9.9/10
This game is as close to usurping Ocarina of Time as my favourite game ever as any title is likely to get. It was truly amazing. There was all of one or two tiny kinks in any otherwise floorless game that just stopped it from being that ten out of ten title I remember OoT to be. Amongst these was resource collection (though VASTLY improved from the first game) still taking just a TINY bit too long. Also, I didn't like the ending quite as much as the first. No less epic, I was just very partial to the ending location of the first title, it provided an amazing backdrop this game didn't quite match.
But other than that just about everything has improved.
Besides that, the ending was better. I am going to play it through a couple more times, but I am quite sure the endings will vary enormously.
Graphics are better.
The story is more fleshed out.
Save game integration was unparalleled.
The characters have a depth surpassing the first game (which had characters that were about as well fleshed out as any others in video game history).
It was a truly, STUNNING game.
Now it is 5am, I have barely slept for four days. My play-time was over 40 hours.
Goodnight.
