Ugh. I downloaded The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past off the VC expecting it to be incredible. People praise it so greatly I was almost positive I would love it. Wrong. How can this stinker even hold a candle to Ocarina, Majora's, Wind Waker, or Twilight Princess? There are so many problems with this game:

1) The combat system: This is truly awful. Fighting enemies is so tedious and hard. When you get close enogh to slash an enemy they just charge you. This is made worse by the fact that Link moves like a snail while swinging his sword. And then once you get hit...you FREAKIN TURN INVISIBLE! WTF is up with that?! So you get hit and then you can't see where you are. This leads to the enemy just annihilating you. It's ridiculous

2) The horrible overworld: The map sucks. The world sucks. On the map it's impossible to see if your desired route is blocked by trees and this leads to wandering. Lots of wandering. The freakin trees create mazes that are extremely frustrating to navigate. There are so many other needless obstacles like rocks and poles.

3) It is so uncompelling: Why do I want to druge through this agony? To encounter even more frustrating gameplay and bad story/dialouge? The puzzles are easy; the real challenge is navigating the overworld. And the story is a complete bore. So Link gets a message in a dream and then suddenly rushes off to save the princess (that COULD have been just a dream), putting his own life in danger? And there is absolutely no backstory. You go save the princess and then WOOSH your a hero. You think people would be a little more secrective with revealing the location of the Pendants (or medallions or w/e) and the Master Sword.

A complete waste of money. I should have bought Kid Icarus or Kirby
