Haha they were fun to come up with. :)

Ocarina of Time was a near perfect game when it was released and it was tough to go back to a 2D Zelda from that point forward. Nintendo really outdid themselves with their 3D take on the Zelda franchise. But what made them great was the same things that made the ones that came before it great as well.

It really makes going back and seeing the roots of the modern Zelda formula fun! I will admit, I do miss the epic set pieces and sprawling 3D environments when I play them though.
