A very challenging game but once you get the hang of it is quite good.
The action of the game is very strategic. Every palace you go to you must learn about it, it's enemies and find out how to work a way around these conflicts with the use of either your sword or certain spells. The enemies at the beginning start out hard and only dramatically get harder. Every area you explore you must understand and work your way through it many times coming up with a detailed plan to get to the boss, and then, hopefully win. The bosses themselves were hard too if you didnt understand the skills too well.
The puzzles in the game at times would be very confusing and give you no clues onto what you have to do. At times I would have to look at walkthroughs to see just what to do only to find the most ridiculous answer to what you have to do. The secrets were also hidden well in the game, perhaps too well. I needed to use walkthroughs to find hidden heart containers in the game, which again happen to be hidden in the most ridiculous places.
As far as the story goes there wasnt much of a story really. It is all about saving Hyrule again. Though the action in this game is very (strangely) addicting, but it doesnt seem like a game you would want to play through again, since it is very difficult and takes time of training and planning to beat. Although I love a good challenge. This was my very 1st Zelda game and I would highly recommend any RPG or old-school game players to play this.
