If you owned an original Nintendo and played Zelda you owe it to yourself to play this game.
Completed: June 10th, 2010
Loved
--------
1) Nostalgia. It made me remember my youth and Zelda days all over again.
2) The over world design is great. There is a ton of stuff to do and see that is
all unique.
3) The amount of different swords and level of customization is very nice. It adds a little more RPG element that is always welcomed.
4) The character editor is a great way to personalize the experience.
Hated
---------
1) The story is pretty much non-existent. Granted there wasn't much to go on in the original Zelda but a bit more effort would have been appreciated.
2) There are a ton of side quests to take on. It would have been nice to have a way to track what side quests have been talked about by the other characters so that I can remember them all.
3) Wish the New Game + option would allow you to take your swords that you had upgraded with you.
4) Wish you could attack the wizards with something else than reflect magic.
Final Thoughts
---------------------
For the price of $40 you can play the best Legend of Zelda clone out there but with enough unique features to make it on its own.
Would purchase again? Yes
