Well, thank fuck it's not a 3DS game as rumored. That would've been a real low blow.

Btw, can somebody explain to me why this game is so beloved? Not knocking it, just curious as to why so many people list it among the best of the series?

These type of game experiences are a bit hard to put into words for me. But for me it's mainly the atmosphere in the game. There was an association between music, characters and the environment present throughout most of the game that always entered the back of my mind whenever I heard a particular song or saw something. So it felt like a smaller, intimate world. The ending also put everything into a different perspective, and amplified many of the feelings I had about its world and characters.

Ah, I see. Cheers.

I have similar feelings about Ocarina of Time, my first Zelda. I hope Link's Awakening is as compelling to me given that I don't have any nostalgic attachment to it. I'm actually kind inexperienced when it comes to 2D Zelda, the only one I have played is Link to the Past.
