Game: Hope: The Other Side of Adventure

Have you ever wondered what Princess Zelda was going through while she desperately waited for Link to come to her rescue? Maybe you have, and maybe you haven't, but I'd like to believe that if handled properly, her story could make for an interesting twist on the classic tale of the hero's journey. Unfortunately, Hope: The Other Side of Adventure takes what could have made for a groundbreaking and empowering experience, and utterly destroys it by substituting community theater-level soliloquy and angst for compelling gameplay.
