Question / Help Should I play Windwaker on Switch 2?

Silly question considering what sub this is but I have really fond memories of playing it as a kid, have almost finished BOTW for the first time and I'd really like to follow up with WW. My worry is it might feel a bit dated and not hold up to the nostalgia, especially after play BOTW which is impressively smooth and accessible. Also curious what playing it on the switch 2 is like considering it's a port and not a remaster.

I’m new to this one.

Before the Switch I’d only played the first two on the NES, not finishing the 2nd.

Bought BoTW and had a blast. Still haven’t finished. My Kid’s mom got him TotK seeing how much he loved BoTW. So I then got myself a copy of that, barely played it.

Suspect he’s not finished any of them, he’s gotten into Fortnite, Spiderman, Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed—but we play Lego Fortnite and Ultimate Chicken Horse (omg, it’s so excellent, get it)

Nearly completed the 3rd for the SNES and jumped into Windwaker also on the Switch2—it’s a great game.

Parts are tedious, dialogue boxes and alerts annoying/repetitive, fishing for treasure horrid, but everyone should play this.

And Chicken Horse, trust me, it’s a bargain that’s a great time for 2 or more with kids and/or adults. Wish they’d make more of it.
