As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best games of all-time.
I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I tried playing OOT for the first time somewhere in my 20s. I hated the camera and controls and gave up on it pretty quickly. I never played any GameCube games, so I’m not sure there.
Wind Waker is really nice. Much better camera and controls. Also if you have the ability to play the Wii U version go for it! Otherwise there is a HD textures pack available for Dolphin which makes it look beautiful in 4K.
