You weren’t the only one lmao.
Its just a lot of the complaints I saw more more based on opinion. Everyone’s experience between OoT and LttP is going to be different.
I mean, OoT was my first N64/3D game (skipped SNES and I didn’t get to play the NES very often.) I still remember how 10-11(ish) year old enthralled was with the environments and spent so many hours just pointlessly exploring the 3D areas just looking at everything.
Am I biased to OoT? Dear god yes I am. I would even say as a game I enjoyed MM and WW more, but I still hold OoT as my favorite to this day. The whole linear story line, waiting on enemies, 10 second chest animation stuff–etc– didn’t really bother me but added to my experience, because I guess I just prefer that sort of gameplay.
