I never thought I'd consider a game to be worse than Zelda 2, but playing through Ages has been the least fun I've had this entire Zeldathon experience. There's just something about this game's dungeons that isn't fun. The boss battles are okay (except for the last boss), but the puzzles in the dungeons are just so tedious. The changing time element is also farm more tedious than I remember Seasons' being.
The mermaid suit is also a total deal breaker. Who ever thought it would be a good idea to have to tap the D-Pad over and over to move can go straight to fucking hell.
The pinnacle of this shitfest is the final boss, though. Veran is mercilessly hard. A three form boss with no fucking down time in between the forms, and in the second phase she moves in a totally random way. Fuck that.
Overall it's still a Zelda game, so it's not inherently terrible. The basic mechanics of the game are still fun, but it's by far the worst official Zelda game I've ever played.
