Zelda: Ocarina of Time
 

Today, I decided to take a blast to the past and dust off this gem. Everything about this game is so perfect. It really does hold up to the test of time.

I think it easily stands as one of the top 10 video games of all time. Agree? Discuss!

Yeah extremely polished and fun game.

a link to the past would be higher on my list.

That is a great game, as well. It's just one of those things where I'm trying to look for things to nitpick all these years later, and I can't find really anything bad to say about Ocarina. The graphics were the best at that time for N64 games. The gameplay was smoooooooooth, and all of the quests were solid and detailed.

Majora's Mask has a little better graphics and more sidequests, but not quite as solid of a plot or gameplay.

Wind Waker was okay. I thought it was pretty original, and had a lot of substance, but something about Ocarina sets it above even this later gen. title.

Link to the Past vs. Ocarina would have made for an interesting poll. I think that would be the game that competes with Ocarina best in the Zelda series.

The Zelda series has always been very well done, in general.

plot is important, but its more about the feel/enorinment. the environment in ocarina of time is amazing. the env on the wind waker sucked big time. same with that mario game, with the water jetpack or whatever. if i play mario i want to be smashing koopas and [censored]. sometimes they change too much, thats why a lot of the new nintendo games are so gay

Ocarina of Time is a top 3 on my list on its worst days. I think it's the best Zelda game ever.

I have been playing World of Warcraft beta the last couple weeks and the environment style is reminiscent of 'Ocarina of Time.'

I had a few flashbacks when running through giant tree buildings in the Night Elf cities.

Parts of the game are very well done, but a lot of the last few dungeons are just boring and take way too long. Maybe without the Water Temple and Shadow Temple it would be in the top 10.
