I also think it's weird that SotN gets that credit, particularly since I think Simon's Quest is more deserving historically. But everyone is convinced that game sucks since the translation made it confusing, so it just gets written off as a bad action-RPG.


On every possible level. Impossible clues, terrible action, total lack of meaningful bosses, grinding, no change in your character besides a more damaging whip, and the FUCKING necessity of holy water bombing every single tile to make sure it wasn't an illusionary pitfall.

Zelda 2 did everything better a whole 7 months earlier.
