games you dislike that everyone likes and vice versa

[Kriven]

I haven't played OoT 3D yet, so I can't speak about it. I will say that switching to the equipment screen has never bothered me in either of the N64 titles. I actually like the pause menu... I think it's probably my favorite pause menu of any game. It comes up through the game, has very pleasant sounds, that shiny, crystal aesthetic design, and the way it's designed I imagine it as a cube as opposed to pages. I also don't mind breaking up the action that way. Gives me a chance to think about things.
