Sadly not, clear evidence from ignorant whiny b***hes in the Yuzu threads that have no clue what they're talking about. All despite how piss easy it is to get running and multitude of tutorials and youtube vids to help even the dumbest of normies.
The most moronic thing about gen z is that they genuinely will come across something they don't know how to do and will never think to Google it.
I was born in 2004 and learned how to pirate as a child by looking up reddit threads on what sites were safe and how to avoid getting in legal trouble for downloading roms. Many people my age are too moronic to even try to find a solution tona problem instead of asking someone to spoon feed it to them

nobody even taught me how to use a computer i learned by myself without internet access, then when i got internet i also learned how to use it by myself, i learned which links not to click when downloading shit all by myself, sure i got some adware installed in my pc a couple of times but i even figure out how to get rid of it. how can these people not figure out how to open a zip file. god and these people are from my generation, what the hell? is this a late zoomer thing?

I’m sure I can speak for many millennials and probably a few gen x-ers that this is the most vexing thing about zoomers and gen alpha kids to us. They have such a vast amount of free information at their disposal, and most of them have smartphone with web browsers… why is their computer literacy so low in light of this? Social media apps are just too good at monopolizing their attention, I guess?
I wonder if in another 30 years there will be a major software crisis, with schools panic re-instating the computer classes they never should have cut.
>What did you think of it when it first came out?
I got it for Christmas the year it came out. It was mondblowing. All my neighborhood friends came over and watched. All my friends at school were talking about it.
Nah all Zelda games were overhyped trash, just like the morons who say Witcher or Skyrims good. They were like 10 and made it to the field, got confused and dropped it.
It was my first time experiencing a sequel to a game I liked, really. I was born after SMW came out, didn't get Mario 64 for some reason, but I played a ton of ALttP and got OoT. So the transition from 2D to 3D was incredible. It's still great today. The PC port is the best way to play, nice little extras without ruining the original feeling.
Even though I had an N64 upon the games release I wasn't even aware of LoZ at the time, being a big fan of Mario (I got into LoZ later). I do remember seeing those big cardboard standee ads and posters advertising the game at game stores around the time though.
It remains the game of all time, and will remain so until civilization collapses and rebuilds. In the 90s/00s it was still possible to make a game better than OoT but the chance has passed, the human spirit is too corrupt and degraded and incapable of such great works until it's reborn in fire.
>Was ocarina of time that good?
Yeah, it was basically Link to the Past translated into 3D. They did a good job of it. >What did you think of it when it first came out?
Absolutely amazing. Still a good game now, some early 3D jank but not much. I'd like to see a new Zelda take a crack at the OoT / LttP formula without being overly reliant on a new gimmick or going down the Twilight Princess pitfalls.
I would say overworld progression was a lot less esoteric than ALttP. That game had a couple of "buy Nintendo power lol" moments. I think I'm thinking of the ice rod? It's just behind some random wall that looks just like any other bombable wall with useless crap behind it in the overworld and it's required for progression. I don't know if you were supposed to talk to an npc or something.
It's all I played for a long time, I was 9 years old then. I didn't think I would ever play another game with so much adventure and memorable moments ever again.
I thought it was kind of boring and never bothered getting out of the child era. I like the game now but i didn't really come around to it until i was in middle school
Majoras Mask was the game that got me into the series, I thought the transformation masks were a lot more fun and the opening of the game was a lot cooler.
Twilight princess has wolf link, but its not utilized nearly as well.
Hat in time has different hats that can change up your movesets, but they also don't take it as far as MM.
The big trick with the MM forms is they are actually like 4 items wrapped together + having their own unique thing.
Zora link for example is: iron boots, zora tunic, boomerang, and has his unique swimming stuff + magic shield.
yeah they did put a lot of time making each form unique. by the way i hate how they ruined the swiming in the remake, it went from being fun to absolute tedium in the remake, that to me ruined the entire thing, what a shame since it was one of the few remakes i enjoyed up to that point, well i also hate how the ruined the first two bosses while at the same time improving the other two bosses (kinda)

