[Neo]

I was shooed out of the other Zelda thread since I have not yet finished the game, but I wanted to say that I'm much more impressed with it now that I've gotten further along. The ball & chain is my new favorite implement as I love to smash things. Also I recently discovered a whole section of the castle town that I had overlooked before, and I finally found out that you can actually redeem those little golden bugs for prizes.

The puzzles and hidden secrets still seem a pale imitation of prior Zelda games but I suspect this has more to do with age-related perception than anything else. After all there's nothing particularly clever about randomly bombing a pixilated wall in hopes of finding an old man with a heart container.
