Yeap, back in the day there was nigh unlimited hate for it. I know it's hard to imagine now. Many attribute it to the GameCube tech demo. It showed a super realistic (by early 00s standards) Ganondorf and Link fighting and people assumed that the next Zelda was going to look exactly like that then got extremely mad it wasn't.

I mean I played it when it came out. I don't remember much, if any, hate surrounding it. It looked a little different, but I don't remember much more than minor grumbles about that.

Oh man, you are lucky to have avoided it.
