Not the flashiest Zelda, or the most cinematic, its not a masterpiece and its not quite a classic. But I think its the most pure puzzle focused fun Zelda game I've played.
The Temple of the Ocean King is not that bad. The boat is about equally as good as the train from Spirit Tracks. And this game really makes me love the Nintendo DS touchscreen and all the neat mechanics it could do.

There's a fun game with awesome combat underneath all the unfair tricks of NES era games.
Combat encounters are insufferable in the late game. Exploration is really punishing as a result, despite that being the one of main selling points of the game. On the other hand, boss fights and dungeon crawling are actually pretty fun and you can see the later Zelda game DNA in that.
Fetch quests and hints are really obtuse and hard to understand. For one quest you have to look for a mirror, which is found by stabbing under a table in the same town as the quest giver. This mechanic is never repeated anywhere else in the game.
Out of all Zelda games, this one is most in need of a remake. Only play this game with a guide, a rewind function, or hack to make the game easier.
