    I enjoyed it immensely, mostly as a change to the usual Zelda formula. I doubt it'll hold the same replay appeal as other games in the franchise have - The Wind Waker, for example. Funny thing is, I also don't see the appeal of Ocarina of Time (much). The game didn't endear itself to me when I...

    I'm sure that would be unpopular in certain circles - I happen to agree, never much liked green anyway. I really like being able to play Link without that floppy green nightcap, too.

    Nostalgia's got a lot to do with the praise for Ocarina of Time, especially when it comes to comparing it with newer titles. I played it right after The Wind Waker, and though I thought it was fun, the controls are really sticky by comparison which was an immediate turn off for me. Couldn't...
