Zelda BotW's and Windwaker are quite similar

I sort of agree. I was like, 22-23 when Wind Waker came out so the nostalgia of childhood doesn't affect how I remember that game. The whole revinsionist thing really bugs me as I was there and I remember how underwhelming we all viewed it. It wasn't a bad game, but it was a huge step down from the two 3D games that came before it.

Botw seems totally different imo.

Yeah, coming off of the epic Ocarina of Time, my reaction (similar to Starfox Adventures and Mario Sunshine) was "wtf Nintendo, why did you have to go and mess with what worked?" For me, the Gamecube's library was experimental in the wrong kind of way. I wish then as I do now that they had simply taken what had worked so well on N64 and improved it instead of going off on a tangent with all these wierd art styles and gameplay gimmicks. Thankfully, they later returned to form with the likes of Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy.

Yeah, Sunshine, Mario Kart... both of those got shit on too. People talk about the Gamecube's library like it was legendary but back then, just going online and saying you OWNED a Gamecube got you mocked to the point of no end. There were a few amazing games for the system like Metroid Prime and Rouge Squadron 2 etc. but also so many underwhelming games as well. It was the first system I can remember where their main games weren't met with almost universial praise.
