I was a kid then and didn’t understand it or its brutal combat, but loved the setting and music. Finally beat it as an adult. Ocarina of Time obviously one of the all time greats too.
I really enjoy BOTW and TOTK. It makes me feel like that kid again, booting up AoL or OOT and reliving that same sense of excitement and wonder.
I remember TAOL. It took us a while to figure that one out as kids. When we finally beat it, we felt like kings. The one I loved was the one that came out with the SNES.
Another one I tried that got a lot of acclaim was Nier Automata. GOTY contender. Man, that was sooo boring. Wow.
To give you an idea of what I do enjoy the last several games Ive played are:
GOW Ragnarok
Wo Long
Ghost of Tsushima
Nioh 2
Elden Ring
Certainly those games are a lot more challenging than BOTW or TOTK. You might also prefer the more realistic art style and more nuanced combat options they provide.
Zelda is like playing a Ghibli movie. The actual gameplay itself is not that challenging, there are tougher moments but nothing insurmountable compared to Nioh or Elden Ring.
