i HATED this game. i thought it was pure garbage. fusing kinstones *while it might be a sorta cool feature* was fairly pointless. i dont want extra rupees. i want good stuff like super head explodey *LOL* or at least a cape that makes you invincable for a time or something other than the dreaded MORE KINSTONES or RUPEES! UGH! and the fact that you have to travel all the way acoss the universe in order to get the stupid chest...well, thats just annoying.and direction? just how on EARTH do i get from point A to point B without going through a major hassle to figure out who im supposed to talk to next? i do like that they kept our birdy friend though. hes Da Bomb.
on a scale of 1 to ten this game gets a 5. its not complete utter garbage but it aint no link to the past either.
I concur with regards to the Kinstones...I just can't really seem to find the purpose except getting a bottle or the Mirror Shield. Although, when it comes to your blatant remarks on how the game sucked, I can't help but dissagree with you. sure, it was a bit of a change from the other zelda titles, but shouldn't we all be open to try new things? 7/10, that's just for the fight sequences and the graphics.
