A rather erratic game, which mismatches some excellent moments (getting the master sword, the fire dungeon, the spirit dungeon, the build up to the end) with some poor moments (the early stages of the game, the water temple, Jabu Jabu's belly, traversing Hyrule field) and some other moments in between. Puzzles also range from the enjoyably challenging to the mundane block pushing. The combat is generally pretty poor and inconsequential with the exception of the odd skeleton-like creature who generally poses a challenge.

It's atmosphere is pretty good for a Nintendo game, which is one area where Nintendo generally suffer at, but Silent Hill or Deus Ex it isn't and the atmosphere often underwhelms at moments it shouldn't. The soundtrack is generally very good though.

All in all, some interesting ideas here. Some which came off and some which didn't, but a decent game underneath all the commotion nonetheless.
