I'm curious what you guys have to say about this. Are there any games you consider perfect? Can a game even be perfect?
My example of a perfect game is always Portal 1. Portal 2 has more going on, but in 1 there just isn't anything to shave off. From start to end, there is nothing I'd change about the game. It's short, infinitely replayable, great pacing. I like Portal 2 a lot in concept, in concept it should be a perfect sequel, but it just doesn't keep the extreme tightness of the original game.

There are some games that fit that format I think. Four Swords Adventures. Link's Awakening. I have that Link's Awakening DX HD fan game downloaded and I only tested it for a a minute but it was super impressive.

Four Swords is designed for multiplayer but can be played single player. But aesthetically it is extremely like LttP.
Did you play Link Between Worlds?

Yes it's very good, it's the successor to LttP, with just a bit of new mechanics on top of it, in sections. Basically you can turn 2d to pop yourself into walls to traverse things.
It very much feels like playing LttP with new dungeons etc.
