3:55 Agreed. It's why I've never been keen on some of the earlier Zelda games, since the dungeons just having you walking around, exploring rooms and fighting enemies. I do however, differ about A Link Between Worlds. I like that finding your way through Koholint is in itself a puzzle, rather than the game just opening all the gates and telling me to go crazy. At least here the dungeons can afford to get more challenging as a result of that linearity.

Sometimes, less is more. I wasn't a fan of the dungeon creator, the greater number of heart pieces, nor the extra secret shells. The original had a perfect pacing and atmosphere that I feel like is disrupted with the added content. But the quality of life changes are definitely appreciated and I wouldn't hold it against anyone for preferring this version ;-)

Honestly, watch damn near ANY review and you'll see that they all sound flowery and intelligent... the opinions themselves are why IGN draws ire from the gaming community. Typically the problem is that IGN can be out-of-touch with their critiques... not that it's poorly written. And I'm not even saying the game doesn't deserve the praise he gave it, I'm just saying that the same people calling his words "poetic" and "eloquent" would express an entirely different opinion had he not liked the game.
