I played this game as a kid when it released and remembered not liking it very much. I remembered almost nothing about it. I didn’t remember a single boss fight or temple, like it was really wiped from my mind.

I wanted to play through it again because people always talk about how they love this game, but I found it really lacking and annoying at times.

Having to redo things each time you resets time made the game feel more like a chore. I understand that your going back in time, but it did not make for good gameplay.

I made it to the moon, but I’m burnt out at this point and a little under powered. I did not do any of the side quests as having to redo a bunch of stuff sounds terrible. I don’t want to get 3/4th through a side quest only to have to reset time.

Before resetting, I have to deposit money, then reset, then stock up my items again, and redo all the things I need to do to get back to where I was.

I have to admit that it is really original and a cool concept, but it does not work in practice.

I still put oot and wind Waker at the top of the 3d Zelda’s. (Not counting the switch games)

At this point, I’ll boot up oot and play through that again. I vividly remember child links part of the game and a decent amount of adult link. After that, I’ll try the master quest. I remember that being difficult and I never completed it when I was a kid.

    Since I’m dreading the side quest stuff, I’m thinking of just getting a complete save file so I can check out the final boss fight. Since I beat it as a kid, I don’t feel bad about cheating to get to it.

      I would recommend at least playing through, or maybe watching a video of, Anju and Kafei’s Quest. No other video game side quest has depressed me as much as that one did lol

        It seems what everyone really loved about this game are the story lines. I don’t care much for storylines in gaming. I just want some fun games.

        There are a few exceptions, but it’s not what I’m looking for in a Zelda game.
