    Another boring tedious attempt by Nintendo. Brings nothing new to the genre.

    The dungeons were very repetitive and always reused the same puzzle elements, like blocks, torches, switches, ect. The items were rarely used outside of dungeons, like the magic hammer and mirror shield. Also, the game is a dungeon grind: you get the hookshot, then go straight to Forest Temple. Go to Goron City, speak to the child Goron, and go directly to Fire. The story was kind of boring and a rehash of A Link to the Past's with an unsurprising twist at the end. There was very little plot development at all in the adult portion of the quest, basically just running from temple to temple with each sage speaking about five lines of text after defeating every boss. Also, the bosses are easy. Every boss can be defeated in 5 seconds with crouching stabs.… Expand

    I only give this a two because it's fun to watch other people fight the final boss. Couldn't hold my interest for any amount of time.

    This game has no story, no gameplay, and terrible design throughout. It is unfortunately one of the worst games ever made and one of the most pathetic excuses for a video game. It gave me a huge headache because of its terrible graphics and character design. Avoid at all costs.

    This is, without a doubt, one of the all-time greatest games made. 50 years from now people will still be playing and enjoying this game... thoroughly.

    My favorite game of all Time. It is the perfect example of a perfect and polished game. Every aspect of the game is virtually flawless.
