Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

Which Zelda game could possibly be your example of underrated?
I just thought he was finding a hidden treasure…
Oracle of Seasons/Ages is almost never mentioned in discussions about Zelda. The shitty CD-i games get more attention!
Oracle games are my favorite. Minish Cap is also good and often passed over.
Yknow I’ve been trying to decide what GB/A era game to replay and Oracles might be it. VERY fond memories of those games; I had Ages, my brother had Seasons. The animal companions are silly and cute and the level and puzzle design was superb.
I’ve played modern LoZ and had fun with the open world style, but majorly prefer the more linear, curated style of the earlier games.
I am still kinda pissed that someone stole my flip phone GBA (er… What was that one called again? I’m drawing a blank for some reason, even tho it was objectively the best one) along with Season of Ages (it was currently in the gameboy), which I just started.
Gameboy Advance SP. First Gameboy with built in backlight. RIP to yours.
Oracle of Seasons was my first Zelda game and I adored it!
Skyward Sword?
Skyward Sword ain’t great though
I didn’t play it until the Switch remaster. Basically went in blind, and I had a blast. Loved it.
That’s the prevailing opinion certainly, but there’s a pretty diehard contingent who love it. That it just gets a bad rep because it gets compared to the masterpiece that was Twilight Princess.
Can’t say myself, as I’ve never played it, but I’ve got a few friends who are huge proponents of it and would say it’s underrated.
And, to be fair, something doesn’t have to be good to be underrated. People hate Skyward Sword, and I assume it’s not actually terrible. Just on the low end of Zelda games.
2?
