That makes a lot of sense actually. Only three dungeons before the end wouldn't seem odd if someone's only experience with the series was BotW or MM.

A Link to the Past: Is this it? I feel like I am missing something

It's a famed cornerstone of the Zelda formula. It has immense legacy, but other titles improved on things in many ways.
For people who didn't play it in the 90s I can't expect to always see it as their favorite when there are so many other good titles too.
But if you had to pick between just 1 2 and 3, then ALttP is the clear uncontested winner IMO.

Not only that, three dungeons and then getting the master sword and heading to the castle in the middle of the map, that sounds kinda like endgame botw.
It just so happens that in alttp you get the master sword really early in the game

I don't know if I should still be here when the serious discussion about "LttP was never actually good" starts
Between Hollow Knight and this, are you just in a constant state of confusion about why good games are good?

Now imagine how that moment felt when you play it as a kid and never experienced anything similar in a video-game before, now you know how utterly mind-blown some of us felt back then! :D
you go to the dark world in order to get to the 3rd dungeon? you can see a whole second map there. It's really not that surprising.
Absolutely my favorite post after reading the first page, well played lol
In the spirit of OP, I'm not gonna finish this thread and just call you a troll.
I just started a new run thru and it does seem smaller than my memory has it but the dungeons really kick up in the dark world. I think I have the thieves hideout next. Now, none of the dungeons are perplexing. Maybe the lost woods wasn't as straightforward but it's still an amazing game from 1991 or as I like to call it, 5 years since the very first game.
I love it when someone says "the graphics are fine" for a 1991 game, like its graphic cam be compared to todays games.
This. I thought I was remembering it wrong. I'm really skeptical about OP's reactions now

I honestly was not trolling. I have to be honest, I haven't really kept up with Nintendo stuff. I know of their praised games, but nothing more.
To me, it felt like completing dungeons, getting the sword, and going to Hyrule Castle in the middle of the map was the series' trademark thing because that's how Breath of the Wild had done it. I legitimately had no idea this was a thing.

People laugh but TBH having played the original on NES and then playing ALttP some years later (and having not heard anything about it beforehand) what happens after really came as a shock to me. Like, I couldn't believe it.
Same with Metroid and Super Metroid. Super Metroid is amazing stand alone, but going into it after having beat the original Metroid just adds a whole extra layer to the world.

The game doesn't tell us we're in a Dark World or anything at the time, and the map is identical to the Hyrule Map so without context I actually had no idea. I'm not trolling lol
This is an all-time classic thread. Welcome to a fairly typical Zelda game!

While this is true not everyone checks the map constantly, it could simply feel like a warp to another area for a moment so the actual implications of the warp might be lost on many players until later on.
