      Link to the Past was my first Zelda game, and I played so much of it. I haven’t played a top-down RPG like it in many years, so this is refreshing. I think I’m over halfway through.

    100% the game and am now going for all achievements, some of them are really hard! Currently doing “below zero” where you need to finish the game at -1%, AKA you need to pick up basically nothing and beat the game without doing any side content. No kears, no trinkets, not even health roses after beating a boss.

    I’m confused. All critics I’ve seen say the game is a masterpiece, yet the Steam reviews are kinda mixed (i.e. not as overwhelmingly positive as the critics). Why is that so?

      Skimming through the reviews, the negative ones I see seem to be mostly people struggling with the difficulty or the pixel art graphics.

      Maybe this is a case of it being so popular that it’s bringing in people who wouldn’t otherwise play this type of game. I remember Elden Ring had a similar thing happen.

        Wild because it has modifiers that let you make the game a literal cakewalk.

        My only gripe is the

        Unnecessary jumpscare when you’re in dark areas too long
