Lazy remake of a great game

ProsCons
  • Has 9 large meaty complex challenging dungeons that are among the best in the series.
  • The melancholic plot accompanied with the colorful and human cast of characters.
  • The horseback fights are excellent and the set pieces in the game are great.
  • The sheer size and scope of this game is impressive. Lots of content and items
  • Some aspects of this HD remake (the skybox and indoor areas) look much better.
  • The first 3 hours are still really slow, restricted and agonizing (the reduction in Tears of Light was not enough)
  • Many of the low-poly areas in the game were not fixed.
  • Nintendo, in 2016, charging $60 for a re-make with few gameplay fixes, very little new content and 2009 graphics.
