Thinking about a steam deck just for Diablo 4. I'd pick up fallout 4 and borderlands 3 / Tina and possibly elden ring / sekiro too. Any thoughts?

Got a great 5 pack and jigsaw, all brushless, for like $300 total at Home Depot during the memorial day sale. My first "tool kit". I'm hoping they hold up for a couple years!
That's some vertical. Bravo.
OoT, considered one of the greatest games of all time, is literally Link to the Past 3d. Majora's mask is like a mod of OoT. WW was a huge deviation, but same dungeon structure. Twilight Princess is OoT, but edgier and with a weird platformer mix that was common in the latter stages of N64 and early Wii.
I'm general, Nintendo iterates on Zelda. I'd love for a Wind Waker 2 a la totk.
To be honest, other than theming, the old Zelda dungeons are overrated. Every dungeon from LttP and on -- you're going to get an item, and that item is critical to unlocking the 2nd half of the dungeon. It's exceedingly linear. I don't consider boomerang lock-on for 5 targets or using fire arrows to light torches amazing gameplay.
I do love totks crazy spinning fan torch puzzles.
I'm convinced lately the fan praise of Twilight Princess is due to youth having this as their first game. It doesn't hold a candle to what OoT or Majora's Mask was. Even then, OoT is LttP in 3d (for the first time, and it was phenomenal).
With Nintendo, I feel like it's almost impossible to know which way they're going to innovate - but in hindsight it's all so clear. Really the only claim we can almost bet for is they're not going to compete in the graphical fidelity market.
I'm having issue figuring out how it works interacting from one side to other. I know lemmy.world can interact with mastodon instance via whatever activity pubsub thing they have, but for instance, can I log into the mastodon app with my lemmyworld account? I know I can post there somehow, but all the web mentions of it are like, pasting the url links in proper order like I'm in the pre-dial-up age or something.
A much more cohesive unification is needed.
Lemmy is fun.
Someone literally hacked my account and bot posting for cryptocurrency. I requested account recovery from Twitter and it all just went to hell after that. The process was bizarre. Repeated instructions for steps I already finished, the entire process starting from scratch, no replies.
So my account is out there now, doing who knows what. Congrats, it's a bot.

I mean, clearly it was an evolution on all fronts, but the inheritance is clear across the board. Light world, 3 dungeons, dark world, 7. In each dungeon you find the same compass, boss key, core item (I forget if map was in both).
Undeniably, both games were utter masterclasses. I still maintain OoT holds the GOAT title screen, just scraping by Halo due to the animation.
I would love to read an essay on Zelda games if you write it, I might even change my opinion :)
Also, since you seem to have lived through the times (did you?), what are your thoughts on totk-esque dungeons vs everyone clamouring for an "old school" Zelda game? I'm thinking totk combined with old school items, instead of attaching to weapons and arrows, but keeping totk exploration, would be sublime.
