I quickly abandoned my three heart run idea, not out of difficulty (this is by far the easiest Zelda yet in terms of combat) but rather out of interest in exploring as much as possible. I managed to get 11 hearts before getting the Ocarina of Time, which is the most you can possibly get. I used a glitch involving a cucco to get into and complete the Bottom of the Well and thus get the Lens of Truth, which helped me get the heart piece from the Treasure Game.
Dampe's Gravedigging minigame was a nightmare. I went into it with 200 rupees and didn't get the heart piece until I had only 6 rupees left.
Ocarina of Time is a gigantic step ahead for the series. It's no wonder this game was so critically acclaimed in its time. It still looks great, too (at least compared with anything else on the N64).
My main issues revolve around the amount of hand holding the game tries to do. Navi is disliked for this very reason. The game interrupts you very often to tell you how to do the movement you were just going to do. I get that this game was pioneering but the amount of explaining it does for basic tasks like opening doors or looking down corridors before you enter them just seems annoying.
I'm going to aim to get as many heart pieces as I can, just to really take in as much as I can of this game.
