That's what the 3DS remake is for. It looks fantastic, gets rid of the garbage textures, and runs at a consistent 30 FPS.

Its a meme to call it the best game ever

Yeah I've seen people overanalyze the really shitty and boring Hyrule Field, like oh there's a hill there because it obscures things from view. Well what if you fucking go around that hill? It's no longer covered lmfao. I dunno a lot of really dumb stuff looked from rose tinted glasses, when it's basically the worst 3D Zelda

I'm not saying that it's the best game ever made, but it's a fantastic game, easily a 9/10. "Dated" is so nebulous that it has no real meaning.

Meaning its like an average game. Portability helps because its so dated.

I like the n64 version better. The colors were richer and not so washed out. The character design was more serious too

Goat game. Just captured what video games were always supposed to feel like. The immersion and epic drama and intensity while still not having to be all adult and rated M and take itself too seriously, I guess, if that makes sense.

It's definitely not overrated. It basically set the standard for 3D adventure games moving forward, transitioning nearly flawlessly from 2D the first try, while other series struggle to do so to this day (looking at you, Sonic).

Is it the best game ever? Well...It's all relative to the times. OoT may very well have been the best game ever made when it came out, and for a time following its release, but it's been outdone by games that it paved the way for, many times over.

It totally does.

Somehow it had so much immersion even though 3D graphics werent that good back then. It truly felt there was a world inside your tv.

It's overhyped. MM 3DS was much more fun

There are complaints to be had with OoT, but none of them were there in 1998 when it came out.

That's why it's considered the GOAT by a lot of people. Same for Super Mario 64.

Any game that came out 20 years ago is going to look dated compared to games of today. This is such a stupid complaint I see that I assume when people say it they're like under the age of 20.

The idea that Ocarina of Time is overrated is ludicrous.


I agree, in 1998 it really seemed like the most perfectly formed and realised 3D adventure world, and a stunning example of how to reinterpret a 2D franchise into 3D.

But the idea that it hasn't aged substantially in the twenty years since, which some people desperately still claim, is equally ludicrous.

It is an 7/10 adventure game today in 2018.

Ocarina of Time was among the first games I recollect playing.

I guess I'm a weirdo because I have always preferred Super Mario 64 and now 3D Mario is my favorite series. OoT was always meh to me. I finally gave it a real chance with the 3DS remake, and enjoyed it a lot, so not all was lost to me. Glad I finally gave OoT and MM a chance with their respective remakes, both are really good games. Definitely going to prefer Mario always though.

And that is mighty impressive. Non-retro games, especially early 3D games usually age like egg salad.

A baby born when oot was released can buy alcohol now! Think about it

I didnt play Mario 64 until after so OoT was the first massive 3D action/adventure I played up to that point. It was the most amazing gaming experience Ive ever had. Back before the internet was a common thing and not having a strategy guide it took me about a month playing game after school to beat the game while trying to find all the secrets. Its the GOAT to me.

Literally every game called the "greatest game of all time" by at least a decent number of people is overrated to a degree practically by definition when talking about subjective tastes. Get a hundred gamers in a room and ask them all what the greatest game ever is, and you'll probably have at least twenty answers, with none forming anything close to a majority consensus. Which means that most people would personally disagree with the idea of any game being the greatest of all time other than their personal favorite game, which is the terminology that should be used.

It may not impact your opinion of it at all, but Wind Waker is one of the most blatantly unfinished games ever made.

Absolutely they do. I could almost see this if people were going back and trying to play it while wrangling their hands around an n64 controller for the first time but there have been multiple versions on way better controllers that still are as expertly put together as the day it was released

did you see the multiplayer setting for the randomizer? it makes a group of linked games (you choose number of players) and shuffles the items across all games. so some of your items might be in other peoples' games ad you need to wait for them to pick it up before you get it
