Exploring Hyrule with rented items

Since it's Winter here in Ireland I have to take frequent breaks from playing Link Between Worlds because my hands get too cold to play—so let's blog!

The rental system is beautiful. I got the hookshot, bombs, hammer and other things that enable me to explore the big wide world of Hyrule with ease(apart from the bad guys). Like other Zelda games it's so much fun to find and navigate caves and mazes for treasure. There's a damn fun chicken avoiding sub-game as well.

I've yet to fully judge the impact this has on the plot — I haven't progressed since I started renting — but my belief is that enabling adventure without having to earn it through exposition should be encouraged as much as possible.
