I really love those Zelda-like games and of course this game is comparable to A Link to the past. This game starts out really nice, good looking graphics, challenging battles and lots of sidequests. You get the feeling that it's worth exploring the world and so you do. But as quickly as this game catches your interest it gets lost in a pretty straight forward gameplay. As soon as you realice that you can collect healing stuff to heal several hundreds(!) of hearts, you also realice that it's pretty pointless to search the world for heart containers or other stuff. Healing stuff is pretty easy and cheap to get too. Because of that unlimited healing all the battles are pointless. The final bosses have a huge arsenal of skills, but what's the point. You just stand there and mash the attack button (and heal when necessary) until the bosses finally collaps. Same that goes for fighting also goes for the dungeon design. It's not too bad, but there is also no point in trying to avoid any traps and so you just rush through every dungeon. While there are some puzzles, they are not the big challenge. All in all i expected much more...
