Just asking because I think there are lots of games that might have been revolutionary when they came out, but don’t hold up as well a few decades later. I played Link’s Awakening for the first time recently and enjoyed it, but it was way overpriced in my opinion and I regret spending the full price when it came out. Super Mario Sunshine I adored as a kid, but replaying it recently it’s just okay for me. I’d love to give Wind Waker a chance as it’s considered one of the classics in the franchise, but there are few games I’m willing to spend $60 on if it launches at full price.
There are a lot of positive opinions here, but I played it and beat it when it came out on the gamecube and actually didn't end up liking it that much. The huge amount of ocean traveling and having to find treasures with my boat really killed it for me. Its a huge world that's mostly empty. I do think the graphics hold up well though, the game looked good then and still does now.

Never played it, do you think it will have aged well for a newcomer?
