Don’t want to post spoilers but this game poses some weird-arse moral/philosophical questions you don’t expect from a Zelda game.

Yeah, dude this game's ending blew my mind when I was a little kid. I walked away thinking: what in the hell did I just do that for? How am I the hero in any of this? I was, for the first time, incredibly sad to beat a video game.

This is the second "remake" for me, I played through it on a friend's borrowed black and white GB cartridge when I was a <10 years old, and I got the GB Color at launch in Fall '98 and turned 11 around Link's Awakening DX launch and you better bet I made sure my mom had that lined up for Christmas. The game looked fantastic in color.

I am not a fan of remakes but this one does it justice. I beat it this weekend and got 100% everything except the remaining chamber stones for Dampe's dungeon maker. Highly recommended. $60 is a bit steep but it's too good to pass up IMO.