PC port soon, then we get the best of both worlds.
This. I acknowledge it's good, but it has no place being worshipped the way it has. The same of most Nintendo games honestly. I daresay there would be fewer people who outright hate it if it didn't have such a massive cult around it
A lot of people on Ganker are genuinely broken losers. Rather than admit they're frick ups who wasted their lives, it's easier to just pretend that it's everybody else who is the problem. "Anything they like, I have to hate, because I'm different and special and they're just stupid normies!" OoT is a great game that most people have fond memories of playing with their friends and siblings during their happy childhoods. That makes the eternal online NEET absolutely seethe.
Nice that you admit zelda is a game fondly remembered by children at the time. I was 20+ when it came out, I played it and felt, at best, indifferent about it.
As a kid I didn't have an N64 and only played it a little in store kiosks, trying it as an adult though I really wasn't impressed by it. I think it is just nostalgia that makes people think it's the best game ever made.
I would go as far to say that it still is that good. I first played it in 2004, and I played it for a second time a couple years ago. The game is just impressively well-made, and I think it's required playing for anybody aspiring to make a 3D action adventure game.
The game is paced very well, the minigames are fun, what few sidequests they included are worth doing, yadda yadda. The dungeon level design wasn't particularly challenging to me on my second playthrough as an adult (even though I played Master Quest that time), but it was still fun. Same could be said for combat, but most of the enemy and boss designs are interesting enough to make up for it.
One thing that really stood out to me in Ocarina of Time upon replaying it was how well the game fleshes out its characters and story despite the sparse dialogue and silent protagonist with its masterful use of sound design, animation, lighting and camera placement. The script is basically on a third grade reading level, but the story is genuinely good, and the characters are cool. The game does a great job of getting you invested in what essentially amounts to a macguffin hunt across nine levels with all of this.
Its a good game, but it has attracted the most annoying nostalgia filled homosexuals on the planet. They will bludgeon you to death with their golden cartridges if you dare to say it isn't the best game of all time
Just like the Toddlers of the Kingdom will call you geriatric if you don't call their $70 Minecraft mod the goffather of videogames
Ocarina of Time changed my impressionable young life more than any other game. 10/10. I was the perfect age to be mindblown by it. it's aged obviously but I still personally enjoy it and always will. The setting, the music, the gameplay and story. Just such a perfect, classic platonic ideal of a hero's journey. I mean saving a beautiful princess and the world, come on. You even literally grow up in it. I also love games that let you chill out when you want to, like the fishing mini game or just riding around hyrule. I love that Link has a cozy forest house to return to any time too.
I haven't been able to get into any Zelda game since twilight princess, but gamecube and older ones I still love to this day, including handheld up to minish cap.
I remember playing at the time after not touching nintendo for a while. I personally didn’t see the fuss, game felt juvenile or something and simplistic. Made me feel like I wasn’t missing much not having a nintendo.
It's only flaw is normalizing a large empty walking space hub between areas (Hyrule Field), A Link To The Past and the Handheld games did it best with skill checks cutting it off where you shouldn't go making it a lot smaller until you unlock everything and the worst offender being Wind Waker when instead of a skill check the King Of The Red Lions just outright refused to sail areas you weren't supposed to explore yet (and afterwards if you got lucky you would have a rupee barrel minigame pop out of the ocean to break up what is essentially proof on the part of the developers of boredom of nothing to explore or do in the Great Sea).
I like BOTW for the first playthrough because the novelty of it's based on 1/4 the map of Zelda II but it suffers because it's essentially Skyrim with no combat variety.
Other than that OOT has sovl because you can go back in time as a child and talk to Saria for feedback about different areas, do the mask trading minigame to get the Mask of Truth to talk to gossip stones for lore, and talk to everyone with various masks on to get more lore that does nothing to boost percent completion (surprisingly Majora's Mask is garbage by comparison of mask interactions and people).
Also the Forest Temple is peak comfy in terms of aesthetics.
The large field wasn't really an issue at the time and more like a positive, the world felt large and traversing it made you feel like going on an adventure. Then as an adult getting Epona was a great reward.
This complain exists because people know the game inside out now. Also there's this obsession with Content™ that means if your game doesn't have random garbage to gather copy pasted activities to do in the overworld it's empty.
I love the game but it IS empty in Hyrule Field. Granted going through the linear main quest of OoT is 1000x more enjoyable than doing repetitive shit and collecting mushrooms in nu-Zelda overworld distractions.
I didn't have N64 so I didn't actually play until the gamecube release that was packed in with Wind Waker. It looked interesting it wasn't enough to convince our family to get a N64. in 1998 I was probably playing either mostly Spyro or Warcraft 2.
i saw my cousin play it on his N64. he had all the big Nintendo games. I was not impressed with it. Spent more time playing WWF No mercy and Mario 64. He never thought it was one of the better games he had. Going online when I was older to see it called the GOAT game was really jarring. I was like that game? It was just another game.
Dinosaur Planet is superior.
no. most people didn't even get out of the deku tree and relied on living vicariously through the one friend that did.
zoomer cope if I've ever seen it. doesn't surprise me that the generation who can't figure out can openers couldnt get passed the deku tree.
also can't figure out how to open .zip files so they're playing on a 7 year old tablet lol
>also can't figure out how to open .zip files
This is bait right? Zoomers arent that stupid... right?
Zoomies and Alphies score lower in tech literacy tests than boomers. All they know how to do is swipe and touch tap apps.
Sadly not, clear evidence from ignorant whiny b***hes in the Yuzu threads that have no clue what they're talking about. All despite how piss easy it is to get running and multitude of tutorials and youtube vids to help even the dumbest of normies.

