tell me this... do you think it is ok to get both the newset version and virtual console version of a game?

for example, does anyone have both mariokart wii and mariokart 64 on their console... or mario galaxy and mario 64, etc

what do you think .... i ask this because i just got zelda tp, but i am not sure whether or not to also get ocarina of time because i have had my eye on it,

It's a completely different game. And a very good one at that, get it.

You definitely should get it. Some will argue against, but most of the answers you will hear here will tell you to get this game because it's one of the best games ever. I'm part of that group as well by the way. :P

As for the other part of your question, each new entry into a selected franchise is different from the last, so most people should own most entries in the franchise. For example, I own all the Mario Karts except for the SNES one. Each one is different and an enjoyable experience that I don't mind owning.

I got this VC game, hearing a lot of good about it (I never played the N64 Zelda's), and I regretted my purchase. I barely played it at all--In fact, I play SMB3 (500 points) a LOT more than Ocarina of Time. If you want more bang for your buck, go for NES or SNES purchases.

I'm not one to say it's the best game ever, but that isn't to say it's bad at all. If you like Twilight Princess, then you probably won't be dissapointed with OoT. Personally, I prefer Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time.

TP isn't the "new" version of OOT. It is a spiritual successor but It's not the same game at all.

If you haven't played OOT I highly recommend that you get it.

I have both Mario Galaxy and Mario 64, and glad I have them both. It's not like getting both Mario Karts. I say get it. I have the TP and gamecube version of OOT. You are getting a new adventure to play, not playing the same game with upgraded graphics.

No, I bought It for the Gamecube, when it came out. After playing Twilight Princess, I didn't really enjoy OoT. I mean, after seeing the graphics of Twilight Princess, and getting used to them, It didn't really feel right. It hurt my eyes, lol.

But graphics don't mean a good game. Many people have enjoyed this game, and call it the best Zelda. I don't like it, but that is no reason you wouldn't! Go ahead, enjoy Zelda: OoT! :D

I'd say get it although it hasn't dated as well as some games graphically. If you had played it back in the day I guarantee you would have loved it. If you can see past it being an early 3d game that is ten years old it is still a great game. It is still my favorite game of all time.

Oot is better than TP imo and a classic. Its a must-have. And plus its the backstory to TP.

OOT is much much better than twilight princess. Although both games are very good.

I think the question u should more likely be asking yourself is why havent i got this game ealier. OoT is the best game of all time imo and a must have on the VC. The graphics might look a bit dated but if u loved TP then definately get OoT
