Ocarina of Time. I mean, its good. But so many people act like its the best video game of all time. Its like barely top 5 Zelda game imo let alone the best game full stop I'm ready for the downvotes

    There are only 5 games in that category of Zelda game in the first place. - ocarina of time - majora's mask - windwaker - twilight princess - skyward sword Breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are totally different formula and the rest are not 3d. For me it kind of goes windwaker -> oot/majora/skyward -> twilight. So I'd say it's up there, and the fact it's so foundational should give it some extra points. I'm amazed they haven't done a remake to up the graphics and give it modern controls tbh

    This is a reasonable take, though I don't feel the same way. OoT felt like an open world game at a time when those largely didn't exist (some did, but not really on console). The gameplay was still somewhat linear, but it felt like there was a lot of freedom compared to a lot of other games at the time. As a kid, I spent hours just exploring. I'm guessing this has something to do with its popularity at the time.

    You're getting one upvote from me. I also fully agree with everything said in brentalfloss' song and I played it when it came out. Worst thing about the game was the owl that kept the game from being an open world. It was a step back from Mario64 and it came out something like 2 years later. Majora's mask was the expectation. Ocarina of Time was what I got.

  • Agreed. I just don't like that type of game myself.
