The story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its length and challenge, while others criticize the lack of engaging plot and character development. Many noted that the game relies heavily on quest progression without providing substantial narrative scenes, leading to a sense of disconnection from the story. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the storytelling elements seem to fall short for some players.
“The story is great, the controls are smooth, and it actually has a bit of a challenge.”
“A good and long story to play.”
“In relation to that, you’ll need to do some searching for your quest progression, whether that be collecting stuff or talking to some person; there is very little hand-holding here (which I love).”
“The only thing I didn't actually really like was the story.”
“By story, I think I mean the plot since there were no scenes besides those that pointed me towards the next area.”
“Generic graphics, boring enemies, and uninspired levels; also, the story and characters didn't really have any of the charm of Zelda.”
