Its been over a decade since the groundbreaking Ocarina of Time, Have standards gotten to high or is it still the best game ever.

IMO I bought mastersquest today and I always wanted to play oot since i was 8 yet I had the stratgey guide and not the game. I have always considered super mario 64 my favorite game of anything. And I am utterly been amazed at how well this holds up to today. Its just amazing I wonder why Zelda Tp couldent be this challenging. the enemies you have to actually try and the bosses are EPIC. Why did zelda tp have to be so easy?

anyways what do the people say.

It's not my personal favourite but it's easily one of the games that deserves that title.

Nope, because A Link to the Past is better.

That doesn't mean A Link to the Past is the best game of all time though.

YES YES YES YES YES. The controls actually weren't too bad, which is one of the annoying things about most N64 games (cough Golden Eye cough). And for best game ever: Ocarina of Time LBP Demons Souls Link to the Past Golden Sun TLA Right there are my favourites.

Best game ever is so hard to define, even outside of the fact that it's merely an opinion.

But No, I would't say OoT is the best game ever.

I still consider it to be the best game I've ever play. There is not a single flaw or even a nitpick I could make about it

OoT is still a lot better than stuff that gets released today. Certain aspects of it are outdone by so many games nowadays, but as an overall whole, I wouldn't say many games surpass it...certainly not in wonderment.

If the best game of all time is defined by the experience it gave around its release, then OoT is easily (for me, at least) the best game of all time. If the best game of all time is expected to hold up 10 years later, then the best game of all time only lasts a few months before something copies the idea & adds new ideas. Sure, the experience is no where near as good, but the game is technically better.

I voted yes, as the experience that OoT gave has been unmatched. Copies have come out that have improved aspects, but fail to deliver the experience because it's been done before. If my first definition is wrong however, the 'best game of all time' holds little merit; there will be something 'better' (more refined etc) in a few months.

For example, release Darksiders alongside OoT & see which game is generally favoured. I'm more about that little something special in a game, so I'd probably still have preferred OoT, but most would have much preferred the combat & graphics, at least, of Darksiders.

It never was the best game ever imo but it's still a brilliant game even by todays standards. If the graphics were updated to current-gen then I personally think every other area of the game design would hold up very well indeed.

It is my personal favorite game of all time. No other game can I replay over and over again and still have fun.

Beat the entire thing in one sitting a few days ago Im not a speed runner but I think I did okay for a 100% run.

Tell that to every Zelda fanboy who thinks OoT is the best game ever :P Oh wait... You just did, indirectly. IMO it's an amazing game but I much prefer MM..And that's not even the best game ever, even if such a title makes no sense

Zelda OOT has been best game ever for a week.

The game that was released 9 days later became the new best game ever.

So no, it isn't.

Best game ever will get even better on the 3DS. :P It holds up, always has. Of course the graphics look like poo now as did most early 3D games. Super Metroid is better though :P

This. I believe Super Mario Galaxy tops it. But even that, I don't believe is that "best game ever".

Its my most memorable and beloved gaming experience. If that counts as best game ever, I guess it is in my book. This all boils down to your personal experience with the title though. How old you were, what was going on in your life, what time of year it was, and whether you even like the genreall may affect the way you see a game. Theres no denying it was a very polished game for its time, but personal experiences can affect the way you remember a title.

It's without a doubt the best Zelda game ever. But it doesn't come close to being the the greatest game of all time. That title belongs to Tales of the Abyss.

No. Playing OoT is still mad fun, but you can feel how dated it is, seeing as a lot of adventure games have already adopted elements from OoT and perfected them (not in the last place subsequent installments of the Zelda series itself).

A lot of Nintendo games hold up well over time. This is why I prefer stylized graphics to realistic ones. Sure, Heavy Rain looks pretty now, but in a few years it will look like crap. Wind Waker, Mario Bros.3, Mario World, etc. will look appealing for ages.

No. Even when it first came out it was never even a consideration for the best game ever for me.

  • Civilization II
  • X-Com: UFO Defense
  • The Secret of Monkey Island

All significantly better games. OOT wouldn't make my top 50 best games ever, personally.

The game is still amazing even on todays standards (obviously the graphics are worse). I have played it numerous times and love every second of it (well except for the water temple lol), so it is indeed the best.
