confident to just stay confusing and never really resolve anything.

I found the predecessor a lot more engaging because the setup was clearer.

Still, the mechanics weren't bad and there were some really fun and/or surprising sections.

I was pleasantly surprised by this game, it's one of the best "classic" 3D Zeldas I've played. The graphical style holds up really well and all the QoL improvements do seem to help this game a lot.

Despite some problems like a still annoying camera (although much improved over the original), a confusing upgrade and crafting system and some minor pacing / repetition issues this is a very good game.

Characters, setting and overall feel of this game are great, as are most of the areas you visit and re-visit. Dungeons and Locations are well laid out and memorable.

I didn't like the fighting system too much (I played with button controls), the sword direction-thing just didn't work well for me. Maybe its really good when playing wiht motion controls.

Overall a really good game that I gladly completed in around 35 hours.
