I found captivating in a way that the franchise hasn’t truly managed before or since, although I still remain hopeful that a future game will recapture that experience.
It is fair to say that has had an immense influence on the franchise, and is arguably one of its most important titles to date.
Of course, that level of success may not be easily replicable for a variety of factors, but aspects of its appeal may still reappear in future titles regardless.
When it first released, presented a far larger and more detailed version of Hyrule than ever before, and understandably became immensely successful.
In many ways, is even the Nintendo Switch's defining game, being both a major launch title for the console and a perfect demonstration of what it was capable of.
