Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Archive: 18 posts
| After seeing it release again for the 3ds, I decided to go back to my Gamecube version and play through the game, which I have never done. After playing it for even just a little amount of time, I fell in love with it. I now personally understand why It gets so many good reviews, and is claimed "the best game ever created". Anyways, what do you guys think of the game? How do you think it compares to today's games? And if you have the 3ds version, but played the older version, does the experience really feel that much more amazing? Just felt that I should write about it. | 2011-08-09 17:12:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| It is certainly one of, if not THE most IMPORTANT game of our time. But Majora's Mask and the Wind Waker are superior to it in nearly every way. Infact, Zelda is one of those series where it gets better with each installment it seems... | 2011-08-09 23:27:00 Author: poorjack  Posts: 1806 |

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there about wind waker and majora's mask being better but yes it most definitely was one of the best games ever made. | 2011-08-09 23:35:00 Author: aceofthorns  Posts: 288 |
| It was great at the time but its not something I'd want to go back to now. | 2011-08-10 00:48:00 Author: Rabid-Coot  Posts: 6728 |
| It was great at the time but its not something I'd want to go back to now. The thing is... it still stands up by itself. There are many things that current developers could learn from Z:OoT's book. It is a master work in level design, pacing, apparent freedom of movement while still being a linear experience - but never forced. The control scheme, the targeting system, the puzzles - just everything about the game SCREAMS quality. Devs should stop wasting their efforts on photo-realistic graphics and instead focus on the CORE of what makes games truely great - ie; The Level Design and Playablity. Photo-realistic graphics are only impressive for as long as they are the 'market leader'. Once someone does some better graphics, all of a sudden they start to look very dated. Where-as great gameplay is timeless (and stylised graphics withstand the test of time).  | 2011-08-10 01:06:00 Author: Macnme  Posts: 1970 |
| IMO, it was ahead of its time, and I loved it. But as for "the best game ever", that's still debatable. | 2011-08-10 01:06:00 Author: CyberSora  Posts: 5551 |
| It has aged well. As has MM and WW. Just saying maybe you should take a closer look at MM for what it really is | 2011-08-10 01:24:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |

Where-as great gameplay is timeless (and stylised graphics withstand the test of time). Well I'm not sure why my post needed that response but perhaps I should expand on my previous statement. I really enjoyed the game when I played it 10 years ago, between the N64 and the Gamecube I probably played the normal version about half-a-dozen times and had another two on the Master Quest. There's just a pont where I've played it as much as I want to and have no desire to do it again. | 2011-08-10 01:53:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728 |
| I'm the same - it's exactly why I haven't bought the 3DS version yet. I just played it not that long ago on the Wii. Must have played it through about 4 or 5 times. Though I did have a shot on my mates copy - and it's still fresh. | 2011-08-10 20:43:00 Author: Macnme Posts: 1970 |
| I have the 3DS copy, and I like the updates, but I am a zelda whore soo... | 2011-08-10 20:51:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |
but I am a zelda whore soo... Yeah, me too. Reason I haven't played is it cause I don't have a 3DS. I'm probably going to end up buying it. I'm also looking forward to the old GB and GBC zelda games on the e shop. | 2011-08-11 15:26:00 Author: Unknown User |

I actually think portal is the most important game of our time, all of the memes, the great story, but i wouldnt doubt Zelda being 2nd best most definitely. | 2011-08-11 15:50:00 Author: Charlemagne  Posts: 513 |
| Portal, though fun, and innovative in concept,and fresh in the game play department, is a flash in the pan when compared to OoT. | 2011-08-11 15:54:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806 |
| It's a game, where the experience, story and everything unfolds as you get into it. It just gets better and better. I love the 3DS version, really lovely to finally play the game all through. Was stuck on the N64 and Gamecube version. Easier menus and touch screen makes it a whole lot easier to navigate in. | 2011-08-15 00:49:00 Author: ghik16  Posts: 311 |

| Never played Zelda to be honest, ha. What's the best one for (non-3D) DS ? Phantom Hourglass is a great one for the DS.. But.. you should buy a 3DS!  | 2011-08-15 12:00:00 Author: ghik16 Posts: 311 |
