This is such a great all-around Zelda game and isn’t a huge time commitment either. It’s very linear but there’s plenty of random mini games and shops to explore. It also is a very special and unique Nintendo game and incorporates an early looking version of Kirby and has chain chomps from Mario. The art direction is “toy style” and it’s incredibly polished. It’s really one of those remakes where they didn’t cut any corners.
I remember as a kid the tower dungeon towards the end frustrated the hell out of me. There was one puzzle with dropping stone (?) down holes and I could never get it right. Finally had to get my friend’s Nintendo Power to show me the way.
