The last time I played this game was 2012. Over 2 days I beat it again in 2021. I think any gripes I've had with it in the past are solved by engaging with as little side content as possible. The world of OoT is largely unenjoyable and the rewards for exploration are unrewarding. That said, the NPCs usually have something interesting to say, at least post-time skip, which makes the world feel slightly lived in, although the majority of Hyrule feels far more gamey than some of the later titles. The dungeons are some of the best in Zelda, and the bosses are either really fun or really boring. OoT 3D offers a lot of great QoL improvements over both the original and the majority of Zelda games. I think OoT is most interesting and enjoyable if viewed as a sort of Zelda 1 Remake; many required items are pretty unintuitive to acquire, but the addition of 21st century graphics allows there to be some worldly indication that you do need to blow up a wall or something. Despite the criticisms of this review, I really, really had a lot of fun playing OoT 3D this weekend. The core game is easily one of the best Zelda games to date, so as long as you ignore as much optional content as possible you'll enjoy this game as well.
