i finished a link to the past yesterday and i had not made an effort to collect every heartpiece in the game (i was missing 7) because the game was at times, easy to the point of it being boring while some of the challenges
(the baseball game and the sprint) where frustrating while also not engaging enough
all in all, its a solid zelda title out of the tried and true formular but it was too easy and the "light story" (its boring) was more charming in the days of hardware limitations and manuals with exposition dumps
