This game made me take a field trip into the woods to yell at the trees. Buy it.

Revenge of a Red Headed Stepchild

You Will:
Fight a Dragon
Climb a Mountain
Find a Magic Sword (and then lose it between sequels)
Wonder why the blacksmith still charges you when you're the only thing standing between his shop and the end of the world.

You Won't:
Fall in love (The mountain is in a pretty heavy monogamous with a one eyed bearded hermit. You never stood a chance)
Get to color coordinate your uniform unless you are wearing every piece of the set for some reason.
Figure out who keeps putting these ruins and chests full of useful equipment everywhere.
See Dogi with a soul patch (See Larcimosa of Dana)

If you've never played a YS game before and you're a fan of top down Zelda it's probably up your alley. It's pretty bread and butter fantasy ARPG but it's comfort food at its finest.
