Guessed by @UnderwaterFunktown
This was my first all-time favorite game that felt truly mine. Something about its story, its presentation, and its super-fun gameplay just connected with me really deeply, and maybe its controversial nature among Zelda fans made it even closer to my heart. Don't worry Skyward Sword, I got your back.
Seriously though, I've played and replayed and replayed this countless times and every time I pick up that Wiimote it's like I never left (picking up the Joy-Con does not feel the same, not gonna lie). The gameplay just feels so good, the levels are so fun to play through - especially the stellar set of dungeons - and I don't mind putting up with some of the padding if it means re-experiencing this beautiful story about people who'll stop at nothing to save each other and end up saving the world in the process. Nintendo's games in general have gone really downhill since then in terms of storytelling, this was them at their writing peak.
Anyway, I don't really have much more to say that I haven't already. Y'all have read my many posts on this over the years, and I'll always love this game like it's still my #1.
