I think OoT 3D is the rare example of a good remake. It barely messes with OoT itself, only adding a couple of tiny things, it just understands that being born in the year that it was, it's ultimately going to have a bunch of built-in issues, born out of technical necessities and just lack of knowledge about things that wouldn't work. So, OoT 3D fixes the framerate, makes the aiming actually work, and I guess brings the graphics to 3DS standards, which is ultimately going to always change a little bit of how you perceive a game, but it's also kind of unavoidable.

Ultimately, yeah, OoT is still a fun game. A bit aged in some areas, and a bit basic in quite a few, but there's something about its dedication to simplicity, whether intentional or not, that I appreciate.
