Finally managed to get a hold of this one! Interesting game, though I'd say it has more value as a curiosity for series completionists. Single-player mode is alright, you can feel it misses out on the "core" of the game - several challenges and puzzles become redundant or straight-up skippable - but Im still very glad they added it.

Game is short but quite replayable, even without the competition aspect. Not going to be in any Top Zelda Games list for sure - and Four Swords Adventures has it outclassed in almost every aspect - but Im still glad Im playing this and having a good time.

What I really didnt expect was the art quality. Link's animations are REALLY good - haven't felt this good drawing a bow in any 2D Zelda. Enemy design is also very interesting, as they're very quirky and stray away from the classic designs before and since. The Stalfos in particular always make me laugh cause of how weird they are.

Final boss fight is really solid and up there with other ones in the series!

Another one down. This one is kinda repetitive as you keep solving similar puzzles, fight enemy rushes, and gather a ton of rupees (basically used for high score count and for reviving yourself if you die). In single player, the latter is mostly useless and can be skipped, but my Zelda OCD keeps me grabbing every single one of them. …

Another one down. This one is kinda repetitive as you keep solving similar puzzles, fight enemy rushes, and gather a ton of rupees (basically used for high score count and for reviving yourself if you die). In single player, the latter is mostly useless and can be skipped, but my Zelda OCD keeps me grabbing every single one of them. It's like how you have to break every pot you come across or mowing down every patch of grass. It seems the Zelda team accounted for this as many switches are hidden in the grass. For someone with no Zelda experience, I can see this being annoying, but I'm used to it after all these years farming for rupees.

Post-game content (Realm of Memories) was more enjoyable than the base game as it allowed you to explore older Zelda games (conveniently all the ones I've already played). It was also nice to see the reuse of some older enemies and items that aren't seen in other games (namely the Minish Cap).

Onwards to the final game in the "Four Swords trilogy".

Spent more time trying to figure out how to play this/get this running than apparently how long it will take to beat it.
