Default 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!

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

I agree with all of that!

Based on pure environments, Majora's mask comes a close second to Ocarina. I just thought it lacked direction, which was intentional on their part. It's good when a game is so open that you can go around doing anything, but it still needs to have a strong focus at the center. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That said, Pikmin was a game people either loved or hated. I thought it was pretty clever and original with solid game mechanics. I understand why I'm probably in the minority with this one, though. It is a very "off" game. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Given how cheap I could probably get an N64 for, would it be worth picking one up for this game? FWIW, I loved the old Zelda, and really dug the Final Fantasy games, through #7 at least, before they got all anime for some reason.
