Graphics - I think they could have done a little more with the graphics. There wasn't much 3d animation happening, but if they would have made it too good, then switching to the GBA when you go into a house or a cave would look really wierd. They also might not make the game so long because of better graphics.

Animation - They had some good animation with the character's expressions. They mainly used some of the old effects and added some little things above their head. It was still pretty good though.

Music - If you love ALTTP music, this is totally the game for you. They used so many songs from the game that the game actually sounds really good. Definatly good music.

Sound Effects- The swords hitting each other, the screams, shadow link's noises, they were all really good. I'm glad they had a lotother wise it would be really boring.

Plot - Save the Maidens, save the Princess, anything new? Not much, except the fact (BEWARE! SPOILERS!) that Ganon's big plan was to have you awaken Vaati so he could continue his plans. He also took to the Dark Mirror, which made the Shadow Link. Good plot, but I think they could have though of something new.

Difficulty - This game isn't a master's game, but it does provide some nice puzzles, which could take hours to solve without help. I didn't like the fact that you can get so many force fairies to save you. I didn't die close to 90 times when I was done. Probably only need like a maximum of twenty. Still pretty difficult though.

Lastability - Probably you would play it once, put it down for a week or two, then come back to it. That's only if you are a true Zelda Fan. I will play it through again too. I believe it takes around... 30 hours to beat if you have help and much longer if you try to do every puzzle by yourself.

Overal - They added some things andtook away some others. It is a really good game and will keep you wondering what is really going on if you didn't read my spoilers up there. I give it a 90%.
