This game is one of the best N64 games of all time. It keeps you content with a variety of levels and enemies so you don't get bored. This game isn't just killing monsters although you do get to do that. It has mind boggling challenges and obstacles to pass. You start out with young link, but later in the game you can become an adult. When you get tired of that you can switch back to young link. Along with the main story line there are many different mini quests and games to play. For example, you can go to the archery range to win prizes, go bambchu (A kind of bomb that can climb up walls) bowling, archery on horse back, and chicken catching. There are also tons of weapons. As young Link you can get a sweet slingshot, or boomerang. Then when you get to be an adult you can get a bow, or a megaton hammer and also a hook shot. In special places in the game you can find magic weapons as well. One lets you be invincible and another lets you unleash a giant fire ball. AWESOME. There are about nine main levels. If you can't beat the level or get tired of that one, try fishing. its fun. This isn't the kind of game where you have to go on a little path and do everything in sequence. NO This game is giant. You can go away and just explore. I've had this game for years and just beat it last month so it keeps you happy. Hope this helps.
