The GameCube certainly had its flaws, but saying the love for the device is pure nostalgia from its diehard fans would be a disservice to Nintendo's incredible work that yields modern standards.
The only game I really enjoyed on it was Animal Crossing. It had the worst Zeldas and the game I bought it for (MGS The Twin Snakes) was a massive disappointment.
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, are the worst Zelda games? That is your opinion. WindWaker was fantastic. The Wii U version, looks great! I played through twice on Wii U. The Gamepad was perfect for that game.
GC may not have had the run like PS2 or the specs of the OG Xbox but I love the system Nintendo does have a solid library on the machine. The Game Boy Player alone was worth it for the machine I can still buy cheap GBA games and play them on my tv.
I loved Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem on GC wish there was a remaster or a sequel. Also Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, I want a remaster or even a 3rd one love those games. Of course Metroid Prime 1 + 2, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Mario Sunshine, Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, too many to list here 😀
"sixth generations unexpected champion" The GameCube was great, but it wasn't a champion of the sixth gen. PS2 was and outperformed the GameCube is every single possible way.

All the consoles that gen were great in different ways.
