Topic: Favovite Zelda game?

I didn't grow up on the games, sadly. I've loved BotW, LBW, and Awakening remake. LttP is also very good, although a tad fiddly switching items.

I only played OoT (3DS) a couple days ago. Very enjoyable. A little too obtuse for what I consider to be good game design now though (despite loving FROM software games ha!). Not just the side quests... I couldn't quite beat the Water Temple because I went in there without the Zora armour and had just 12s to beat an underwater fight in the central tower. I'm extremely thankful for all the QoL and other additions that the 3DS version gave us. Couldn't imagine beating it as a kid on the N64.

@rallydefault I assume the second game will also have climbing, making it useless.

@Zeldafan79 I still don't understand how Zelda II became 'hated'. It's one of the seminal Metroidvanias (and possibly even Souls-likes). Many modern indie hits were influenced by it (for example Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight). Already back in the day many developers imitated the formula (e.g. Faxanadu, Ys3, Battle of Olympus). Not exactly characteristic of a hated game.
