This is my first 2D Zelda I have ever played to completion. I had dabbled in Link to the Past and Four Swords intermittently throughout my years, but I've never had the interest to sit down and complete one. My friends had played this and recommended it as a first traditional Zelda, so I finally gave it a go.
Overall? A pretty decent time. Story was kinda neat, about what I expected. There's a real childlike whim about the characters, creatures, and environment. The visuals are gorgeous, and the music was very cute/upbeat. This style of remake is something I wish they gave Pokemon BDSP, although this game being a 60$ spend at launch is a bit much for how short it is.
Gameplay was a real slow burn. I feel like a lot of appeal of 2D Zelda is simple controls with puzzles the whole length of the game, but man I felt so slow and a bit bored from the start to about the 6th dungeon. It felt like there was when the game really was engaging to play.
If you can borrow it or get it really discounted I'd say its worth your time. I'd love to see a lot more of these kinds of remakes.
