[ALTTP] Genuine: Why Do You Love A Link to the Past

I’m specifically looking for those that DO love it, especially anyone who played it for the first time in the last few years.

So I’m just gonna come out and say it: I absolutely hate A Link to the Past; like it ranks as one of the absolute worst (purely subjective based on my own preferences and not including shovelware) games I’ve ever played. I Honestly WISH I enjoyed it, but I just find so little to enjoy and so much that I am actively bothered by.

But I want to appreciate the game a little more, because clearly so many people absolutely love it. So please, tell me what I’m not seeing, what it is that makes this game so special? And to be clear: I’m not asking people to DEFEND it, I’d just love to understand what makes so many people love the game. It’s on my list to give another chance some day, so I’d like to go in with a different perspective.

Thank you!
