It was a pretty decent game, but by no means the instant classic best game ever its supposed to be. I got bored halfway through and never finished. It was the first of many Zelda games where that has been the case. The last Zelda games I enjoyed and finished were the link to the past and earlier ones (except 2 which sucked) and that dreamer game boy one (forget the name). Zelda doesn't translate well to 3D as currently imagined. There are at least 20 3rd person action/adventure games that are LOADS better in just about every way. That lock on enemies system the way its implemented is pretty bad and using ranged weapons is nothing if not awkward.

To notice the true beauty of the game, you had to have played the old games. The leap from 2D to 3D was a huge thing back then! As a kid, it was impressive. That's probably why you didn't enjoy it much Impulsitivity, but that's my take on it. If you played the game after playing a bunch of third person games or other 3D games, yeah, you'd think it's just a normal 3D game when you're into this generation now or whatever. That's why you have to think about the time frame when the game got released and what it did to the gaming community as a whole.

It's just pure nostalgia going back at the game every single time (I usually do a run every year, hehe)!

 

   I already had that experience playing the supeior Mario 64 over a year earlier.  Zelda didn't really have the sense of a wide open vertical world like Mario did.  You could barely jump, there were a few vertical levels but they were all just from climbing...It was just not as good as Link to the Past or other 3D adventure games both before and after.
