Giving this a nice, thorough replay after a few years of being away from it has made me appreciate it so much more. Isn't it insane that a game from 1998 on a shitbrick of a console managed to create such a deep, engrossing world with tons of little side details and characters that may not do a lot, but provide a lot of charm and humanity to your adventure? Sure, Grezzo went ham with the graphical overhaul, but the core gameplay and world is still the same as it was 25 years ago. I wanted to bring up that part because I feel it's something that gets overlooked when some people (myself included) talk about Ocarina; yes, the adventure is perfectly paced with memorable and (in)famous dungeons, but it's not like the rest of the game is slouching in comparison. Just an entirely holistic experience that's so, so satisfying to play through every time. Some Zelda games may have improved on certain fronts, but this is the one that got everything consistently right. A game that means a lot to me, and holds a very, very special place in my heart.
