Probably no the best Zelda game, but a thrilling and fun game nontheless.
The more I played the more I wanted to continue to play, for I felt that my progress through Hyrule's treacherous, monster-infested terrain honestly had a meaningful impact on its computer generated society. Even if TP is only a video game, by interacting with computer characters who accurately responded to my electronic adventure's events-- sometimes even citing my specific deeds-- I felt that I should continue to fight for those people's imaginary lives.
Aside from the game's spiritual impact on the gamer, the quality of its graphics and sounds is astounding-- characters are able to portray true human beauty and sometimes arouse the gamer, and sounds are directly correlated with Link's actions (i.e. when Link steps even on a small leaf, you can hear with crunching). TP's technical presentation only aids to draw a gamer deeper into its storyline by making a gamer feel as if he/she is in the real world.
Although TP has trouble standing out among previous Zelda titles like Ocarina of Time-- mainly due to the similarity in gameplay --, its deep storyline and realistic action make it a unique electronic adventure any Nintendo gamer would be foolish to pass on. However, those people who choose to not play this game must have very good reasons for doing so!
