Current Events > Hot take: Link to the Past is overrated as hell

(+) Yeah! (+)

Bland overworld
Just turns into a dungeon grind in the 2nd half
No atmosphere at all

All 3D Zeldas are better. Link's Awakening and Oracle games are much better. OG Zelda might be better too lol

I strongly disagree. 3D Zeldas are overrated as fuck. At least you can make an argument for Oracles & Link's Awakening being better than AttP.

Yeah I've never been able to get into lttp

Agreed, and I cant believe its a hot take but it really is for some reason. People just have a massive hard on for ALttP. Ill repost what I said in the other Zelda topic:

As someone who has recently played through all the Zelda games for the first time within the past year or so (except for BotW, havent played it yet), ALttP is MASSIVELY overrated. Like its honestly baffling to me how the nostalgia goggles in this thread make everyone think its the best one. Its a great game for sure, I love it and its one of the best games Ive ever played, but both OoT and Wind Waker are much much better.

Ill never forget my first time playing through OoT especially, that game is magical from start to finish and I can forever replay it over and over without not being entranced by its design, story, characters, gameplay, etc. I honestly cannot say the same for ALttP, I got bored halfway through my replay of the game and stopped altogether. Incredible game for sure, but definitely not the best game in the series.

No atmosphere? Really?

It's definitely not anywhere close to "GOAT" territory but it's an incredible game that's aged remarkably well.

I played a randomizer of it this year and still greatly enjoyed it. Plus the randomizer meant I got to relive the child like enjoyment of not knowing where anything was and having to come up with new solutions to puzzles using different items.
