### 1/5 — Fun, but only with controller.

*2026-07-04, version 3.4*

This was my favorite game a few years ago, so I bought it up on iPad, but without a controller it is super frustrating. I think I’ll just go back to Steam to play it.

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-06-23, version 3.4*

Coolll

### 5/5 — An epic adventure

*2026-06-17, version 3.4*

This game is worth every penny you pay. The gameplay the style the music it’s such a brilliant game. You really get a sense of adventure when exploring between islands

### 1/5 — Starting Island Audio Glitch

*2026-06-08, version 3.4*

The game seems relatively fun. The controls are pretty bad though. There is also a very annoying audio glitch on the starting island when you are roaming around which makes the game near about unplayable. If you turn the action sound effect slider all the way down it gets rid of the glitch along with all of your action sfx which is annoying and immersion breaking. I doubt this will ever get fixed though based on other reviews.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-31, version 3.4*

I used to play this game when I was younger I see newer versions come up now but there nothing like the original I find that this game had great story line and a lot of interesting ideas I’m not sure if the developers will see this review as it’s been over 12 years but I really appreciate what this game has brought to my younger life it ultimately got me introduced into gaming thank you to the developers and I hope they continue it’s sad to see that this game doesn’t have a lot of attention anymore Thank you

### 3/5 — Great game just one problem

*2026-04-13, version 3.4*

Currently playing on latest ios on Iphone 17pro. The game has some minor sound glitches that make it unplayable for me as of now. Just kind of feel like I wasted $8 if they don’t fix that soon…

### 5/5 — Fantastic Wind Waker inspired game!

*2026-04-11, version 3.4*

This game touched my heart and made memories. I remember playing this game for the first time and loving everything about it. The story is wonderful. The quests are amazing, and the gameplay itself? Fantastic. Even the side quests are amazing because they don’t just count towards 100%ing the game, they actively help you complete the game. Compared to The Wind Waker, this game is just as good and even outshines it in some areas. Considering that this game is for mobile, the controls are more limited than console, but it is still very much playable, even close to the console alternative. The game runs smoothly on the iPhone XS, and I can say with confidence that this game is very much fun. Although some puzzles and bosses may be frustrating, the rewards and the gameplay itself more than make up for this. Great Game, 10/10, would recommend to anyone who is a fan of any 3D Zelda games!

### 5/5 — iPhone 12, iOS 26.3.1

*2026-03-07, version 3.4*

Excellent, aucun bug. Il vous faudra des heures pour le finir à 100%. Les fans de Zelda seront comblés. 👌🏻

### 3/5 — 面白いんだけど

*2026-02-13, version 3.4*

すっごいおもしいんだが、音声のノイズが酷い。
ﾌﾞｽﾞｨｯ!て音が所々に入ってて不愉快

### 3/5 — Needs polishing…

*2026-02-11, version 3.4*

Game have a great potential, but is chrashes way to often, and all save data vanishes a little to bit to unexpectedely, so it’s almost impossibly difficult to enjoy it however…
