Unlike most people my age, we didn't have Nintendo or any Zelda when I was young. So I have no nostalgic component to it, so I can only judge it on its gameplay merits. And as storytelling is my most important piece of gaming and that's the piece that Zelda skips (it's action RPG with puzzles) there's nothing to make me like it.
LOL - me either. My two younger brothers fought over gaming things when they were super young, so my dad made a decision that stuck until my parents were divorced - nothing newer than an Atari 2800 in the house.
If I had played it from the beginning or even from the 1992 release, I could see being into it today because of that. But since I didn't... it's entirely lost on me. I even have the gold cart of Ocarina, but hated the game so much I never completed it. I've given it quite the chance(s). I own nearly every entry in the series, but after the last few titles just got less and less on par with other games, I've given up trying to understand the appeal. It's just not my thing.
You didn't enjoy a link to the past?
I enjoyed no title in the series. Link to the Past and Windwaker are the two that I found best. But not good enough to say that I enjoyed them. By the end Windwaker makes me angry to even mention, playing it or even thinking about playing it grinds on me. My kids want me to play it and I just can't do it. There is no reason to subject myself to it, it just ruins my time.
To me their are like Marvel movies. They feel like they were phoned in in such a way that the people making them seem to be mocking the people who bought them. I feel like Nintendo (or Marvel) are laughing at me for being unable to not give them money no matter what they do.
I can't tell you what to like but a link to the past in one of my favorite games. I like the fact that they are campy. It's part of the fun.
Campy is fine. I love Earthbound. It's that they have nothing about them that I find fun. The gameplay is bad, the action is horrible and there isn't a story - none at all. I can totally get behind campy. But campy has to be combined with something enjoyable. Like funny, or a good story, or awesome action.

Let's see - I had a
Commodore 64
Atari 2800
original gameboy (which was given to me broken - my parents found it two years later and for my birthday, had it fixed
what a waste)
8088
286 - Pentium (and most consumer processors since)
Nintendo Wii - what was I thinking? complete waste of money. -
You missed out on the SNES, that was my favourite console. So many great games. The 16bit JRPG era was classic.

I wouldn't say I missed it Bob.

Just helped my eight year old with an AoE2 campaign.

Is Dyling Light on sale right now?

I reinstalled Dishonored after reading and watching stuff on Dishonored 2. It made me want to play, but not enough to buy it.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the "savings". I'm holding out on FO4 until the season pass drops below $20.

$8 is better than $16. But right now, I've got all the FF games that I want.
