To credit Egoraptor though, most of the things he complained about are things that myself as a child complained about
especially the "waiting" bits
coming from earlier versions of zelda to OOT really did make it apparent that my hand was being held, at least to me
its not that text boxes and "plot devices" are a bad thing, but they did kind of flood the overall layout of OOT and had a tendency to over explain or complicate progression,
which as far as im concerned is usually unnecessary backtracking, and unnecessary backtracking is never a good thing in a game that is supposed to have a open roam feel to it
TLDR: I agree with Egoraptor on pretty much every point he proposed, albeit perhaps not as fanatically as he proposed them
