I played this game as a kid when it released and remembered not liking it very much. I remembered almost nothing about it. I didn’t remember a single boss fight or temple, like it was really wiped from my mind.

I wanted to play through it again because people always talk about how they love this game, but I found it really lacking and annoying at times.

Having to redo things each time you resets time made the game feel more like a chore. I understand that your going back in time, but it did not make for good gameplay.

I made it to the moon, but I’m burnt out at this point and a little under powered. I did not do any of the side quests as having to redo a bunch of stuff sounds terrible. I don’t want to get 3/4th through a side quest only to have to reset time.

Before resetting, I have to deposit money, then reset, then stock up my items again, and redo all the things I need to do to get back to where I was.

I have to admit that it is really original and a cool concept, but it does not work in practice.

I still put oot and wind Waker at the top of the 3d Zelda’s. (Not counting the switch games)

At this point, I’ll boot up oot and play through that again. I vividly remember child links part of the game and a decent amount of adult link. After that, I’ll try the master quest. I remember that being difficult and I never completed it when I was a kid.

I just started OOT a couple of days ago for the first time. After setting it to run 60fps and dual analog, it feels perfect. A fun adventure where every secret isn't so obvious and leaves room for imagination. The game suprises you often. I even like how it looks after disabling the texture filters.

The fire sound of the torches are killing me though. The PC port has a sound switcher but i can't find this annoying ear-tearing noise from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW6uTdDx7s8

Plan is to try Majora next. I'm probably going to hate it like you as i don't really enjoy time-loop games.

I’m going to play that port on my switch. I’ll get it setup tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
