Different, but still brilliant!
GAMEPLAY
Theres no Hyrule feild here, but there is a LOT of water. And instead of a horse, you get a boat that can talk to you. Yeah. I didnt mind the sailing but many people didnt like this bit, and sometimes the sailing will get tedious. All the usuall Zelda stuff is in here: Dungeons, Puzzles and brilliant boss fights. The fighting had improved since Ocarinia of Time, now Link can do a lot of things, such as cool-looking combos, parries and even stealing enemies weapons (although your sword is better). However, as usuall, some puzzles seem near-impossible to do, and these parts of the game WILL make you fustrated, no matter how much you like the game.
GRAPHICS
Umm....amazing? Just because they ar'nt realistic, it doesnt mean that they dont look good. Nintendo realy got the transition to cel-shading rigth here, and it means that the characters can make facial expressions not possible in Ocarinia. Also, the fights look brilliant, but you realy have to see them in motion to belive that. Although some people wont like the cel-shading, I cant find any flaws to the graphics.
SOUND
Nintendo did a good job here to! Dispite the lack of speech from characters, the occasional noises they do make suit them, and are sometimes funny. The music always suits the location, weather its sailing across the Great sea or fighting a Sub-boss, the music does not dissapoint.
VALUE
Dispite being a very good game, it is also very short. Dispite all the subquests, it wont take you long to finish this game (even with those annoying puzzles I mentioned earlier), and even with the Replay mode, there isn't much point in going through the game again (unless you want to do ALL the subquests), going through the entire game again doesnt seem all that attractive after you finish it for the first time.
TILT
I'm a bit of a Zelda fanboy, which is probably the reason why i enjoyed the game so much. People who arn't that familier to the series probably wont like it at much.
If you are a fan of the Zelda series and havn't got this then you should get it, you wont be dissapointed. Hell, even if you arnt a fa of the series, youll still like it! And for Gods sake, DO NOT LET THE GRAPHICS PUT YOU OFF!!
