I'm not sure it holds up. It doesn't have analog camera, it runs at 240p resolution and average 20fps, there's hitching when you pause the game, saving quitting and resuming doesn't retain your position in the game, most puzzles involve block pushing or just shooting a switch, there's unskippable cutscenes every 30 seconds, the lock on bounces to enemies you don't intend it to, there's knee high fences you cannot vault over, there's inclines the horse refuses to move beyond, you have to play several songs and run back to the temple of time to transform between child and adult forms, rupees are completely worthless and seemingly the only reward you get for exploration, the dialogue options are redundant just forcing you to pick Yes, there's tons of things the game just doesn't explain, there's tons of things the game over explains, the map is useless, a lot of the only sidequests in the game are fetch quests, nonexistent swimming controls, arbitrary limitations between child and adult link items, the teleports between areas leave a lot to be desired, no faster movement mechanic for young link, the challenge is virtually nonexistent, there's a lot of backtracking for 100% completion, Navi gets stuck repeating the same info routinely, many items are just palette swaps or replacements with the same functionality, and there's no world building or character development.

For its time like 30 years ago it must have been really impressive, however these days I can probably give it a 7/10. Twilight Princess was a direct upgrade and I'd rather play it instead.

I don't hate the sailing, I hate having to use the wind waker all the time to just be able to move around. Also loses it's appeal after you beat the game once and know where everything is, makes replays just tedious.

I still like Duke, but quake and Doom MOG I hard IMO. I feel like Dukes levels play samey and if I'm going to play Duke I'll play a little bit of 3d and a little of time to kill and other Duke shit. The character is better than the games and I feel like playing doom and quake 1 feels less samey than Duke 3d. But that's just a personal preference.

I like Orta but it's padded, has a worse story and the weapon level up system isn't that good. It also needed a new game plus mode.

It's far from a snoozefest but Zwei is better apart from the framerate.

Orta is overrated and Saga is surprisingly kino.

There are barely any scans of Japanese GameCube manuals for whatever reason. PS2 seems to have a decent amount (hell, there’s a complete collection of English scans by Kirkland on archive.org)

Fair enough. I would agree that the sixth gen struck a more grim tone because of "enhanced realism" in graphics and the rising popularity of the medium among non-nerdy young people. But there was still room for a bit of everything. Things really got dire in 7th gen.

This game really shows why so called 'tank controls' and tile based movement worked so well with Tomb Raider gameplay. With analog movement and "jump from any point within the tile" controls the platforming is so much worse that even the simplest jumps from Tomb Raider can become a burden in this.

I just got the gears puzzle. What a retarded design. They couldn't have made it more misleading if they tried. So you have a bunch of symbols on the doors and the stones, turns out they don't mean anything. Instead you just have to line up the stones like they were gears, except the things don't look like gears and their shapes would never act like gears irl.
