Even the DS sequels were better in all those aspects.
Windfall is the only interesting location
It was fine. It's become popular to treat Wind Waker and Twilight Princess as if they were mediocre but I don't think they are, they stand very well among the best games of their generation. I guess they weren't as innovative as Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild, nor as artsy as Majoras Mask but neither did they need to be. Compared to Skyward Sword, they're masterpieces
so?
but Majora's Mask had such a living fleshed-out world and so many sidequests, how can you compare it to wind waker?
OoT felt bigger and better and it was released in 1998
>tfw they didn't know yet that "summer blockbuster" could be a thing with games too and had to push for that Christmas release in at least one territory
They could've still hit a fiscal sweet spot and actually shipped a finished game.
Post medli
I’m convinced this place doesn’t like any post-SNES Zelda game
Because it's loaded with padding just like Wind Waker.
