Playing through this on the GBA online on Switch. So far it's been pretty fun.

Whats everybody's thoughts on it? I dont hear much chatter about it when it comes to Zelda.

It's a lot of fun imo but iirc it got a mixed reception from players back in the day. I've always liked it. Capcom should make another Zelda game

Very good, highly underrated. There is just so much charm in it and the dungeon design is some of the best in the series. About the only thing that comes to mind as a real negative is that it is the worst game in the series when it comes to getting a 100% file as one of the Heart Pieces is just ridiculously annoying compared to anything the series has done otherwise.

It really is a shame that that was the edgy phase for gaming. It also hit Wind Waker and Final Fantasy IX as well: cartoonish stuffs just didn't do as well.

I played it back then, and barely remember anything from it. I remember underwhelmed from it having only four dungeons.

Kinstones and Figurines are some of the worst side quests in Zelda.

I'm doing a replay right now. It's so underrated. The music and sound effects are great. Not a lot of heart drops, fairies don't replenish fully, and there isn't an invincibility phase after being hit so it can be challenging. Puzzles are okay. Extremely linear though.

Pretty sure it was six, which isn't that bad of a number all things considered.

I actually just completed it 100% since I hadnt played it since launch, it was like playing it for the first time. My thoughts were it was meh. I didnt enjoy all the backtracking for kinstones and the awful figurine collection. I know it was a GBA game but the constant need to item switch was painful. I did like that the switch VC lets you save instances so if I didnt get the figurine I wanted it was easy to reset. Needed more dungeons. They were fun at least.

Not a bad game. But I feel like LttP, LA, Oracle games were much better.

I thought it was the kinstone piece. I could never find the last one and it killed me, on 3 separate playthroughs I somehow couldn't find it even while using a gamefaqs guide. Made my peace with never getting 100% and haven't tried since.

As my first zelda game, I of course loved it and it paved the way for me to go back and replay the entire series up to that point. Love the cartoony graphics as well and would be happy to see some kinda Vaati in the future, like maybe a boss in botw 2 that's second only to ganondorf

I went in with low expectations because only dungeons and a small map

Ended up loving it. The bosses are some of the best in all of the LoZ series and the dungeon power items are more unique than usual for a LoZ game.

I played it when it first came out. I remember thinking it was good, but I've never played it again and nothing in particular sticks out as a memory from it.

Kinstone pieces were trivial compared to getting all of the statues, which was how you got one of the heart pieces. Heck, in the process to getting through everything you are only likely going to end up with <50% of the rupees needed to get everything. And that's ignoring the something like 10 hours needed to just go through all of the animations/dialog for getting all of the statues.

That one heart piece is just gross. Like, on a level that is kind of surreal compared to anything that isn't from an MMO/gacha game.

This.

Additionally, worst heart piece in the series.

The game could have just had all it's heart pieces locked behind having to beat the game with 3 hearts, and it still would be less monotonous, tedious bull fuck than this heart piece

amazing art and music and dungeons are fun

exploration is kinda bad because the world map is so puny. kinstones suck because the rewards they give are underwhelming. instead of being mini dungeons with heart pieces, they're just shitty empty rooms with a single chest that often just have lame shells which gate the worst heart piece in the game

I agree with that, for both MC and the DS games. They have some of the best boss fights and items, which are often overlooked.
