Imagine The Legend of Zelda right.

Only with amazing, trailblazing writing, which respects your intelligence. Godlike presentation in general, especially for 1999 and voice acting which holds up better than most voice work today.

Paired with tedious godawful gameplay, which is so incompetent at times that it's almost like a joke.

Can't recommend a playthrough but do watch the cutscenes on youtube. It's honestly astounding for 1999. Amy Hennig is fucking cracked man.
