Language Learning: 5/5
It's hard to say what the difficulty of 神々のトライフォース was. When I requested this book to be added, I said L20 because that's how the characters (Link and his uncle) were speaking at the time. But the difficulty jumps around quite a bit due to different speaking styles, both casual and formal. There were easier stretches where Link was talking or thinking to himself. But then suddenly a character would lore dump and I'd have to look up every word and a ton of grammar points.
On the one hand, this means there were sections that were quite hard to get through. On the other hand, it meant I was able to get used to all sorts of different writing styles (and a few "I" pronouns I don't think I've seen before such as アタイ and おいら). I think the practice made this a good learning experience.
Enjoyment: 3/5
note: spoiler tags include spoilers for both the manga and the game since I'm comparing them
The game this manga is based on isn't exactly known for having the most in depth story, so it makes sense that the authors took some liberties with the story. There are quite a few additions/changes that I liked (basically everything relating to Link's personality and backstory, how dungeons were handled, the drama), some that annoyed me (Flute Boy, Link turning into a wolf instead of a bunny), and some that I really don't know how to feel about (ガンティ, Link's Triforce wish). But overall I enjoyed this manga. Not the best thing I've ever read, but it was fun to read. If anything I'd give this 3.5 stars but we can't do half stars
