I also loved this game on the 3DS. I've recently been playing the N64 version as well, and I gotta say the 3DS version is so much better. I'm not sure what it is, but movement feels a lot less precise to me in the N64 version. I have some replays of me trying, and failing, to break a pot with my sword as adult link, like 8 times before finally hitting it.

Also, I finally understand why everyone hates the water temple. The iron boots aren't an item in this version, so you have to go to the equipment menu every time you want to put them on/take them off.

If you're up for tinkering, there's a decent bit of mods for ship of harkinian. You can replace models with the 3DS ones, or even with Twilight Princess ones. There's also mods for higher resolution textures.

Lastly, check out all the settings. I forget what QoL are switched on by default, but there's a good amount of QoL you can toggle, like putting boots on the d-pad for quick equipping and unequipping so the Water Temple doesn't suck.

This is my favorite game like ever. Top ten at least. I love seeing that this is your comfort food of gaming 🥰

Best game of the bunch

I just finished playing this game on PC. I didn't know you could get Ship of Harkinian to run on a Steam Deck! I would've liked that so much more than using a mouse and keyboard!
