90S was the best in terms of nostalgia, and being blown away as a kid. in terms of gaming though it's much better now. Nintendo was really the only one that had games that can take 25-40 hours to complete, everything else of quality was short unless you like JRPG which i don't. something like elden ring or botw would give you more playtime then 80% of 16 bit games lol.

You had Frontier Elite 2, explore the entire galaxy, seamless landing onto any planet, in 1993. Civilization, Dune 2, Sim City, Baldur's gate, Might and Magic, Flight Simulator, Ultima Online, Everquest, Populous, Master of Orion, Transport Tycoon, tons of games you can play for longer than BotW.

BotW still gives you more play time than 90% of other games!

Mainly talking about console games as I'm sure most gamers in that era never heard of these  games as PC gaming was very small back then. It's not just botw by the way. Most games were 2-3 hours longs in the early 90s till n64/ps1 came out. Gaming is just massively better now. You can play racers, fighters, and shooters online. Triple aaa single player games are mainly around 20-40 hours long and that's not even including if you want different endings and wanna get complete all the side missions, then you have massive open worlds like gta, witcher 3, botw,rdr2 and skyrim giving 100s of hours of gaming. Just compare thr highest rated games of 90s to the highest rated games of 2010-2020 and compare play time it's not even close.
