Ocarina of Time was TOO perfect and ahead of it's time, so the water temple was very difficult on the low resolution CRT screens that was the technology at the time.

i'm first-timing it now and it's really good. my only major critique is that in retrospect with what we have now for design principles I'm really feeling that funky camera control mechanism in a similar way to how I felt it in SM64. Lock-on can be a little wonky sometimes. First-person is unintuitive without a crosshair/focus point. Those quirks are just early 3D, I guess, so it's not exactly bad design, just dated.

Also, give dedicated jump button, please god, there's platforming and it's 3D, please, I beg you, I can't keep autojumping, please

You may want to try ship of harkinian which is a recompilation of OOT with improved controls and mod support.

am using SoH, but I chose Vanilla Plus preset since it's my first playthrough. Not helping that I'm using an 8bitdo Pro 2, which mimics DualShock, which does not mesh well with the N64 design.

Autojump in 3D is just baffling to me, to be honest. 3D platforming is already hard to eyeball, I at least want to control when I'm doing it. My own personal barrier to entry for the Zelds kril-drained

It's annoying at first, but once you get used to the auto-jumping, it's only mildly annoying. I like it because of nostalgia, but I get where you're coming from.

Majora's Mask better

I appreciate your bravery, very few would choose to be my mortal enemy but you really had the guts to do it.

No but honestly I didn't own Majora's Mask as a kid so Ocarina of Time is my favorite but Majora's Mask is totally valid.

the thing about my extremely brave opinion is that OoT is absolutely goated too and I reckon whichever one you rank is just personal preference of memories from the 90s because they're both top 5 or 10 all time
