I don't think there is a word for this. I really don't. Okay. How about perfection? A little presumptous perhaps? Maybe. But gaming experiences like this don't come along every day.

Any disperssions about the aesthetic nature of Link and his world are soon cast aside because it looks stunning. Like a cartoon in fact. "So did Jet Set Radio I hear you say". Yes, but not like this. This feels like a cartoon. More importantly, it feels like a Zelda game.

Link's facial expressions look impressive. His eyes look shocked when you catapult yourself into a wall and the surrounding shelves shake and fall away. His eyes remain transfixed on a target as your circle your adversary. It. Looks. Amazing!

My initial quest saw me wandering the village and talking to the locals (not that I could understand a word they were saying). Acquired a telescope, the trademark Link-costume and I helped a lady retrieve 2 of her pigs, which I was rewarded with 40 rupees (20 for each of them) and I have yet to begin the main-quest yet.

The sound. Oh yes, the sound. It's classic Zelda. Where by, some of the tracks on display here are remixed Zelda-tunes of old that still sound as good as they did back then.

I'm off to play some more.

Game of the Year 2003? I don't think there will be any arguments IMO.
