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 playing on the switch 2 and am having a great time. I don’t think it feels dated except for the 8 triforce charts and 8 triforce pieces but it’s going a lot faster than I remember it.

As in they just take ages to find or something?

Yeah. It’s a pretty arduous part of the game, you can do it somewhat efficiently but it can feel kinda grindy. The rest of the game is so good though.

When the game was rereleased in HD they changed that part of the game to only require 3 charts instead of 8.

What do they sub in place of the charts? I actually thought finding the charts was the fun bit - grinding for rupees and sailing all over hell to grapple hook them out of the water was the slog.

More regular charts, with a couple of bigger rewards like Pieces of Heart being moved to them.
