It's a wonderful throwback to the days of 2d Zelda. It's not challenging though as it's quite generous with healing items. Personally I wasn't looking for a challenging game but others may be disappointed in that regard.
   It also has a lovely bedtime story vibe reminiscent of the princess bride. It's one of my favorite indies :).… Expand

   As far as Zelda imitation games go, this is one of the best, at least in terms of gameplay. Sure some of the combat feels a bit less strategicAs far as Zelda imitation games go, this is one of the best, at least in terms of gameplay. Sure some of the combat feels a bit less strategic and more brutish, considering enemy placement, but the boss fights are just the right amount of challenging. The puzzles, too, while not difficult, are actually fun to solve (something that can't always be said for EVERY Zelda game). It's a solid length and it's certainly a game I would play again. My only real issues is that the overworld isn't incredibly interesting, nor is the story. The characters occasionally have some silly dialogue, but never feel fleshed out. Maybe that's the point, since it's a bedtime story, but the only real motive to continue is for the gameplay as opposed to any story investment. The game ends rather abruptly, too, leaving me wanting more. Naturally, I'm looking forward to a sequel, if only for new battles and puzzles. A more involving story would be nice, too.
   
   There are some glitches that are irksome, not necessarily game breaking though. I would do what was necessary to solve a puzzle in some cases only to have the puzzle reset. I would then leave the room to see if I could find anything else to make the puzzle doable, but to no avail. But when I returned and retried to puzzle it would suddenly work. This only happened a few times, so it wasn't so bad, but it was still annoying when it did happen. Aside from occasional spammy enemy placement, this was my only gripe with the gameplay.
   
   If you've got a Switch (or a PC) I recommend this game.… Expand

   I really enjoyed playing this game and if you are even contemplating getting it, just get it. I knew little about the story going into it butI really enjoyed playing this game and if you are even contemplating getting it, just get it. I knew little about the story going into it but I'm a sucker for pixel games so I jumped right in.
   
   Pros: The game looks beautiful, the music is good, the fact that the story is based on the grandpa telling it is so sweet, the puzzles. The play time is good too, I spent around 10 hours to finish this game which includes time I spent on doing some side quests. There are some hidden areas in the map that give you rewards which are fun to look for.
   
   Cons: The only thing I didn't really like in this game is that when using your bow and arrow if you activate facing one direction then you have to shoot it facing that direction which is sometimes a waste if your enemy moves suddenly. The reason I'm not giving this game a 10 is because sometimes the game is too forgiving and it kind of throws away your incentive to play well because you can find hearts so easily. Coins are also too easy to obtain.… Expand

   Blossom Tales es un juego tributo a los primeros Zelda para Game Boy y SNES y la verdad hicieron un trabajo increíble. El aspecto visual esBlossom Tales es un juego tributo a los primeros Zelda para Game Boy y SNES y la verdad hicieron un trabajo increíble. El aspecto visual es casi una réplica de A Link To The Past o Link’s Awakening, en algunos lados lo ponen como un error y a mí me pareció un estilo. La música no la recuerdo en lo absoluto, así que tuvo que haber sido lo que se requiere de estos juegos. La jugabilidad está bien, adecuada, usa lo de escoger en qué botones queremos nuestras armas como en Ocarina Of Time (otro tributito a Zelda). La historia es cualquier cosa, sin ahondar demasiado, simplemente: oh durmieron al rey, ve y sálvalo sin mucho más.
   
   El aspecto más positivo es su dificultad, es que parece un juego tranquilo y no, para nada. Hay partes del juego que de verdad te agobias y repetirás miles de veces. Parte del estilo del juego es meterte 40mil enemigos en la pantalla y ver cómo te arreglas, para eso tienes una buena cantidad de armas y poderes que te ayudarán depende de tu estilo de juego. Los poderes son más o menos del mismo nivel y dependerá más bien de ti que de la situación.
   
   El juego va más o menos así: buscas un dungeon, luego buscas cómo abrirlo, luego lo pasas y luego buscas el siguiente. Los dungeons están llenos de puzzles que son básicamente los mismos siempre, al final cansa un poco, SOBRETODO EL MALDITO DE LA MUSIQUITA DE LAS PIEDRITAS. Hay un tipo de puzzle maldito también que es seguir un camino que se cae apenas lo pisas, yo juego con un control pro y tuve que cambiar a llorar joy-con para usar la cruz porque la del control no es tan buena. En cada dungeon hay dos monstruos, en el medio y al final, bueno, el monstruo del medio del Segundo mundo me costó horrores pasarlo y pensé que todos serían tan insoportables de pasar, pero no, y no es que la dificultad del juego baje, sino que te acostumbras a jugar y mejoras.
   
   Lo bueno: un juego muy balanceado y bueno, con una dificultad muy agradable. Tiene muchos poderes y armas. El juego tiene cierto encanto que te engatusa y te hace querer más, como si jugases un clásico. Evolucionas al jugar y te haces cada vez mejor.
   
   Lo malo: los puzzles son repetitivos y siempre los mismos. El juego parece corto a pesar que me tardé 10 horas en pasarlo, pero te llega a parecer que el mundo es pequeño. Es un poco fastidioso llegar a sitios.
   Te deja con ganas de más, y sé que esto puede ser bueno, pero es que de verdad parece muy corto.… Expand

I thought the way the story was presented, with the grandpa narration, gave it its own personality although being an almost Zelda clone. The puzzles were fun to figure out. Most were way too easy and a few were a bit tougher. The combat was just way too easy as everything dies in one hit of the arrow or boomerang. The enemies that come in swarms (bees, zombies, fireball things) can be killed with one use of the quake medallion also. My biggest gripe was how short the game was. I blew through it in one day (8hrs) and was left scratching my head wondering if there was more or if I really just beat it. I hope that if they make a sequel that they remove some of the insta-kill methods and make the enemies just a tad bit harder along with the bosses. Also a few more hours of game play would be nice. Either way it was worth playing and I did have fun with it.… Expand
