What can I say? It's by Nintendo, it has to be good
A rather bland story (though interesting to the younger folk) is not what you should really be reliant on for this game. Other than that, the graphics look purdy enough, the gameplay works out perfectly, and the sound is catchy enough. A big win is the fact that sailing has become less tedious (though that's to be expected) and it really makes you interact more with the environment. Basically it's a game that has great factors on all sides, and even the infamous "phantom dungeon" can be eventually looked over...at the very near end of the game
All in all a great addition to the series, and a great reference can be found to stubborn D-pad players... that certainly made me lol out loud
