I know I should go back and complete Ocarina of Time. But no chance. Windwaker too.

I have fond memories of picking up Ocarina on launch day, and the moment I completed it I restarted and played it all the way through again. Then I started it again, but only got halfway through that time. Picking it up on 3DS I thought I’d rinse it again, but I guess I’ve changed and the game hasn’t and I can’t see me ever going back to any of the old Zelda’s now. Except Wind Waker. Maybe.

Confession time. I am a massive Zelda fan in general, but I never finished OoT or MM. Never had an N64 at the time, and then going back, it just felt so janky to me.  so yeah I am probably never going to go back to those

Had them both on cart. Have OoT on the bonus Windwaker disc. I won't ever play them to completion. I played MM - well - I fannied about long enough to see what the moon collision would look like.

LttP was a masterpiece. I'd consider playing that again.

The SNES. What a console. LttP and Super Metroid are the only two games of that style I have ever completed. Everything I've tried since just feels like a re-tread and doesn't keep me hooked.   I came close to completing Cave Story but I can't think of anything else.

It is. Metroid-ish.  I played the WiiWare version which offers the option of a slightly more polished look. The original look is fine and with charm. It's freeware on PC.

It's a bit more knockabout than Metroid. Its slick controls tempt you into rushing in and getting killed which is a laugh. Has that well built arcade feel and paced faster than Metroid but has the Metroid depth. The small amount of exposition is told in-game and doesn't get in the way.

Can I play on controller? Just downloaded a version of it and got a virus.

I first cleared it on Switch. Works totally fine. It is fun.

I have never played A link to the Past.  *runs away*

My OoT quest ended in Jabu's belly. Just got fed up wandering around. I went back to it a couple of times but just had had enough of that type of game. 3D has never really done it for me outside of driving games.

With Windwaker I was in a dungeon that involved puzzles raising and lowering water and moving between sections in the boat.

Twlight Princess - messed about on the horse (since I didn't reach that in OoT) and tried fishing for a bit. Then it went on my pile of shame.

I would like to return with WW. I liked the look of it and enjoyed the sailing around even if it was a bit empty. It was pleasant.

I really hate wandering about in 3D (and in 2D only to a lesser extent). It just feels like filler. Even that driving around in Forza Horizon between events started to annoy me after a very short time. Fuck that waste of time. 

Once I got M64 and Galaxy done, that messing about in hubs and meta-levels was done and dusted for me.

Just give me a bloody level select and be done with it.

The cart with that save is long gone.....victim of the 2017 clearout.

I came here to say I just started BoTW. AGAIN. About the 6th time now - the previous attempt got me into the first Divine Beast at last but then for some reason it got left for a year.

I was doing my best not to start it again and concentrate on Dread, but I was just a bit too fascinated to see how it looked on the OLED.

Well don’t leave us hanging; how does it look on the OLED?

Shadowman is a good shout. Over the years I've romanticised about the notion of doing another Morrowind play through, but I doubt it will ever happen. Some things are perhaps left in the past.

Shadowman interested me on Dreamcast but I fell into the usual getting stuck, leaving it for a day or two, forgetting what I was supposed to do,  and giving up schtick.

Headhunter on Dreamcast was a good one too but it fell to the same fate.   I just don't even look at that type of game any more.
