Zelda turned out to be really easy to get sucked into. It effortlessly maintains the feel of the earlier installments I had played (for me, that pretty much means the SNES outing, A Link to the Past), but transcends it magnificently. The opening sequence didn't actually convince me -- I thought, "seems interesting, but not breathtaking." Then I got into the first dungeon, and the richness of atmosphere and gameplay blew me away. Then I got to the first island after the first dungeon, and discovered how easy it was to poke around the island for three hours after accomplishing my only actual required goal, to see if I could solve the various subquests (which involved such diverse tasks as playing hide & seek, and taking pictures of people on the sly).
And every so often, the camera will swing around and you'll catch the expression on Link's face as he reacts to something in the environnment, and you'll again by blown away by the attention to detail and the attention to beauty in this game. 10:45:02 AM ()
