At release many people were disappointed by how different it was from Sands of Time and how relatively little it focused on platforming. The new edgy style and "trendy" music (which was actually just too late for it to be popular trendy, so it was know a disliked gone fad) were also widely criticized.
In retrospect, the level design, lore, and combat are fantastic.

99% of the time it's a long ascent with annoying fights/encounters and no way to save in an effort to starve you of recovery items before the boss.
Nah. It's a kino idea, but more often than not, it is poorly designed. I used RPGs as an example, but the general idea for how people fuck it up persists.

destiny 2 has a bad rep here, but the final shape raid did this so well.
You spend the raid scaling a tower of babel-eque structure, and after you fight to the top you realize that the entire tower was a section of the big bads body.

WW was being hated becuse it took a 180° turn on lots of thing that made SoT great like atmopshere but it was still a good chance of pace.
The combat and gameplay was also vastly improved and no one questioned on that front at least.
