My brother made an interesting comment when playing this game last night when he was over- the game dosn't feel like a Nintendo game, and that it feels more like a Flagship (the ones by Capcom) title. Just a little bit of food of thought right there.

^ I'd agree with that. Feels somewhat similar to the likes of Oracle of Ages/Seasons mixed with elements of the Wind Waker and a train thrown in for good measure. It's good, but I think those aforementioned titles and Link's Awakening are still the best handheld Zeldas (discounting of course A Link To The Past on the GBA as it was a port. A very good port of a fantastic game though).
