Pretty decent with the Improvement Mod. Still bafflingly weird but actually enjoyable at points.

Never have I been more tempted to pick up Unity modding just so I can slightly improve what is almost a gem of a game. The atmosphere and vibes are fantastic and the movement quite good. Surfing around a Nausicaa/Wind Waker-esque world to soft jazz is an enjoyable time. The game only sometimes makes full use of the tools it gives you, though. I particularly don't like how it handles rewarding the player for exploring or completing sidequests. Outside of a handful of collectibles, you just get currency to spend on cosmetics. Hiding some cosmetics around the world and/or being able to buy stat increases or upgrades would make exploring more worthwhile. The combat also felt underwhelming, mostly because you have such great movement (throw in a little bullet hell!) but no need to use it unless you make some self-imposed challenges. Characters are charming for the most part even if the narrative is a little rote. Good game to get on sale and vibe with for a few hours but stops short of being marvelous. 🌊

Incredible that the hour-long remake of game from decades past has a file size not far off from Zelda: TotK. Beautiful world and art direction, though.
