It felt like there could have been more here. There are barely any enemies in Hyrule Field and when there are, it’s at only the beginning of the game. Nowadays, the graphics for this game are less impressive and the world actually feels very dead at times. I remember as a kid, back in 1998, getting out of Kokiri Forest and having my eyes just pop out at how expansive Hyrule Field is. The graphics were, for its time, amazing. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone played the Imperial March with it. People have actually used it to play different songs, such as the Kakariko Theme. Not only are the music pieces great and moody, but there’s even an item in-game that let’s you play music. And the soundtrack! The title promises that a musical instrument would be important to the game, and it makes good on that promise. Many creatures in the world make different sounds. You can’t control Epona while also using your bow, so you might often find yourself being galloped towards a wall, while the Poe you’re hunting taunts you and your dumb beast (but then again, I can’t imagine anyone controlling a horse and aiming an arrow at the same time). There are some limitations: you can’t move around while aiming, although if you use Z-Targeting, you can still strafe around. The camera is rarely ever an issue and Link moves and acts as you’d expect him to.
I don’t know what game actually came up with the “Z-Targeting” technique, but this is the one that popularized, and for good reason. It’s beautiful and worthy of being called a masterpiece, although this is also where story takes precedence over adventuring and so linearity begins to become more prominent. It was also the game that transitioned the franchise into the realm of 3D polygons and the one game everyone seems to remember when “Zelda” is uttered.
