We are all old

9/10, still holds up nicely.

3/5. I never really understood the hype surrounding that game, or most Zelda games in general.

I don't think the Zelda universe is for me.

I saw some comments on a Youtube video once from someone talking about Dead Rising being a game they loved to play with their dad, growing up

you know, Dead Rising, that fun Xbox 360 sandbox game

some people posting among us grew up with an Xbox 360

It seems in recent years people have turned on this game a lot, especially since Breath of the Wild was revealed. I think it's a bit "cool" to dis the established classics since its a bit of a "dad game" as people who grew up with it hit their 30s and 40s.

However to me it's a game that's excellent from top to bottom, it's so tightly designed and whatever flaws it has just make it all the more endearing, time has that effect on art.

It's the quintessential adventure game.

i always thought OoT was kind of mediocre but now I just look like a hipster for saying that

like, link's controls are far too stiff, you can't jump except for the little ones he does when Z-targeting, and the game's world would feel a lot better to me if you had more mobility, like in Mario 64. its stiffness is a thing I think a lot of people our age just don't see, while it sticks out like a sore thumb to anyone who didn't play it when it was new

there also weren't any dungeons i enjoyed at all

i had the game on a 3DS cartridge at one point, to try and give it a second shot but just ended up selling it off before I even completed the giant deku tree. I just really didn't want to play it. also the 3D was balls since it was a launch game on 3DS

that being said, I really didn't like any 3D Zelda games until BotW. which I ended up loving to pieces and putting over a hundred hours into

Not counting some 2D Zelda's with jump items like Link's Awakening--Breath of the Wild is the first game where you can just jump on command.

Turns out all it had to do was stop being Zelda and now you love it. lol
