The quest back into nostalgia
I remember the very first day I played this game. I was only seven years old, and I had always spent most of my time as a child playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Bomberman Hero, 007 Goldeneye, Kirby 64, and so many more.

I still died a few times, but mostly at the beginning, and it was just easier for me to get through it because I knew I needed to balance the four elements in order to make the strength of my staff much higher.
The nostalgia is what really makes this game so fantastic, and I guess if a person were to start playing this game now they probably wouldn't really enj... Read the rest of this Review
