The fight with Agorok under thunderstorm was so amazing and I had this feeling that I was right the hero.

I have been watching GMT's Boss Keys series while playing this. It has really helped me to understand why I enjoy certain dungeons more than others, as well as get me excited for other Zelda games I could play in the future.
I am about to enter the Sky Temple, but so far Lakebed Temple is the obvious highlight for me. It isn't difficult, but it makes you understand the space, and requires a little more thought than the others.
I have enjoyed all the dungeons though. They all look and feel unique. Exploring Snowpeak Ruin's mansion was a delight, and I had a great time zipping around in Arbiter's Grounds. All the boss fights so far have been laughably easy, but mostly fun. Using the reflection to avoid icicles was great, and once more zipping around on that silly spinning top is obviously a blast.
A lot of the non-dungeon content doesn't really interest me. I love counting cats (who doesn't), but I won't go out of my way for insects or poes. It is nice to get a new item, remember where it can be used, and finally open that chest you've been eyeing from a distance.
The exception - there's this great tiny, puzzle dungeon. You clawshot to the entrance, then equip your iron boots to navigate to the bottom of a pit using a series of magnets. It reminded me of the tombs in the newer Tomb Raider games, and I wish there were more of these. I haven't played BotW, but I assume this is what the shrines are. If so, I imagine I will enjoy that game a lot.

I am loving the HD release so far. Occasionally it feels like it is wasting my time with all the tear collecting and stuff. However, I loved the third dungeon and just found the Master Sword, so I am super into it now.
I also love using the gamepad as a map/inventory, as well as the gyroscope for aiming. I only wish I could unload all the HUD onto it.
I have dabbled with other Zelda games, but only ever finished OoT. I want to tackle Wind Waker later this year (I also played Okami earlier this year, so it is a very "Zelda" year for me). Then hopefully I can finally play BotW next year and actually appreciate the direction it takes the series in.

Finally finished. What a journey. I enjoyed this immensely but I was getting burnt out towards the end with how tedious things could be. I had to use a guide in places, feeling pressured for time as I didn't want to spend half an hour trying to figure out a puzzle or work out where to go. Some of the larger temples could have used a warp system to avoid backtracking which is the most annoying thing when you're trying to work out where to go next.
Overall a fun adventure but I am keen to move on. Ocarina is my next 3D Zelda game.

This game might surpass Wind Waker as my favourite Zelda game. Wind Waker was absolutely charming but this game does such a great job of making you feel like you're on an epic quest with the scenery changes and the stakes constantly rising. 1 piece of the mirror to go.

Back into it. Should finish in a couple of days if I can get the time. Feels good to be back. Just got up to the Zora Temple but stopped playing to start dinner. I'll have most of the day tomorrow to play so I'm looking to get the man hours done.

Can't believe it has taken me 2 years to finally sink more time into this game. One thing I've noticed that they changed from Wind Waker was your sword no longer whacking into an object and coming back at you.

Just finished off the Goron Mine. Making progress. Actually thought I'd find Wind Waker hard to top given that I absolutely adored the game but TP is shaping up to being something special.

Getting back into this. I just finished Wind Waker so this is the new Wii U game I'm targeting to finish. Gotta say the gamepad has come in handy as I played through the majority of Wind Waker on it while the gf played Witcher 3.

Finally cracked open my copy. Got to be honest, this game hasn’t aged well. I know some people don’t like the cell shading in Wind Waker, but it holds up much better over time than the naturalistic look of Twilight Princess. Wind Waker also has far smoother controls.

What's the first game you played to ring in the new year?
Mine's Twilight Princess HD! Somehow never played the original release. I miss the Wind Waker aesthetic, but the game itself is phenomenal. Totally making the wait for Breath of the Wild easier.
