A great take on a popular series

I don't need to really explain how a Zelda game works to anyone who's ever played one. The formula hasn't really changed since it debuted on the NES, it's only real change since then is the 3D. That having been said, this game seems to be a love it or leave it affair for most fans. I personally love this game more than Ocarina of Time.

As I said before the game is pretty typical Zelda fanfare, but where this iteration shines for me is the cartoony cell shaded presentation, the large overworld map linked by ocean, and the change in some typical features. There was the adition of the parry system which translates amazingly to the zelda combat formula, there are the new races, the special weapons that can also be used by the boat, and like every Zelda game the boss battles.

The music is great, the visuals are stunning, theres tons of extra quests and a lengthy linear adventure besides, plus the gameplay is solid Zelda. If you're a fan of the series, or new to it this is a great game to play. I would recommend this game to anyone.
