It's probably the most mature 3D Zelda in terms of story/plot and easily a great game. After the 1st hour or so the game will become your typical Zelda adventure with dungeons and mini games and such. Overall I liked the levels and the look of the game is hit or miss, but for me it was a hit.
What?
Its by far the least mature story/plot in zelda.
Windwaker and skyward sword blow tp out of the water in this regaurd, as does majoras mask, which has a similar visual tone.
@OP.
Its one of my least favourite 3d zeldas. To the point I actually havent been able to complete a second playthrough despite starting several. The tedium just grinds the run to a halt.
The game has a large world, but it is completely empty and devoid of meaning, their are very few optional items, and to make up for it they made more heart peices to find, you now need 5 peices. All optional side quests are mind numbingly tedious, and revolve around trinket collectathons or throwing away rupees.
Controls are worthless waggle crap, with the exception of pointing controls and fishing. Combat Is not actual motion control like skyward sword.
Game has serious forced pacing issues. Not deal breakers first run, but extremely tiresome on replays as they can not be accelerated by skill or knowledge.
Very overworld/exploration weak zelda.
Game does have move skills to collect, which is nice.
Midna joins the thin ranks of enjoyable sidekicks next to king of red lions and ghost zelda.
Most dungeons are unnecessarilly long and tedious, and full of puzzles already done to death.
But donr think Im saying its garbage. Even if I personally think its a poor entry in the series, said series is still better than 90% of other games. Its worth owning and playing.
