A follow-up to A Link to the Past where Link can merge into walls as a painting. Rentable items let you tackle dungeons in almost any order.
Kit's verdict · 9.3/10
The freest, smartest top-down Zelda ever made.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Wall merging makes puzzles fresh
- Do dungeons in almost any order
- Silky 60fps 3D
Not so much
- Too easy on normal
- Reuses a lot of the old Hyrule map
Play it if anyone who loves Zelda, especially fans of A Link to the Past.
Skip it if players who want a big, fresh world.
