Heh, I know. I'm sure I would've loved it if I played it first, and I would probably then be picking apart OoA and OoS, which had their own major flaws. I'd probably be saying they were too unoriginal or something.
My post was really less of a 'LttP wasn't fresh or new at all' and more of a 'LttP wasn't fresh or new for me.' I'm aware LttP brought a lot to the table, but I can't be amazed by its originality if I've seen it all before. I'm sure someone who's never seen a tree before would be amazed at it while I don't even look at it. It's a tree. Maybe if it was a SUPER ORIGINAL tree, but usually I don't even think about trees when I walk by them. (god, this metaphor sucks)

Alright, you've convinced me, I'll play through it again when I get the chance. Not sure how I'd be more impressed by it this time around though.
