Just as astonishing as 'Ocarina'. Amazingly, despite the sweeping changes and innovation, it still remains quintessentially 'Zelda'. Neither photo-realistic or cartoonish, it adds a whole new dimension to what can be expressed in a game. Set on the ocean waves, it offers whole new vistas to explore. Just as rewarding as the other Zelda games. You want to just lose yourself in it!
A masterpiece, a miraculous compound of gaming goodness, worldbuilding, and expression sparked by the catalyst of the cel-shading rendering technique. Confirms video games as the finest form of entertainment. Everything there is to do is fun. How can anyone not love it?
Any lingering doubts I had about the cel-shaded look were blown away as soon as I started playing it: it's still Zelda. You can what characters are thinking from the way they move their eyes, just like you were holding their hands; there were times when I was moved almost to tears. The difficulty level of both the puzzles and the fights were just right - lots of fun to play!
I laughed and cried at the events, racked my brain over the puzzles, and was stunned by the expressiveness of it all. The further I got in to it, the more exciting it became. I felt like a little kid playing games for the first time. Even newcomers to the world of Zelda will lose themselves in I. There's also plenty of innovation for returnees, though this stays true to the Zelda traditions.
