This. Although, I wouldn't give it an F-, but a C-.

Anyways, it is one of the better Zelda clones and a game I would really like to see a sequel to, with more usage of the camera and on a much larger scale. It was also one of the few examples of a decent to good lead female character in videogames. The combat moves were nice, the adventure aspect adequate and the world really well done. It also has one of my favorite soundtracks of that generation. The music was varied, but always matched where you are.

And in spite of using dreaded stealth gameplay, the following 'escape' gameplay moments were AWESOME.

Post by: AdmiralViscen on July 20, 2007, 01:34:00 PM: I'm not really digging it TBH. Rocket Slime is the better Zelda clone.

I'm gonna finish BG&E though, maybe it'll grab me soon.
