I got sick and forgot to play way back in 2020 and I've been too scared to log back on and see how bad my village has become since.
It finally clicked for me, this game is great!
2020
RE3R is fun but it kind of peaks in the opening city set piece. The added world building and context provided to RE2R was cool too. Game is pretty short compared to the other RE games, but it's very replayable with the extra unlockables

Amazing remake that fixes pretty much all of my issues with the original game while still feeling like a unique experience compared to the original. Both games are stupid fun that I will be replaying for a long time!

I slept on this game for too long! This is one of the most fun games I have ever played in my life. The shooting gameplay loop with the ganados is kino and never gets tiring.
My only issues involve the pacing and the controls. The second half of the game (about halfway through the castle) drags a bit for me and I really hate the novistadors. The tank controls are fine for the most part, but leon feels a little too slow during boss fights sometimes. None of these are big enough issues to deter from how stupid fun this game is though

Breath of the Wild is at it's best when you're running around and exploring the world. Finding new things is always super satisfying and going for 100% was not as bad as everyone made it out to be. I think the ending is pretty underwhelming and the final boss is not very satisfying which left me wanting more.
Ocarina of time is truly one of the video games of all time.
If you want to check it out, play the 3DS remake. It completely replaces the original and is better in every way.
OOT is a good game, but is underwhelming if you go into it with the mindset of it being one of the greatest games of all time. The whole game feels very bare bones and simplistic which makes it harder to revisit. I also think the pacing of the initial child section is too slow and these are what often kill my attempted replays of the game. Also the stupid owl is terrible and won't shut up!
Also 100% is not worth it and feels more like busy work since the open world is so bare bones. OOT is still a fine game, but it's definitely overrated. I don't consider it to be the greatest game of all time and it's nowhere near my favorite zelda game (Majora does everything this game does, but better).

Still my favorite zelda game. If you wanna play it, play the original (either on an N64, virtual console or some other emulator)! A lot of the changes made in the 3DS version suck and the version on the zelda collection for the gamecube crashes a lot (often resulting in lots of lost progress)
Majora is a huge step up from Ocarina of Time. The characters are better, the world is better and is actually fun to explore/doesn't feel like a chore to navigate, the sidequests are better.
Majora's tone and world building are still super unique and special. There is no other zelda game like it and it's the one I still find myself coming back to often. Going for 100% completion is also super fun and engaging since you get to experience all the sidequests and get to really understand the characters and their schedules. Still my favorite zelda game!

The original Windwaker is still super great! The art style is timeless and still looks great and a lot of the music stands out and is super memorable. Link's animations are great too and really help the game stand out. I think this is the first 3D zelda game where the combat feels super fun through a mix of flashy animations and interesting optional mechanics. The game just feels very cinematic which helps it stand out and make it super memorable.
Dungeons are pretty good and bosses are fun!
Navigating the seas can be a little tedious on the GC without the swift sail, but I still didn't really mind it.
The triforce hunt at the end sucks, but I think it's overblown (and the remake also cuts it down a lot anyway).

This is the only version of OOT you should play (I'd still be saying this even if the only change was you could mash through the owl dialogue).
It's still OOT so it has a lot of the same problems I had with the original (Early game pacing is slow, a lot of the overworld is bare bones and boring to explore and 100% is still not worth it), but the changes made make the experience a lot better and easier to revisit. The remake looks a lot better too (although that goes without saying).
Including master quest is also appreciated and is an interesting distraction worth at least one playthrough to see the new dungeon layouts.

There's a lot to like about Twilight Princess. This game has some of the best Zelda dungeons hands down and a lot of the dungeon items are super fun if situational. Midna is pretty cool too. The combat is pretty fun and flashy looking similar to windwaker and there's enough of a variety of moves to make it interesting throughout the game.
The story is interesting right up until the Zant fight and they do the Ganondorf reveal. The art style also hasn't aged as well. A lot of the characters look really ugly (Malo still haunts me). Also the beginning starts off super slow (way more so than OOT) although it definitely picks up after you get out of the village.
Still a good game but not my favorite zelda. Going for 100% was kind of tiring as well. I felt super burned out after going for 100% in this game and would not recommend it.

The original Zelda holds up surprisingly well if you use a guide to locate the dungeons. Going for 100% in the main quest was pretty fun and it felt rewarding going from being so vulnerable to being able to dish out a lot of damage.
2nd quest on the other hand does not hold up. Lot's of enemy spam in dungeons (especially the darknuts). None of the other changes stand out to me enough to make playing through second quest worth it.

Majora 3D feels completely different to the original and not always in a good way. While some changes like the new bomber's notebook, the new double song of time mechanic and the pretty visuals are nice I honestly hate a majority of the new changes made.
Deku water hopping and zora swimming feel terrible now and really kill the pace of those sections. I hate the changes to the bosses the more I think about them too. The gyorg and odolwa fights are fine enough but the new eyeball weak point in the Goht fight completely breaks the pace of it for me and the twinmold fight goes on for too long. The giant's mask reveal is cool, but the giant gameplay feels super slow and clunky compared to the original and it's possible to run out of magic and be screwed.
This game is just very frustrating to me as someone who loves the original. If you had to choose between playing this or never playing Majora's mask you should obviously play the 3DS version, but the many inferior changes make it hard to recommend this version over the original with an emulator with a fast forward feature.

This game is so good! It still holds up and it's easy to see why so many people still consider it to be their favorite 2D metroid (I constantly go back and forth in my rankings).
Gameplay is still super fun, I think super has the most satisfying wall jumps and mastering the movement feels super rewarding. The atmosphere is great, the exploration feels super rewarding and all the little random extras are fun to discover.
Sequence breaking makes it super fun to replay as well. I still feel like there's so many different ways I could play through the game.

This game is so good! Metroid is just so good!
Samus is back! Dread plays super well, the exploration and atmosphere are all there and the sequence breaks are back and super fun to mess around with. Going for 100% is super rewarding and feels totally doable without a guide.
The game play is a big step up from return of samus and is super fast paced and fun! Dread also has some of the best bosses in all of 2D metroid and has some really amazing cinematic and satisfying moments that I still think about.
