I literally didn’t even properly play the game from start to finish until middle school, and I played it on Wii virtual shop. I always rented it as a small child on N64, I’d usually just play other people’s files because they actually had items and gear I thought was cool, and then I’d make my own file to try and progress but I’d always run into road blocks, the game just seemed so massive and long, even I knew I was too little for it, then I’d go back to banjo kazooie or Mario 64
It was my only game for a long time so I beat it one summer. I still remember panic screaming trying to hit ganon with light arrows and finally cutting off that b***hes head.
And then Navi just fricking leaves. So I waited at the end screen. No Navi. Left the game on all night came back in the morning, no Navi. I was devastated.
I was really hyped to play as adult Link but Dodongo's cavern filtered me. My cousin, 7 years older than me, had a small guide so I gave him the game for a week and he gave it back to me as adult Link.
OoT's gameplay/progression design almost feels like it should be the endpoint of the "classic" 3D formula in retrospect. Yet it's the first one. Every single "classic" 3D Zelda after started losing the plot more and more (I love MM as a whole, but I'm sorry, even Ikana starts to whiff of the blatant filler tier busywork that would pervade the future games under Aonuma).
Ocarina of Time had so many features in the same game it's mind boggling, even Nintendo themselves couldn't replicate it with Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Majora's Mask comes the closest
I'm moronic so I actually got and beat MM before I played OOT. I didn't play OOT until the Zelda GC collection with Master Quest and I thought it was a shittier game because it felt like so much was shit I already experienced in MM. I've recently played through multiple randomizer runs with Ship of Harkinian and I fully understand why the game is held in such high regard. The amount of fricking novel gameplay mechanics is really impressive and only LttP contributes more to what we think of when we think of Zelda.
those are tedious too
actually come to think of it a lot of zelda games are pretty tedious. I never finished one. Botw and totk are unironically the best. And yes I am aware that that opinion could get me killed
Its the dungeons, they get pretty tedious. Solve puzzle, go next room, solve puzzle, go next room. The only thing to look forward is the item you get to do more things outside
It would be my first Zelda, what order would you recommend me to play the saga?
After OOT I was planning to jump to MM, is there another I should play before or after it?
MM and OOT are basically the same game, so playing MM just after is fine
after those you play wind waker then twilight princess then breath of the wild
3DS remake is great, despite what Ganker says. One of the better remakes. Though the lighting is downgraded, is censored in a few places, and is way less gritty feeling overall, it is still a great version imho.
I would recommend the 64 version first, if at the very least, just to say you've played it. The only complaint I have going back to N64 is the lower framerate, but shit like that you get used to very quickly, at least for me.
n64 is around 20 iirc, 3ds is 30, but after you play n64, 3ds seems like 60 lol.
the music story characters are unironically most of what makes it fondly remembered
when you're actually playing you're like yea this is ok
but when you look back on it you mainly remember the music and how all the in game characters cheered you on it seems like the best thing ever
Idk. I just don't agree with downgraded remakes. OoT, and MM can get away with it because it was a decent upgrade to models and such compared to n64. TP would just be shrunken down and it would've probably suffered a lot for it. Look at Xenoblade 3D. Luigi's Mansion and DKC Returns are examples of this too. Yeah, they work fine and added some new features, but it just isn't better nor will it ""age better"" than the original release. If anything, it would have been interesting to see what they would have done if they did make TP3D.
I also didn't like that we got WWHD & TPHD with barely any significant improvements or additions. Still can't believe they left WW unfinished again despite having a second chance.
>Look at Xenoblade 3D. Luigi's Mansion and DKC Returns
I do, they're good ports.
TP might have gotten more fans if it were on more consoles. It's somehow gotten underrated even though it was the best selling game in the franchise until BotW, which is wild!
>I do, they're good ports.
You think? Idk, I'd just rather play the originals, but I guess it's preference. It's between new features (3DS) or graphics (Original) mostly. I should also mention I mean on real hardware, because they probably do look great emulated either way. >best selling game in the franchise until BotW, which is wild!
Yeah, pretty weird thought.
ports aren't an either-or situation, you can play either one whenever. take your 3DS out with you and play that. plug your home console in and play that. *shrug*
It's nice how open ended this game is.
I just finished the Fire Temple as soon as I got the hookshot.
Turns out the bow is only used to get the map in that temple, so you can just do Fire before Forest because Fire is closer to castle town.
I don't care if you skip cutscenes in games you've played, but you should be condemned to hell if you skip them on the first playthrough of any game, beat the game, then go on Ganker to complain about a game you experienced a percentage of.
You wouldn't do something like that... would you...?
Any anime game is worth skipping cutscenes, even on the first playthrough. Don't need an unhealthy dose of cringe being served to me every other level.
not true
i was there, kid
everybody had playstations cause they were cheaper and had boobs and gore
n64 only became relevant when they dropped the price and packaged it with multiple games
that's why the younger millennials are the ones with the hard on for it, cause they got it for a christmas gift when it was on discount
kids my age were old enough to not be impressed by the crappy polygons and shitty textures
>People knew Ocarina of Time was the greatest game ever made the day it came out, which is amazing to me
is this some form of autism, how do people say this in seriousness. it must be sarcasm right
It’s shit*
*it’s my favorite game
do you really think both of these things?
a rollicking good time, everyone should play it once
never heard of it
I have fond memories but never actually beat it. it is too long and difficult for a little kid
Same. Getting to the deku tree felt like a chore. And getting to death mountain was filtered me

a lot of features you take for granted in todays modern action games find their origin in OOT
kinda blows my mind how hard they nailed z-targeting right off the hop
blows my mind how many games frick it up after being clearly shown how to do it properly from the very beginning
The original marketed slop that people actually fell for
Yes. YES
's sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, also for the Nintendo 64, is great
A better game
This is not even close to being as good.
ok, give an explanation on why and how.
Blue. In Zeld, in Smash bros, etc.
>give an explanation on why and how
Not an argument, I accept your defeat
>Not an argument, I accept your defeat
vastly superior in every single way
vastly inferior in every single way
artistically better, but I prefer ocarina of time because I actually played OOT more as a kid.

