Replayed on NSO and enjoyed this way more than on Wii VC back in the day. I mustve played it using a GC analog stick or something the first time because I remember it controlling much worse than it really does. Game is mostly easy, but the exploration strikes the right balance between obscure/rewarding while rarely if ever feeling the need to write things down or look them up. Not that the latter can’t be rewarding, but the feeling of finding an item and immediately having an idea of obstacles on the other side of the world that you can get past with it is great. Super Metroid is the same way so its no surprise hacks and randomizers of both would be so popular — once youve played them its near impossible to forget “what gets me past this” so even when things are all mixed up you can always have an idea of whats next
