A magnificent title in the classic 2D Zelda series, and one of the better Zelda games ever made, comparable to the likes of Oracle of Ages and A Link to the Past. Solid and creative dungeon design, a thoroughly fantastic soundtrack, and a great antagonist in the underrated dark lord Vaati. A must-play for Zelda fans looking for a wonderful classic experience without being bogged down by clunky game mechanics or poor dungeon design. The designers' passion for the Zelda series is all too obvious in their mastery of its formula.

Well, now I know why mainstream critics despise this movie so much: because it's wholesome, pure, and innocent. The characters are all eminently likeable and don't need a reason to do what's right and help others. There is even some nice character growth with one who is outwardly gruff and seemingly unkind. Sure, it's a little cheesy, but no more so than any other kids movie. As a kid, I was thoroughly gripped by the story and tension, which has balanced out a little from the occasionally overly dark first installment. And going back as an adult for nostalgia's sake, I found it heartwarming and enjoyable. I'd certainly deem it a must-watch for your kids, who can learn a lot about empathy from this.