Majoras mask is way better T.Played OOT as a child, but didnt play MM till last year
Ocarina of Time had so many features in the same game it's mind boggling, even Nintendo themselves couldn't replicate it with Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Majora's Mask comes the closest
Most overrated videogame ever made
and which youtuber gave you that opinion?
OOT being overrated is the equivalent of calling Shakespeare overrated
Both are true.
>Both are true.
Shakespeare contains esoteric messaging. Only the wisest can decrypt its hidden meanings.
Good luck trying to find something like this in Ocarina of Time.
nah, that's earthbound

Tedious
This isn't a WW, TP, or SS thread though.

If I have no nostalgia for it, does the game holds up in 2024?
Thinking of playing the 3DS version
>does the game holds up in 2024?
no but I recommend you play it anyway
It would be my first Zelda, what order would you recommend me to play the saga?
After OOT I was planning to jump to MM, is there another I should play before or after it?
MM and OOT are basically the same game, so playing MM just after is fine
after those you play wind waker then twilight princess then breath of the wild
Still fun today.
The N64 version is still fun today.
t. Played it last year.

n64 is around 20 iirc, 3ds is 30, but after you play n64, 3ds seems like 60 lol.
Fricks sake, got the fall timeline ending
Reminder that Zelda is a Christian series and pointing this out makes people incredibly angry even though they pretend they don't care.
>Got a modern remake for the 3ds
>Zoomers still get filtered
how?
In terms of the 3D Zelda games:
Ocarina of time > Skyward Sword > the rest
Honestly.
85/100 game
You can stop wanking it like you were there now zoomie
In fact you can stop wanking it period, Jesus wept it's the most wanked game ever
decent game but Zelda peaked on SNES
zelda peaked on the game boy, you troglodyte
Which tunic did you guys use?
red because it had fire resist and looked cool
Red with the Hylian Shield, Blue with the Mirror Shield.
What's your preferred order of dungeons?
Fire>Forest>Water>Shadow>Spirit
Forest>Water>Kid part of the Spirit>Fire>Finish Spirit>Shadow
Fire>water>forest>spirit>shadow
>that old PM model
Man, it looks so crap with P+'s updated OoT Link costume in mind.
Zora with black gauntlets and mirror shield
the music story characters are unironically most of what makes it fondly remembered
when you're actually playing you're like yea this is ok
but when you look back on it you mainly remember the music and how all the in game characters cheered you on it seems like the best thing ever
THE LEGEND OF KINO: STANDS THE TEST OF TIME
MOGGED by majora's
I didn't appreciate how nice this little cutscene was as a kid, but damn is it cinematic for a 1998 video game. Lots of little scenes like this
>i love watching games instead of playing them
t. zoomie
TP should have got a 3DS port instead of OoT.
Idk. I just don't agree with downgraded remakes. OoT, and MM can get away with it because it was a decent upgrade to models and such compared to n64.

and it's a deep dark splotch on the otherwise impeccable N64 library
very good
>Anons born when this game came out are 26 now
>the N64 is almost 30 years old
25 years 41 days old you sick frick
Yes
*also on pc
>ask why the cutscenes aren't skippable, since I don't care about the story
>everyone loses their mind
Some "perfect" game you got there.
I don't care if you skip cutscenes in games you've played, but you should be condemned to hell if you skip them on the first playthrough of any game, beat the game, then go on Ganker to complain about a game you experienced a percentage of.

People knew Ocarina of Time was the greatest game ever made the day it came out, which is amazing to me
When's the last time a game came out and was actually greeted with "this could be the greatest game ever" hype? Half Life 2?
elden ring. haven't played it yet but that's what i heard
Sonic Heroes.
Spyro
Batman Arkham Asylum
Super Mario Sunshine
Earthworm Jim
Metroid Other M
Halo Wars
Crash Bandicoot
not true
i was there, kid
everybody had playstations cause they were cheaper and had boobs and gore
n64 only became relevant when they dropped the price and packaged it with multiple games
that's why the younger millennials are the ones with the hard on for it, cause they got it for a christmas gift when it was on discount
kids my age were old enough to not be impressed by the crappy polygons and shitty textures
Nah poor kids mostly had PlayStations. You sound like pic related though. We had Goldeneye motherfricker
Runescape
Sonic Unleashed
Upon release? The last that actually had that vibe was Skyrim and GTA V. Sorry, it’s true though.
BotW
Minecraft
Definitely not “upon release” that’s because it was PC only for a bit. Took a while for the spread of Minecraft
Red dead Redemption 2
Only vidya ending in modern times to get me to tear up during the credits
World of Warcraft
Diablo 3
Starfox 64
Baldur's Gate 3
no thank you
>People knew Ocarina of Time was the greatest game ever made the day it came out, which is amazing to me
is this some form of autism, how do people say this in seriousness. it must be sarcasm right
water temple by terminal montage
Classic game. Definitely one of the main contenders for GOAT.
