OoT

[Mike Weedmark]

It's not like I didn't buy this game on day one and proceed to play it 4-8 hours a day for the next few weeks like everyone else, but seriously? I don't really get why people call this the best Zelda.

Skyward Sword without a doubt shits all over it. WW and Zelda 1 (because reasons) are distinctly better imo. Haven't played five seconds of Majora's yet, so not touching that. I'd say it's about even with LttP and Twilight Princess.

What's this "best game ever" bullshit? :/ Was it most peoples' first Zelda or something?

Re: OoT

Ive played all of the zelda games, ive beaten oot like 20 times, definitely the all time best zelda game. Majoras mask sucked, windwaker was ok but not better than oot.

Re: OoT

It was most people's first 'cinematic' game ever, the other usually being Final Fantasy 7. Ocarina Of Time didn't really age as well as the other Zelda games though, so it's no surprise that you wouldn't see too much of it now. Majora's Mask is better anyways.

Re: OoT

I love wind waker, majoras mask and ocarina of time. Though if I could put them in order from favourite to not as favourite but still favourite it would go

Wind waker
Majoras mask
Ocarina of time

Ocarina of time last because even though it was my most played out of the three I enjoyed the others more, especially wind waker

Re: OoT

Oot had arguably the hardest combat system of the Zelda games.

I remember my first double stalfos fight vividly.

Re: OoT

The game was released in 1998

It's now 2014

Aside from those, however, I think the game has aged very well from a gameplay perspective.

It's a very flowy action adventure game. Something that wasn't common in the 90's. When people think of Ocarina of Time, I don't think players think of "graphics/story", they think of the gameplay.

That's, what I feel, gives it much-much-MUCH praise.

LTTP

Re: OoT

Majoras Mask is my favorite the dark concept behind it rocks, and the whole game is basically a string of side quests bound together. Awesome, awesome game. That being said, Oot has definitely earned the hype it has received. It is a very memorable game and has a lot of replay value as well. Hardly anyone gets everything that the game provides after one replay ex: items, item upgrades, masks, all heart pieces etc etc.

Re: OoT

OoT is my favorite Zelda game to play even though it's not necessarily the one I enjoy the most. OoT was my first Zelda game, which probably biases my opinion quite a bit. Just in terms of how much I enjoy the games, WW is probably my favorite, then OoT, MM, TP and probably Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. OoT just has that nostalgia feeling combined with an actually decent dungeon progression/difficulty. Also, I love N64 controllers, idk. Have any of you guys done the Uber Challenge? I'm still working on that thing. I've started over I think 3 or 4 times.

LTTP is never brought up on these lists and that's kinda sad because it's by far my favourite.

just gonna leave this here

I'm a horrible Zelda fan. I have it on emulator, but I never got to the second dungeon. I still haven't gone back to it since my first time playing. :'(

Re: OoT

I'm one of the biggest nostalgiatards of all time, and given the right mood, the epicness of this song coupled with the memories I have of playing it as a child, legitimately can make my eyes water. (Just happened lol)

Re: OoT

No one talks about Minish Cap.

And I mean no one.

Minish Cap is up there for being my favorite top-down Zelda.

Minish Cap was alright. I like the Oracle games better though. ^^
