Is it just me or does this game feel semi-unfinished too? Like the fact Zora’s Domain stays frozen for no good reason and a lot of the main areas have like nothing to do - like I get that this was like one of the first 3D adventure games of its kind but as I get older I just start to notice these oddities. The game was amazing to me as a kid (still is now) and I am not from the generation when 3D games were new so I find it even more impressive that it put me in such a state of awe even though I could have easily turned to newer more advanced games instead.
I always thought Zora's domain stayed frozen because all of the evil still had yet to be vanquished (it wasn't totally fine until Ganondorf was defeated) but maybe you're right
The game is awesome until you reach the Water Temple. I found it way too confusing. I'm at the Shadow Temple now and I'm not having a good time. Maybe I'm finally hitting the age where I can no longer enjoy anything but what I grew up playing.
Water temple is amazing but only if you go into it prepared to keep close track of every room you've visited. It kind of needs to be played in a single session as well. As a kid I autopiloted the dungeon until I got stuck, and ended up having a very bad time running around for a solution. Replaying it a decade later (with basically no memory of the layout/puzzles), I went in with a mindset of extra attentiveness and I was able to really appreciate the challenge.
