This is, by far, the WORST DSiWare game (and one of the worst games) I think I've ever played in my life. There are way too many issues with this game that I just can't fathom how people can praise it. I'm glad it was only available on the DSiWare and eShop for a limited amount of time, so that people don't have to suffer from this hunk load of garbage.
Firstly, the biggest flaw in this game is that you cannot save your progress during the middle of a door. If, for any reason, you need to leave and turn your DSi/3DS off, everything you've done so far is GONE! One time, I had been playing for HOURS in the Hero's Trial room and none of my progress was saved!
Speaking of which, this game has a tendency of being WAY too hard for what it's worth. The worst offender is the one I could never get past through (Hero's Trial), where in the 2nd room of the 2nd door, the ground is way too slippery and it's too easy to fall off the platform. That's an issue as by the time you get to the more complex enemies in that room, you won't have enough health and you'll inevitably lose, and as a result you'd have lost ALL your hours of progress!
Also, the levels are all randomized! (Well, when it comes to the first three worlds that is) If I quit a stage and then rejoin it, I'm put into some different map! This also means that any walkthroughs and tutorials of this game do not work, as due to the randomization of the levels, if you're stuck on a particular level it's darn near impossible to find a walkthrough for it! I've never had the same issue with any other game!
Oh, and there have been several levels I've faced where you're completely stuck at a dead end and no amount of power ups would be able to get you through. This was apparent in one of the maps in the Sea of Trees stage, where you could not get through the stones, and the flying power up doesn't help much at all.
Anyway, I could go on, but suffice to say, this game is riddled with so many issues and design flaws that it's put me off the whole Zelda franchise for life. To think so many people praise this game fills me with so much rage. Anyway, I better go before I go insane. This game is terrible, I've got absolutely nothing good to say about it, and that's all.
