      Same here, although I was a few years older. I remember still having that childhood imagination and just falling into that world. I would run home from school so excited to play. I had so many different dreams for the ending, like thinking Link would marry Zelda or the girl at the horse fam (I forgot her name, and I obviously didn’t know much about Zelda canon at the time). I was almost depressed when I beat it because there was no more left! No game to this day has ever captivated me like that (having the imagination of a child really helped).

    Termina will always be the best non-Hyrule setting to me because the game got me to want to get to know all the NPCs characters no matter how minor. In all other games, I'd only talk to NPCs that are required to a quest

    The best Legend of Zelda game will forever be ALttP for me. Just hearing that Hyrule music brings me back! It seems like a younger generation of people have the same feeling for OoT, TP, or WW that I do for ALttP. Nothing was better than coming home from school as a kid, booting up the SNES, and exploring every nook and cranny that encompassed Hyrule & The Dark World. I remember feeling like that map went on for AGES, and then to find out there was an entire second world? It may not be everyone's favorite, and I know a lot of my opinion is based solely on that feeling of nostalgia that I get when I play, but ALttP has yet to be outdone. I feel like LoZ was the best when it was in 2D. I was born and raised on 2D LoZ games and found 3D ones clunky and hard to control the camera settings. The only 3D that's come close is BotW for me because the customizability of the camera settings. I know a lot of OoT, TP, & WW fans that would get angry at the thought that someone would put BotW & ALttP ranking higher than those games, but that's just my preference. I don't have the same childhood attachment to the other games because I was an adult by the time they came out. And practicality-wise I found BotW game play the easiest to adapt to.

      Alttp is super epic in its own way! I was 10 playing it for the first time, and its music, characters, places, objects, architectures, are in my hearth forever. I have Alttp dearer than Oot because it came first, but the second is obviously another very loved memory. The two games, if you look deep, got very sweet tributes in Botw, because a lot of the lore comes from the two masterpieces, see for example the fact that the sacred forest lies in the same place as it was in Alttp, and the Zora's Kingdom is a superb evolution of the one in Oot... it is all pretty divine to me, and I love Nintendofor creating such a story and its videogames.

    I don't understand why so much people find the exploration of the ocean of wind waker so extraordinary while nobody speaks of the one of phantom hourglass which is better to my mind, less empty, more things to do, a good music too. Yes the wind waker game is better than phantom hourglass, better story, more challenge, not on ds, but for the setting, one of them is clearly overrated or the other underrated

    Botw has a good size of overworld, but I do wish there had been more variety to it. Most of the games have a dual world mechanic, and I would like to see that return, either with a shadow world or with time travel. Plus, I want more sailing, flying, and more places with shadow temple type vibes.

Hyrule field, Lake Hylia, The desert, and that big empty ice field that you have to pass through as wolf link all had potential if there were actually enough things to justify them being so big.
