Grown men were crying with joy. Stuff like the gaijin 4koma and 8.8 from Gamespot are still referenced, even by people who weren't around for the original event.
People who thought WW looked too 'kiddie' were creaming their jorts at a darker, moodier Zelda game.
The game came out and most fans were thrilled, since it was basically structured like OoT again in higher fidelity but this time your 'fairy' was a tsundere imp that people still fap to today.
It also hints at lore connections that we were going crazy for, long before Nintendo published their "official" timeline that inadvertently killed interest for a lot of folks. Stuff like the vague callbacks to MM and the Hero's Shade were tickling our 15-yr old imaginations.Personally, I still like the game a lot, but I wish the earlier twilight sections were easier to go through quickly, or maybe the wolf form got some new tricks as the game went on.
The overworld looks cool, but there's not much in it to do outside of the scripted fights and the occasional gear-check for a heart piece.
It did have a lot of neat combat moves that expanded on WW's counterhits, and I wish they kept more of that stuff in subsequent games and refined it. If TP had more challenging enemies it would have the best combat in the series, but really only the darknuts actually push you to use all the moves.
TP also probably has the best fishing hole in the series, which isn't saying much admittedly.
