My first Zelda game! I was pretty young when I started playing it, so I would mostly enjoy flying around the sky map and buying pumpkin soup, for whatever reason. I dropped it after getting scared of the Silent Realms (did I mention I was very young?) but all the characters I met have a special place in my heart. Link and Zelda are Very cute in this and Groose is my little funnyman.

The gameplay is nothing to write home about, I think responsive sword slashing could be an excellent mechanic but hardware limitations and mediocre execution keep it from being immersive in any capacity. I do wonder how that feels on the Switch, but I don't think the game is particularly creative with the use of it so I doubt there's much improvement. That said, I always appreciate seeing Nintendo trying new things when it comes to mechanics specifically, and being bold enough to do it on their mainline series, I do personally like motion controls but it's just a fact that sword slashing felt way better in wii sports resorts. You gotta start somewhere!
