    Don't get me wrong, OoT is a great game. It's an amazing game. But it's one of the most overrated games of all time... It's not perfect. It has huge flaws, and it's very dated and empty.

    Some other Zeldas are much better, too. The worlds are bigger, the stories are better, and there's much more to do.

    If you like the game and it means something, that's awesome. But stop with this junk that it's "the best game of all time", or even the best Zelda game, for that matter.

    You know, people have opinions. When they say this is the best game of all time, they mean they like it the most.

    True it can be worded better, but you really can't tell everyone what game to not like the most.

    I'll agree with you if we can also apply it to Majora's Mask.

    Oh wow.

    Why would you say such a thing in the OCARINA OF TIME 3D PORT BOARD.

    It's like you're trying to start a fight or something.

    Anyway.

    I like many other Zelda games more then Ocarina.

    And I do feel a lot of the love for the game stems from nostalgia. Nostalgia. Ah, how I hate you.

    Anyway. That doesn't matter.

    I don't really know what you're trying to accomplish by posting such an incendiary thing here.

    To give you an idea of what you are doing.....

    Saying Ocarina is overrated is like......

    Going to the Final Fantasy community and saying the best FF is either 12 or 13.....or

    Saying that FF6 is overrated. I say 6 because 7 gets a lot of hate. I'm pretty sure of that.

    Going to the Smash community and saying Brawl is the best Smash game.

    Saying Other M or whatever it is called is the best Metroid game.....

    Going to Dustloop and saying that BlazBlue is better then GuiltyGear......

    Going to Shoryuken and saying Street Fighter IV is better then Third Strike......

    Saying Dark Dawn is better then the first two Golden Suns....

    Saying the best Pokemon games are NOT second or first gen but THIRD or FOURTH GEN! WHAT? Gen 2 is the best! Why? Because you know......old school and stuff!!!!!

    Got it?

    Have fun.

    I guess.

    What, do you expect him to go to a Final Fantasy/Street Fighter/non-Zelda board to complain about a Zelda game? That makes absolutely no sense. Don't like that he's complaining about your favorite Zelda game on its respective board? Too bad. He has every right to give his opinion and you have every right to ignore this thread.

    I agree with the TC. Do I think Ocarina of Time's an awesome game? Yeah. Is it one of my favorite games of all time? Perhaps. Do I think it could be improved? Definitely. It just seems that most people are looking through nostalgia-tinted lenses and refusing to acknowledge the success of other Zelda games.

    I think Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game, and that's not due to any "nostalgia". I hate that word, people always say that. "The game was never that good, it's just that you're getting that feeling of nostalgia". I played through OoT and beat it last night....again, and I had a blast, and that has nothing to do with some stupid feelings of when I was a kid and played it, it has to do with the fact that I think it's a great game, even in today's market of games. The game has a ton of charm in my opinion, and while it might be a little sparsely populated and things like that compared to other Zelda games, it's still my favorite. The music, dungeons (come on, the Forest Temple is an amazing dungeon, at least in my opinion), and everything else just come together perfectly for me.

    The fact of the matter is, is that people have opinions, and if this is their favorite Zelda, then that's their opinion. It doesn't mean their judgement is somehow clouded or that they're basing everything off of the feelings they had when they were kids. I can't speak for everyone on that, but that's how I feel on the matter.

    I like the Wind Waker better when it comes to console Zelda games. I never got the hype for this game.

    Why? It's there opinion. Your pretty much telling people there opinion is wrong. OoT is a great game but being the best game ever is nothing but an opinion.

    Just about anything that gets to be as popular as OoT is overrated, I'd think.

    I was being sarcastic you silly billy.

    My examples where just to show the equivalent of what he is saying would he to be talking about another game series.

    As in.......within the smash community. There are not too many games, really. There is 64, Melee, and Brawl. 64 is kinda in the shadow of the next two games in the series. Melee is loved. A lot. Brawl is hated on by a lot of random people.

    Just go to a Brawl match video and you'll see comments like "Brawl sucks" all the time.

    I was just trying to say how crazy of a thing it is to say Ocarina of Time is overrated on the 3D Port boards themselves.

    "Sorry, guys. OoT is overrated."

    That statement seems to have no purpose here other then to start a fire. I highly doubt someone saying such a thing in such an area is trying to start a meaningful debate or anything. Just trying to get people up in arms.

    As I said. I don't really find Ocarina of Time all that special. Pretty standard Zelda stuff. Zelda 3D, really. I have played Link to the Past, Windwaker, Twilight, Hourglass, Minish Cap, and Four Swords Adventures. ( I won't count Four Swords since that game is so different )

    My favorites so far are Windwaker, Link to the Past, and Twilight Princess. Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass not so much. Ocarina is hanging around in the middle.

    Now that I think about it, I think that you think I said the opposite of what I meant. Yeah. Because I am agreeing with the first post's statement of "Ocarina of Time is overrated." Not so much with the whole presenting your opinions as fact. But that is not so important. That is not will you will be remembered for.

    Oh well. What can you do.
  • Sep 2, 2011 4:27 am GMT
    My opinion, Ocarina is a great game. I do not think it's the greatest Zelda game, (to me that honor will always go to the original) but I do very much enjoy it.

    I personally think Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is underrated. But to each their own.

    OoT is one of those games that was massive at the time, but nearly all aspects have been done better in newer games. There are Zeldas with better graphics, deeper worlds, better puzzles, better exploration, better combat, etc. In my opinion I don't see any reason to find OoT to be the best Zelda, I only see reasons to thank it for influencing better Zeldas. FF7 and any other game on this level of popularity I tend to see the same way.

    ...Really?

    So if someone were to say "this is the best game, in my opinion" that would be incorrect? Of course it isn't, it's an OPINION.

    Opinions are neither correct nor incorrect; they're...well, opinions.
