worse than a used heroin needle
This game is literally garbage. i can remember being in 7th grade when it was announced and i almost crapped my pants. i was so excited i began to save every penny i earned for the next month. then it happened, i finally achieved what had felt like the greatest thing to ever happen in my entire 12 years of life. At first i was in denial. I was so excited because, well, its a zelda game. I was not prepared in the slightest for a let down, so i completely ignored overly simple enemies and painfully long train rides. Next i got angry. i was running out of patience having to run all over this world and spending 7 minutes going from one town to the next, so i can return the way i came except with one extra note on my map. understand that i was 12 at the time and may have been a little impatient, but there is never a reason to make me spend 15 minutes play chicken with an AI so i can deliver ice to rock monsters for garbage rewards. after a couple of days i began bargaining with my self, "if i get an action replay, maybe there will be warp hacks". sadly there were no warp hacks i could find. after 3 temples i just got depressed. i wanted to finish the game because it cost me a lot of money, but it was so slow and redundant. the issues with this game escalated from 3rd temple+ with "puzzles" that had you running around islands ad staying on them for 3 seconds so i could travel more. at some point i just accepted the fact that i physically could not enjoy the game and no amount of hacks or time invested in it could fix that. i then returned that small piece of garbage to Gamestop for 2 dollars of my next purchase. In the end id say 1/10- way more repetive and simple than other zelda games, and any attempts to break its monotonous gameplay were similar to throwing ketchup at a wall and saying you're "painting it". if you ever consider playing this game, don't
