I mean, I’m not saying I agree with the way the OOT has been treated, even though it isn’t my preferred version
There aren’t different “versions” of the movies. There are the original theatrical releases, and then there are the alterations. The ones that were released in movie theaters were the movies that won lots of awards. They aired on television and were sold in various home video formats for two decades. Then, they were altered, and the person who altered them attempted to erase the originals from existence.
