What players think
The recurring themes across 157 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The graphics are cute, the characters are charming, and the game mechanics are fairly easy to get a grasp on.
The title screen theme is a beautiful composition, and I'm quite glad to see its motif incorporated throughout the game's soundtrack.
This isn’t just a nod to classic Link to the Past-style games; it’s a bold leap forward, blending nostalgic gameplay with daring, innovative mechanics that Nintendo wouldn’t touch.
The graphics are cute, the characters are charming, and the game mechanics are fairly easy to get a grasp on.
If you go in with the expectation of the game being more beginner friendly and tailored towards co-op, then it truly excels as a pick up and play casual experience.
I played it entirely on Steam Deck, and 100%ed it with only a hand full of minor bugs (mostly walking past loading zone barriers, and needing to walk back again to hit it).

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 4 sampled reviews and are not shown.
