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.
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
The remake released 15 years ago on the 3DS. In fact the remake is now older than the original was when the remake released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time_3D
I love the 2D games, and only like the switch games in the 3D category. I'm with you guys on this. Finally people making sense!
I'm right there with you!
Look up Ship Of Harkinian, be amazed
OoT in 2K at 200fps is great for the nostalgia kick!
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.
I prefer ALttP
Agreed. I just don't like that type of game myself.
