One of the few major N64 games that most people don't already have. At 1000 points, it's a steal. "Use a boost to get through!" I just wish they would hurry up and release more 64 games!!!!
Listen up, guys and gals... the thing here is to rate this NOT as a Zelda game, but as a side-scrolling action adventure game.
Though it doesn't remain true to the Zelda standard, this game has influenced many of the 3D Zeldas, and was the first Zelda to make normal enemies HARD.There is an armored enemy with a ton of health, capable of blocking and attacking in the same ways Link does. Fighting those guys practically made the whole game worth it.
It also boasts the first appearance of Shadow Link, and in my eyes, that makes this an instant classic. It's not perfect, but it's pretty amazing.

Re: R-Type III
If you hate getting stuck on the last level, don't get this game.
IT IS HARD!!!!!!!
If you enjoy a challenge, however, then this is one of the best space shooters out there.
