I just beat this game after 21 years later. It took me 2 weeks to beat this amazing work of art. What can I say that probably hasn't been said already! I love this video game. It was amazing to play this when I was a child and being just taken into this majestic world, and the music was just beautiful. The only part that I couldn't get past was the Water Temple, after so many tries I gave up. Now at age 31 years, after getting past this challenge and going through the rest of the game. Wow! that was absolutely a masterpiece of a game. From the game mechanics, you use a wide range of different tools. From the hookshot *longshot* later, the boom a rang, the hover boots were sweet, all the tools in the utility belt were used so well! I feel that the mechanics of this game set the standard for gameplay in the Zelda franchise. This being the 1st 3D Zelda title also being such a high bar, even back then. This classic is a must play for video-game player out there! 10/10
