Really fun and engaging game. Really has a feeling of the old Zelda without playing the same old formula. Epitomises the Hakoniwa or miniature Garden philosophy in which the player’s imagination creates great worlds out of limited detail and artistic suggestion. The dungeons are not as linear as many would have like but it has its own charm.
I think the choice to make Zelda fight with Echoes was a good one. As Aonuma said they did not want to create a female link for the sake of it. They wanted her to have her own distinct identity, Zelda has always used magic to overcome her enemies. So the choice to make her a mage was a sound choice, however, I do wish sometimes I could just bash the entire with her staff every now and then.
