Summary
This game is an RPG game with you as the main character and hero of the series. The ultimate goal was to save Princess Zelda from a Ghost Ship. The character is on a quest to save Zelda as he encounters monsters and chalenges in finding tools.

Gameplay
It was my first time playing this game so I didn’t know what to expect. It was fairly easy to begin. The game created an entirely different world where I can talk to other characters and search out information and resources. It became a separate adventure and had a difficult time putting it down.
At first, it began as a movie. It explained the situation to me letting me learn the rules and goals for my quest. It was however difficult to understand exactly what to do once I landed on the island. It was not clear who or where I should go or talk to. I learned by experimenting and analyzing the situation.
I was entirely captivated by the plot and I found myself (with my name as the character) thinking of myself as the hero preparing for an adventure and searching for weapons. I sought dangerous places in the game such as caves and I felt that I was prepared for a challenge.
Interactions with other players was not there. I only interacted with bystanders that had something different to say only when I accomplished a goal and had another goal to set for me. The character in the game was pretty much already set. The traditional look was blonde elf looking which didn’t allow me to change the character at all.

Hi,

This was a pretty good entry, I liked your view on having to read everything and how it drew you into the world(I sort of felt the same, though I've not finished the game yet). In the design section you went into depth about how the stylus worked, but not much else, maybe next time go deeper into the other design elements of the game you're playing, like level design, battle system, puzzles and such? Also, your summary was very short. Try to explain the summary with a little bit more detail. Try to keep how you felt about the gameplay out of the other sections, but if you can't, I won't mark you down, it's just a recommendation.
