@thelastwindwaker7948 4 года назад

3:55 Agreed. It's why I've never been keen on some of the earlier Zelda games, since the dungeons just having you walking around, exploring rooms and fighting enemies. I do however, differ about A Link Between Worlds. I like that finding your way through Koholint is in itself a puzzle, rather than the game just opening all the gates and telling me to go crazy. At least here the dungeons can afford to get more challenging as a result of that linearity.
