This is a fairly old good article and has some issues, namely the following:
- Several sources are applied incompletely. Books/guides/magazines such as Prima's Official Strategy Guide, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Strategy Guide, lack page numbers.
- Some sources seem to be fan-based, such as GlitterBerri's Game Translations, NPhiles/NerdMentality, and McLoz.net
- The second section of the gameplay section has five citations at the end of a long paragraph and should be spread apart to clarify what the citations are trying to clarify.
- Some statements, such as "Like Super Mario World, this game used a simple graphic compression method on the Super NES by limiting the color depth of many tiles to eight colors instead of the Super NES's native 16-color tiles. The tiles were decompressed at runtime by adding a leading bit to each pixel's color index. Storage space was also saved by eliminating duplication: The Light World and the Dark World are almost identical in layout (though using differing texture tiles), and the Dark World exists in the ROM only as an "overlay" of the Light World." don't seem to have a source.
- The reception section does not have much detail on its initial reception, only the Famitsu content I added earlier this year. Most of it is just listing various "Best-of" lists the game was one, with very little critical discussion of what makes the game good or work. This section has been tagged for expansion since January and has had no real work done.
With all the above listed, I believe the article fails WP:GACR6 sections two and three on reliable sources applied appropriately and lacks coverage of the game's initial reception. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:34, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
