This version changes a lot of small elements of the original game that, on surface level feel unimportant, but really added to it’s dreadful atmosphere. So in my eyes this is a slight downgrade to the N64 version, only due to it’s slight changes in visuals, audio and mechanics that overall end up giving it less of an eerie feel.
Otherwise though, this is still an amazing way to play what is arguably one of the most surprising games of our time. It still boggles my mind that something like this that was pumped out in a year or less, with a plethora of shamelessly reused and repurposed assets managed to turn out this horrifically brilliant and original. It’s Zelda. You know it’s going to be good despite the flaws.
