It's not their reviewer, it's a streamer who said it.
And it's not just the "new movements", it's that platforms went from being flat objects to "pill shaped" it seems, so if you land on the edge of a platform, you end up sliding off, which isn't something that happens in the original (you can see this side by side comparison in the videos even).
The newer one was more punishing for not landing a jump correctly, making it a bit harder.
I think weakest would probably still have to go to Spirit Tracks for me
But out of 3D ones, probably Twilight Princess. But even then, I do feel it's worth appreciating that even if it's the weakest Zelda you played, it's still overall, a good game at the least right? I mean, personally I don't think there's a single Zelda game I actually regret playing, or dislike even.
Well, at least my gf's dad can play MK8 I'm pretty sure. It's anything that gets more complicated into the reactions that he gets thrown off. He's also in his 50s though, so age probably doesn't help.
I'm pretty sure that banana part just sucked in general. I ended up just rushing it as quick as I could, because every time I tried slow and steady, one would spot me.
