I liked this one, but the dungeons felt kind of underwhelming and forgettable. The puzzles were mostly fun but I just felt they lacked any independent themes. Usually, I can recall a few standout dungeons from each game but for this one, I can't say I can differentiate them and I just played it through over the last few days.

Aside from that, the visuals are nice. The overworld is fun and the weird tone is the game's greatest strength. The story is basic, as per Zelda, but it has one of the best endings in the series.

I also found the performance a little lacking. In both docked and handheld modes there were frame drops all the time in the overworld when there really didn't need to be; this is a remake of a game boy game. I want to jump in with the original at some point now it's on NSO so I can compare.
