I don't want to offend anybody here, but I don't see what's so hard to understand. In my opinion, Phantom hourglass is poorly controlled, tedious and repetitive and the least fun of all the 3D Zelda games. It felt watered down, and as I played it more, my sense of dissapointment continued to grow until I stopped playing it altogether. It's just my opinion, and I know for a fact that a large amount of longtime Zelda fans feel the same way.

Calling me crazy or judging me based on my opinion seems a bit elitist. Wondering how it's possible that other people don't enjoy a game that you personally enjoyed seems a bit ignorant. Maybe I'm overthinking though.

On a side note, Zelda II is my least favourite Nintendo developed 2D Zelda.

See, I was right, I can lump you in with the Zelda II haters.

I had no problem with the controls at all, and thought they were great. They were different and worked well in my opinion, but I could see how some people wouldn't like them. I thought controlling your items were great. You could be swinging your sword around, and with L button quickly switch back and forth between items. I also loved that I could make my boomberang go wherever I wanted.

I can see how some might think the game is a little boring/tedious due to the overworld, which I'm not a huge fan of, however I don't think it knocks it down so far as to say that the game is the worst Zelda. Granted all the Zeldas are great so being the worst Zelda can still be an excellent game.

And yes, I can be elitist, as I've beaten Zelda II, and you are only a hardcore elitest player if you've beaten Zelda II

Well, I beat a good chunk of it before I quit. Next time I decide to play it, I'll make sure to finish it so I can be a hardcore elitist player too
