Someone Who Has Never Played OoT (But has played TP)

Now, don't kill me. I didn't have a Nintendo 64. My first mario platformer was Super Mario Sunshine, and my first Zelda was Twilight Princess. So, I have no nostalgia for OoT. Now, before I spend 10 bucks on it, how does it compare? Some reviews I've read make it seem like they took OoT, made it longer, deeper, and better in every way to make TP. If so, is it really worth it? What are the differences in the game? I want to get into it, but I don't want to spend 30+ hours on a game that's just a downgraded game of the one I just played. No disrespect at all, because I understand it's regarded as one of the best games ever...just wondering how someone who went straight to TP will view it.cam2009

Play Ocarina of Time, NOW!!!!!!!!gameplaya123

Seriously go get it now... well actually next monday but get it then. it doesnt matter what you played. this game REVOLUTIONIZED the adventure genre. nothing compares to that. unless your a graphics ***** and dont care about how 3d games were perfected you need to get this game. no discussion, its perfect in every way and makes TP look like s***.

Wow, I found TP to be better than most Zelda games. Definitely better than Wind Waker.Optusnet

OoT is a good game regardless... Have fun! Its better than Wii Play for $10.00

Its also inportant to note that "good" and "greatest" often refer to innovation, influence and fun rather than just gameplay mechanics. I'm not gonna pick one way or the other. Afterall, I'm a LttP guy...

Yah i like WW a little better. TP is great though. definetly either Oot>WW>TP or Oot>WW=TP. They are both really great

Meh!?  Just get OoT, it doesn't matter what other people think of the game, as long as if u have fun with it, welcome to the gang. If u end up disliking it, well that's just your own opinion towards the game.

But seriously speaking, i wouldn't have found TP as satisfying of a game if i had not played through OoT, LttP, and WW first.

I'm more of a story driven guy, and knowing that the franchise's games are linked into a time line, i got more interested in playing TP cause i wanted to know where the story was headed, or how the story of TP fitted in with the other Zelda games.

Don't ask questions.

JUST BUY IT

This not a Downgrade or an Upgrade.. Tp Is totally Diffrent, Way more fun, And Awesome... I think u will really Enjoy it.. And spend 30 hours?? lmao u are looking at around 50 hours to beat TP... im on 40 hours and a litttle bit over half way done with it.. it will probaly take me 20 more hours to beat itArkansasBoy91

Look, I did play Oot myself, and I just can't get into it. I agree with the general mass that it was revolution for its time and arguably the best game ever made in its generation. I won't argue with that. But since I played it 10 years too late.....it was too late. Twilight Princess feels like a better game when going back to 1996.

I'm going to get flamed and stuff by the stubborn Nintendo fans, but the game is only that awesomely awesome if you have fond memories of the title or clocked the game within a few years of it being released.
