Well these "rehashes" are always better than Ocarina of Time so whatever.
not going to debate this one way or the other, but these rehashes have also been consistently inferior to LTTP, LA, and MM, the series is stuck as a result of the OoT obsession
they mix the best parts of the N64 Zelda games
no, they take some elements(not even necessarily the best elements) of OoT, they've pretty much tried to pretend MM doesn't exist. skyward sword actually appears to be the first game taking any influence from MM at all
