It would be interesting to see this concept revisited in true 3-D, and maybe with a more compact design or additional content to enliven the experience. I agree that Zelda never gets to do as much as she ought to, and this would provide a template for such an adventure. Good to know that patience pays off with this one!StillGaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366215127642090500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274560874062585311.post-19898662594123860492011-10-28T07:00:31.328-07:002011-10-28T07:00:31.328-07:00Oddly enough, I actually like this game a lot.

I've played through it five time since I picked it up a few years back and have only had one issue with the game freezing (and that was due to my Duo acting up). Yes, It's not perfect at all. But it's definitely a game for folks with a bit of patience and persistence who know it's an "ancient" game by "today's standards". <br /><br />Also, the ending is pretty abrupt, but interesting, that's for sure. Did you get to use the magic system in the game at some point? The princess can use a flame spell to light stuff on fire and get past a few puzzles. It's underutilized, like some of the other elements, which has me also thinking Gainax had bigger plans for this one before they had to get it out the door.<br /><br />I'd actually LOVE to see this remade, but by a studio that can tackle it in 3D (Team ICO would be my choice if i had the call). Also, with some tweaking, this would be a fantastic Legend of Zelda game with Zelda as the lead instead of Link. Instead of dying at the beginning like the "hero" who goes in to rescue the princess, Link can get nabbed himself, which forces Zelda to free herself and rescue HIM. That would be a far more interesting game than yet another alternate world TLOZ with a different Link doing the same old stuff. I say Nintendo needs to give the princess a chance to shine and this game is the perfect template for an adventure...Greg Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484524631509910440noreply@blogger.com
