I have the nostalgia factor but generally don't let that get in the way. When I was younger I didn't quite understand what a game/form of media was saying or the deeper connections it made to the audience but then when you get older and smarter, you appreciate what they were saying.
Example being:
The Matrix, Majoras Mask, Cowboy Bebop and a few others. Never understood them when I was younger, but rewatching/playing them now makes you appreciate what really went into them. It's a different case with games like Sonic Adventure which was awesome back then(2003) but is incredibly bad by todays standard or has aged terribly(no nostalgia allowed).
I thought Majoras Mask was a fun game until you look at the finer details of that as opposed to the entire series.
I guess I look at mostly everything objectively now which has affected my thoughts on gaming.
I love Majora's Mask. There was something about affecting the flow of time, results and how it stood away from OoT with the time thing. And now the 5 stages of dying. Mind blown. That's what makes it my 2nd favorite Zelda.
2ND? I'm sorry. We can't be friends any more.
Just kidding. MM is my personal favorite Zelda, with Twilight Princess being my 2nd and A Link to the Past being my 3rd. The game is one of those that makes you think if you look into the background. It's the first game to try a dark fantasy type and treats the player like an adult. It's too bad that it's so short, which is the only reason why I want a remake, but with real graphics.
Someone told me to pick up a PS2 game called Ephemeral Fantasia becuse it plays like MM. I have yet to find a copy of the game, so maybe someone who has played it could tell me if I need to play it or not.
