I’m not gonna say much about this cos there’s loads on other sites. So I’ll write my opinion on it in a different way.
The First thing that strikes me about this game is that it is different. Yea - in a good way and a bad way. For starters, the fact you have to learn the sword techniques is a bit new to Zelda. Right? And a talking hat that gives you (crap) advice hasn’t yet been done, right? Well, maybe. But as far as I know Ezlo reminds me of Navi. And the Great Fairies are leaning towards the shadow of Swiftblade. If you’re with me. On the other side, you have the shrinking. Yup, you saw it in Mario – but not to this extent. Now all I’m feeling about this game is that, well, it doesn’t seem to all be there. Take into account I’m being very harsh here and it is an excellent game. But, the controls are just that tiny bit different that is virtually unnoticeable. That is, until you play zelda as much as me. Then it get’s just a tad more than tiny. Like the roc’s cape. The sword drop thing, I mean. You use to be able to take out those ball and chain guys with ease. And what’s with acquiring the mirror shield, huh? A big Goron chewing a shield is not how they should have crossed that bridge. And, the bottle that Smith gets you for fusing with him makes a chest appear in the middle of a field. Great. And The Graphics, although fresh to untrained eyes is clichéd to us who played GBA fourswords.
However, despite all of the above, it is very, very good. Too good. It got me hooked. I played it and I played it and I played it and then the DS was released and I imported that, completed Mario 64 and then I’m back to playing minish. On the DS. It is totally compelling. Here’s some Fun Stuff To Do !
Before certain clips: Walk around the edges. You’ll find in some places that Link will turn to face the wall instead of who is talking. LOL!
When Zelda follows you: Use Everything. Some funny outcomes are Roc’s cape, Pegasus boots, etc. Also, When she’s a lump of rock, just before you wallop the third stage of Vaati, if you get the timing right, you can send your defrosting beam to her. Then Elzo tells you to unfreeze her and she’s still a lump of rock despite your attempt. Bleh!
