This is kind of how I felt when Zelda went 3D.  To me the 2D Zelda games of the NES/SNES were the "real" Zeldas.  Every 10-20 years Nintendo decides to reinvent Zelda and go in a completely new direction with it.

Well, but Zelda has it's 2D-entries still. While admittedly Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks felt somewhat strange, what did you think of a Link between Worlds? Not satisfying enough for 2D-zelda-crave?

Well it's not the "2D" part by itself that I like.  It is the action from the NES Zelda games that I really like.  (The action in Link to the Past is pretty good too.)  For some reason, shortly after Link to the Past, even 2D Zelda games and Zelda clones became more about puzzle solving and less about action in itself.  I remember playing this 2D PS1 game, Alundra, which I liked at first, but the more I got into it, the more it became about puzzles, so after a couple of dungeons I quit, because that wasn't what I was really looking for.  I haven't tried every 2D or 3D Zelda game or Zelda clone, but the ones I have tried have all been about puzzles which I don't like.

I've only tried Link Between Worlds for a couple of hours.  I didn't love it or hate it.  I need to play it more before I can say how much I like it, but I can say that it didn't grab me immediately like the NES Zeldas did.  Ironically, a game I liked more is "Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why Did You Steal Our Garbage?"  This is an action oriented Zelda 2 clone.  It was fun.  I think Adventure Time has a Link to the Past clone, so I need to give that one a shot.
