It’s a very charming Zelda game. Great music, a very expressive art style. I’ve never noticed how much of a sequel this was to Ocarina of Time. Quite satisfying for me to have some sort of acknowledged continuity. I only had a few issues in my adventure on the great sea, one major factor being pacing. It just felt that the pacing was a bit off during this game. Especially the Triforce collecting sequence. Some of the trials for these shards just felt uninspired. The Earth and Wind Temple weren’t really well designed imo. It’s strange that bird lady is sage of the Earth Temple and the tree lad is sage of the Wind Temple. These are just my issues I had during my personal experience with the game, and I understand not everyone will feel the same in these regards. There was one thing I especially loved about this game though, the final act.

The final act was purely captivating. I was tearing up just reading Ganondorf’s monologue. Very well spoken, as if you can actually feel the emotion of his words through the voiceless text. This Ganondorf has earned my admiration.
