It's good but too easy

oh and I forgot to mention, best enemy variety BY FAR of any 2D zelda game

I agree and I regret selling my copy for drug money when I was in university

I've never played it because I heard it was too easy, and that kills half the point of 2D Zelda.

I highly recommend playing it. as an adult, no zelda game is challenging except the first two, so that point is moot. The puzzles get pretty involved and the last couple dungeon has some decent challenge.

>what's not to love?
It's pacing past the 2nd dungeon kind of takes a nosedive and Kinstone Trading gating off nearly all the cool optional items (and hindering exploration for minor items) can be a major detriment to some people. Also shrinking lost its novelty since they didnt do all that much with it. Still easily a great game though .

I wouldn't say it's too easy if i hadn't played it.
LA and ALTTP were harder (and better)

Baby game with baby art style
Go play loz 1 or alttp, baby

The game is far from shit, but this is clearly bait.

It's easy, but it's also pretty fucking good.

I remember thinking the giant octorok boss was hysterical as a kid.

LoZ sucks ass. AoL is way better. And LTTP is great, and so is LA but there's very little game there. It's the dungeons and a couple side quests.

>but there's very little game there.
AlttP literally has 2 overworlds and more dungeons then every other game. What the fuck are you talking about

Great art.
Bad copy-pasted dungeon assets (mostly dungeons like the ice one from what I recall), jar boat sections over and fucking over going north and south over and over and over, kinstones quickly becoming grating.
It's a good game, not the best.

>teh best
SOUL...
Auto-correct and it's consequences has been a disaster for the Internet.

> no zelda game is challenging except the first two
Link's Awakening is fairly challenging, especially compared to Minish Cap. the Oracle games too.
BotW is optionally challenging if you do the Master Trials, don't overpower yourself with gear/hearts/stamina, etc.

I meant that LA hjas very little content there. obviously LTTP is the only other great 2D zelda game.

You keep on making threads about this game man. I love you.

>>funny, enjoyable shrinking mechanic

Does it really and truly count if overhead Zelda games always by default make Link look like a bug? Seriously schmups games do a better sense of scale. I hate the shrinking trash as it felt pretentious. You want to do a good shrinking game, look at Chibi Robot, being 3D actually enhanced it's gimmick. Minish Cap no dice.

needed a good giantess encounter/segment.

one of the comfiest games i've ever played, 9.5/10 simply due to how memorable it was imo
but, the entire game was way too easy, except for the final boss, that fight was fucking bullshit, very unfun
