Hyrule Town Square

I am genuinely curious as to why you think that.
I will say that the constant placing of echos and the insane length of menu items you have to scroll through sounds like it could be tedious if done wrong. But I thought the same thing about Tears of the Kingdom's build mechanic before it came out and it turned out to be really awesome.
I mean.... yes?
Well, there are at least 6 other Nintendo sanctioned Zelda games not made by Nintendo, granted three of them are definitely not canon.
Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons and Minish Cap were all developed by Flagship/Capcom, though they were published by Nintendo and are generally considered canon. Then there's the two Hyrule Warriors games and finally Cadence of Hyrule, which was developed by a small, indie studio.
Well, sure, but those games were actually widely considered to be good.
I mean, to be fair, I never actually played the CDi games myself. But when every single source I ever see pans it without exception and the video capture does nothing but support the narrative, it's kinda hard not to take their word for it.
Except for the animated series from the Super Show. That's highly underrated.

The best way to play the CDi games nowadays is to not do that to yourself, and just play Arzette The Jewel of Faramore instead.
All the "charm" of the CDi games, with only a fraction of the pain! And even some actual enjoyment sprinkled in!
...Fine, there actually are fan "remasters" for two of the three CDi games for modern computers floating around somewhere on the interwebs. But, Arzette is probably still a more enjoyable experience, overall.

Yeah, The Wand of Gamelon is actually the first game where Zelda is playable, but it's not official, as Nintendo was not involved with the making of the game other than giving Philips the license to use the Legend of Zelda characters and lore.
So it was official.
Yup, as official as the live action Mario movie. At least the Mario movie has enough cheese that it entered the 'so bad it's good' territory for many. Kept Nintendo from handing out any of their franchises to third parties until the late 90s and even longer outside of handheld releases.
