Aside from some bosses on hard mode being an absolute slog, this game has held up over the last 20 years. Yes it doesn't have fast travel, there's lots of backtracking, and the Chozo Ghost fights are annoying. But it looks gorgeous, the gameplay is slick, the bosses are ace, and the menu music is still the greatest menu music of all time. What a start to Retro's incredible list of games.
