I adore this game. The setting, the story, the emotion, everything about it is perfection. It takes the gameplay set up by Ocarina of Time and perfects it. The mask system is one of the most inventive and original ideas in any Zelda game. The transformations are all fun to use (especially swimming as Zora Link) and the utility of some of the masks, for example the Bunny Hood, are extremely useful.
The story is the main driving part of this game though, and it's the only time the story in a Zelda game has really been something special. Instead of saving a princess from an evil king, the player is tasked with saving a place from being destroyed in three days. You are faced with saving a group of people who, at this point, have already come to terms with the fact they will probably die. Some of the scenes in this game are truly heart wrenching (Kafei and Anju being reunited and deciding to ride out the moon falling together, and thus die together is one of the most moving things in any video game ever.)
Onward to the Oracle games. :D
