Ocarina of Time, really the best game ever?

[cheat-master30]

In other words, would you still consider The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time to be the best Legend of Zelda game, and the best game in the general, ever created? I personally wouldn't myself, as why it is indeed a very good game, I still have a personal attachment to The Wind Waker for the series games (my first ever Legend of Zelda game) and also a great like for Super Mario 64, which in my opinion was the game that pretty much changed my life. Would you still consider it best? Why? Why not?

[Bizzaree]

I would say so along wth twilight princess. they need tomix both of them in a sequel to twilight princess and that would probably be the best game ever

[cheat-master30]

The best Legend of Zelda game ever would be once where the fans keep quiet, stop bugging Nintendo to release it and let them release it when the game is absolutely ready and everything possible Nintendo wants to have in has been included.

OOT IS TH BEST GAME EVER AND ANYONE THAT APPOSES ME IS DUMB!*takes out a magnum' anyone want to disagree?*

I'm hoping Nintendo keeps their mouth shut about the next Zelda game up until about half a year before its release. It's seriously annoying thinking back to the videos of TP that came out a year or two before the actual release. Dangling that in front of an eager fans face isn't good business at all, especially if you still aren't even sure what you're trying to do with the game. I looked back at one of the old videos and realized that I hardly recognized any of it. We never got the huge forest that was shown in the videos. Animals were also hyped as having a big role, but they hardly played any role other than that you change to a wolf and can talk to some animals.

[cheat-master30]

I think if they announced it very soon before release, the hype would be huge and the game would not be rushed.

OoT is about the most overrated game ever. It's not fun, controls are bad, graphics are bad (for its time, it was good, but I still think they're ugly), gameplay is bad, and puzzles are boring.

It is most certainly not the best game ever, and it has never been.

IMO.

You sure don't like Ocarina of Time...

Oh, and I kind of agree. Ocarina of Time, to be perfectly honest is a game that has aged horribly over the years, and unlike some games, it certainly shows, just as the original Legend of Zelda shows it's age now (the games are fun, just not as good as they used to be because of how they've aged). Same with Super Mario Bros in my opinion (original).

I find all those still fun, just not as fun as other games in their series. Like how I find Super Mario Bros 3/Super Mario World/Super Mario Land 2/Yoshi's Island more fun than the original now.

[Bizzaree]

I being a VERY big zelda fan have to agree with you cheat. The game has aged terribly but IMHO it is still a very fun game. if they were to revamp the game(Graphic upgrades,a few extras,etc) I think it would be the best game in the world (again).

[cheat-master30]

It would be nice if the graphics and like were updated, as well as controls and some general gameplay...

It's difficult to go back to games released before you started playing them...

[Symerwizkid22]

how can you say this isnt the goat.
probably you've never played it and yet you vote on polls;)

[cheat-master30]

^I played it before, just I played it AFTER Wind Waker.

[Bizzaree]

i just recently beat wind waker it is a VERY fun game. but thats beside the point. OOT was one of the first games ive ever played, my third in fact so I have reserved a place in my heart for it

[Symerwizkid22]

exactly the same with me too.
except it was about the 13th game i've played:p

[Bizzaree]

yeah my cuz bought it the day it came out and let me play a little by the time i was 6 i beat the game

[cheat-master30]

Anyone else got an opinion on this?

[Bizzaree]

no i dont think so

[cheat-master30]

So you are one of the opinion it's the best game ever then Bizzaree?

[Bizzaree]

just because it was the most revolutionary game of its time

[cheat-master30]

I personally think Super Mario 64 was more revolutionary, but each to their own...

[Symerwizkid22]

obviously they are both fantastic games.
but zelda is considered by IGN "the game of the decade"
thats 10 years.
that's, as of now, the GOAT

[cheat-master30]

Anything decent > IGN >>>> Gamespot

Either way, I agree. Both fantastic games. And they are only two of the brilliant Nintendo 64 games released before...

[Bizzaree]

not the best game ever but defenitely one of them

[Buto1-1]

I love Zelda Games but with the release of so Many new games since then hard to say it is still the best

[turpinator]

I would have to say no, but it was an epic and successful turning point from 2D to beautiful (no matter how polygonal) 3D. It was definitely a major cornerstone in LoZ development.

[turpinator]

you never answer people back why are you so special becuase you make emblems? big deal.

Ok................. can someone tell me what he is talking about and why he's talking in a condescending tone. Since when have I done something to offend anyone? (yes I realize he's banned)

[MLWW]

I say no
*End of story*
>_>
<_<

He's a jerk about to be perma banned soon.

I say no
*End of story*
>_>
<_<

Care to explain why?

[MLWW]

Well, i didn't really liked OoT and such, and when i first played it, after a while i got scared of the first Wallmaster and never played it again untill 2006 or so........
bad memory's :(

[cheat-master30]

LOL. Hear many are scared of Wall Masters. Personally put off by some enemies and places (Redeads, Dead Hand, bottom of well) myself.

[turpinator]

Hey, if I've got enough HP/Din's Fire/Sun's Song, I'll go headlong after any undead enemy. (excluding the ones while kid Link T_T) The main thing that pesters me (and this fact will NEVER change) is the crazy scary music they put into that game, it's always got me on edge, no matter how many times I've played the game.

[cheat-master30]

Scary music; can be very off putting.

[Raccoon]

Twilight Princess mops the floor with OoT. A compelling storyline, edge of your seat action and beautiful graphics.

[cheat-master30]

Nice opinion. Anyone else got any criticism of the commonly given title?

[Bizzaree]

LOL. Hear many are scared of Wall Masters. Personally put off by some enemies and places (Redeads, Dead Hand, bottom of well) myself.lol i remember when i was little the first time i saw a redead kill me i didnt touch the game for a week or two. but then you kinda get used to it

[Soopahsonic]

It wasn't before, therefore it still isn't.

Shadow Temple ;______________;.

[Bizzaree]

*gasp* how dare you! ok it had its flaws but every game does and this was more than likely the best game of its time and stood there for about 3 years after its release... but thats only my opinion/guess

[benoit489]

I'm going to disagree with you guys. OoT has not aged horribly. The graphics, while not the best, are still really good and the game is full of detail and style. The controls are playable, I don't think I've ever been frustrated with the controls and I've played the game with an N64 controller and a Gamecube controller. I also think it had the right amount of action and puzzle.

Along with Yes and No, you should add "close to it" as an option.

Fair enough, viewpoint tolerated. And option added to poll.
