I can't say I hated a game and then ended up loving it. There are a couple of games I have issues with, but those aren't games I've since grown to love. And there were two games that I initially wasn't keen on to start with, not from trying them, but from hearing about them. However, when I have them a proper chance I ended up loving both and they are today my two favourite games in the franchise, namely Wind Waker and A Link Between Worlds. With Wind Waker I initially disliked the "kiddy" look to it, and I even avoided getting a Gamecube because the games just seemed like they were going the "kiddy" direction and I disliked that. It took many years before I finally tried it out, and yes, I did end up playing the HD edition rather than the GC one - though I do own the GC one, and when I finally gave it a proper chance it just dazzled me, I began appreciating the look and vibrant feel of it. With A Link Between Worlds, I was disappointed that the upcoming 3DS game was going to be a 2D-game, and I found the idea of it to be a waste of the 3D feature, but I still bought it because it was Zelda and I wanted to give it a chance. I couldn't put it down and I ended up completing a Zelda game 100% for the first time ever.
