That has to be the single most unprofessional article I've ever read. Bursting full of typos, badly build sentences and whining and insultingAlso this is from 2004. You use a 17 years old interview, written by an amateur as proof for Aonuma being a culprit or something.

I don't even care what you think of any Zelda game. I just didn't want you to go at him. Eiji Aonuma was the producer and director of my childhood favorite games and through that gave me some of my absolute best memories. Don't go and give me links to 17 years old articles of morons complaining about Aonuma being a "pussy". Literally the only Zelda games I don't like are the first two.

I don't get why you are trying to convince me of something. You think he's a bad developer? Just say it!

Funny enough, the very last game I ever played on the Wii U before I got the Switch at launch was Skyward Sword. Via backwards compatibility.

I never joined in on the Water Temple hate. It was the most difficult one for sure, not a bad one in my eyes at all. The design is just insane. I doubt most of the people complaining about it these days have even played it.

Aonuma joined Nintendo in 1988, before he played any video games at all. Since then he has been involved in some of my favourite games of all time. Nintendo saw something in him, and rightfully so.

You're actually bringing something up from over 30 years ago now, come join us in the present. 

edit: double negative

Water Temple is one of the best designed levels in any game.

Ocarina of Time is one of the best games ever made, but the Water Temple is a cool idea poorly executed.

Still, I don't ride the Aonuma hate train, he's been responsible for some truly great games.

Ehh, the way switching your boots worked was poorly executed and made the Water Temple super annoying. 3DS version fixes that (and also includes markers for where to go to change the water level, which is arguably also better), and then the level design shines through.

True, I was referring more to its original form, I never played the 3DS version.

One of my favorite Zelda games. Nice to see that it's 60 fps on Switch.

Yeah, it's sweet to finally see a 3D Zelda game running at 60. Since BotW 2 certainly isn't coming out in 2021 (well, who knows, really), I hope it can also run at 60 on Switch's next revision/soft successor. That potential console could also be slated for 2022, but a lot of people are expecting it for 2021, too. 

The Water Temple was a a bit exhausting, but I didn't think it was that bad. I actually thought the Forest Temple was worse.

But both pale in comparison to the torture and bullshit that is the Great Bay Temple.

FUCK. THAT. PLACE.
