  "account": "In February 2021, I wrote an op-ed titled \"Breath of the Wild ruined traditional Zelda for me.\" That piece reflected my belief that the open-world structure of Breath of the Wild made revisiting older Zelda titles difficult. However, just five years later, I'm halfway through the remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch 2, and I'm now loving it. My tastes can change significantly over time, and I can no longer fault past me for dismissing classic Zelda games. It was the release of this stunning remake that showed me how wrong I had been.",
