What can one say about this game? It is so hard to give the game proper credit using mere words. But here goes: Simply put, it is awesome. There is no better game on any system, and there never has been. It is the pinnacle of gaming goodness. An intriguing story, awesome landscapes, and perplexing puzzles provide the basis for this masterpiece.

          This game is beautiful. Lens flares as you look into the sun, reflections shimmering on the blade of your sword, and stunningly realistic atmospheric accents treat you along your quest. The ambient sound effects add to the presented environment nicely and the clings and clangs of your sword as it is struck against various mediums are entrancing.

          As you play through the game you think to yourself, "Wow, I'm doing great! I must be halfway through the game!" when you are not even close. The game is enormous. About the time you reach adulthood in the game, I would say you are about a fifth of the way through.

          After I beat the game, I sat there staring at my TV. It's still screen glowing in the night, lighting my dark bedroom, shining on my smiling face. It was great because when you beat this game, the feeling is not, "Oh man, this game was great, but now it's over." You say to yourself nothing at all, reset the machine, and start all over.

          What's bad about the game? It spoils you. Every other game seems dry and boring after experiencing Zelda. All I crave now is more Zelda. I have 12 other games for my Nintendo 64 that may as well be paperweights. Some of you may read this and think this is ridiculous. If that is the case, then you have not played the game or you haven't played long enough.

          I can't place this game on a scale of one to ten, as it just doesn't belong there. It is on a scale of it's own; one on which no other game dare be measured for fear of humiliation.

          Power is knowledge and Nahlij is power.
