    It was even better than The Legend of Zelda.

    I liked it a lot (beat the entire thing just earlier this year actually) but I still love Clash at Demonhead more than any other NES title out there.

    "I have it after a Wii Friend sent it as a gift, I have only played a little so far but would love to find the time to get stuck into it as I have heard great things about it.

    Saying it's better than LOZ is a mighty grand claim."
    I honestly would not compare the two personally as they are way different. StarTropics is wayyyy more puzzle heavy than Zelda is honestly and a lot harder at that. It also plays a bit differently like allowing you to jump for example. It also does not really focus on item collection like LOZ did, sure you got some items to help you on the way but none were permanent that I remember.
    I do think StarTropics had way more fun boss battles though.

    Neither.  It's average at best.
