What is it about this game that makes people who haven't liked Zelda since SNES rave about it? Like, what are the "past failures" in those games that BotW improved on? Majora's Mask may be my favorite video game of all time.. and OoT is just classic perfection. I've played the older games and newer games (Zelda was also my favorite growing up, it was an extremely formative part of my childhood) and loved them all. I remember Wind Waker got shit on a lot, but I thought it was great. I always viewed the LttP purists as being hindered by their nostalgia.

I haven't kept up with Zelda as of late though b/c I simply don't have the time I used to for games, and I love Zelda so much that it would be hard to me for casually keep myself up to date without fully immersing.. if that makes any sense.
