I just started playing that last year after meaning to for many years (doesn't help that I only got into 2D Zelda like 5 years ago). It's super fun. I still haven't finished it, though. Got stuck at one part or another and haven't gotten back to it yet.
I just beat it for the first time myself last year. I loved it, beginning to end. I don't know why I waited so long to play it honestly. I grew up with the Oracle games, which were also Capcom, so I should have known it would be great. Enjoy!
I think it's interesting that Capcom developed that one for Nintendo. They certainly did a great job!
I like, but don't love, Link's Awakening. I get that they had the limitations of the Game Boy to work around, so the idea that the map is confounding to navigate - just like a dream can be - was a creative choice that fit well. It just doesn't resonate with me.
The GBA was definitely a better platform for a Zelda game than the OG Game Boy.
I never finished this one because someone broke into my house and stole my GBA SP with this cart in it (and some other stuff). Same reason I didn't even play Oracles (or maybe Seasons?). I finished one, and started Minish cap before the other.
This is April's game of the month for a Discord server I'm on, so a few of us have been tinkering with it recently. I was surprised at how good analog control felt with it.
So cool to see a bunch of praise for this game here! It's one of my favorite Zeldas and it's always seemed like it never got a lot of talk.
