I'm playing through Phantom Hourglass for the first time (just before the final boss). I know this review is like 14 years old (oh god), but I'm curious if you stand by some of the things in here?

I think I'd be confident on walking back the anti-Nintendo intro, because who would have ever foreseen their complete attitude switch the, ahem, Switch regeneration period has granted them. I don't think my opinion on Hourglass will have changed much and that probably won't be tested unless I replay the game. Considering I (clearly) abhorred it the first time around, it's pretty unlikely it'll find its way back into my rotation. I appreciate I'm the minority voice in this but, then again, I doubt Hourglass will ever break into anyone's favourite Zelda game's list.

You're definitely not a minority in disliking this game. It seems decisive even today, with most complaints around doing the Temple of the Ocean King over and over.

All I can say about this game is that when I bought a 3DS, I quickly got Link Between Worlds and the remaster of Ocarina of Time, but after a bit of thought, I decided to not get this game or Spirit Tracks. Hard to put it into words, but something about those two just gave me a "minor league" vibe where I got the impression they were more into making games revolving around the stylus and touch pad than making legit good Zelda games.

Dagoss: I've not played Spirit Tracks. I'm not a big Zelda fan, truth be told. I've played the majority of the main releases and the only one I've enjoyed enough to replay has been Link's Awakening. I think it was because LA was a kooky spin off project that I loved that I gave Hourglass a chance in the first place. It didn't end well for me.