They don’t even understand how file folders work. Zip might as well be dos prompts.
grim, i cant imagine browsing my personal porn/hentai collection without a proper filing system

I've never heard of anyone struggle to beat the deku tree
how can anybody get filtered by the deku tree, are you that moronic anon?
Everything you said is wrong
I would say most people didn't get past some of the adult link dungeons.
>most people didn't even get out of the deku tree
Anon not everyone is moronic as (you) to not get out of the Deku Tree.
replace deku tree with water temple. how the frick do you get stuck in the deku tree ?
>What did you think of it when it first came out?
I got it for Christmas the year it came out. It was mondblowing. All my neighborhood friends came over and watched. All my friends at school were talking about it.
Nah all Zelda games were overhyped trash, just like the morons who say Witcher or Skyrims good. They were like 10 and made it to the field, got confused and dropped it.
I beat the game with no issues when I was like 7. I think you might just be moronic.
how is that even possible? the game tells you on the map screen where to go, the field isnt even that big, how? are you moronic?
first time: gohma scary 🙁
second time after a while: gohma is a jobber and this guy selling beans is worse than ganondorf

I think I love how this this game will buttfrick Ganker forever
Yes.
It's all I played for a long time, I was 9 years old then. I didn't think I would ever play another game with so much adventure and memorable moments ever again.
I was right.
the ending always gets me all emotional, every single time i beat the game, no other game does this to me
I thought it was kind of boring and never bothered getting out of the child era. I like the game now but i didn't really come around to it until i was in middle school
Majoras Mask was the game that got me into the series, I thought the transformation masks were a lot more fun and the opening of the game was a lot cooler.
has any other game done something like that? the transformations i mean, i cant think of any except mighty no. 9 and its not really the same thing
Twilight princess has wolf link, but its not utilized nearly as well.
Hat in time has different hats that can change up your movesets, but they also don't take it as far as MM.
ah yeah remember being kinda disappointed by wolf link, still pretty cool but nothing like turning into a zora
The big trick with the MM forms is they are actually like 4 items wrapped together + having their own unique thing.
Zora link for example is: iron boots, zora tunic, boomerang, and has his unique swimming stuff + magic shield.
yeah they did put a lot of time making each form unique. by the way i hate how they ruined the swiming in the remake, it went from being fun to absolute tedium in the remake, that to me ruined the entire thing, what a shame since it was one of the few remakes i enjoyed up to that point, well i also hate how the ruined the first two bosses while at the same time improving the other two bosses (kinda)
PC port soon, then we get the best of both worlds.
kameo maybe?
Banjo Tooie
what is it about this game in particular that causes so much seething? im not talking about OP but these replies all sound really butt hurt
It's a very massively beloved game, so if you don't like it, you're going to get sick of everyone else hyping it up.
i guess i get it, for example, every body says that gta 5 is one of the best games ever but i think is boring
This. I acknowledge it's good, but it has no place being worshipped the way it has. The same of most Nintendo games honestly. I daresay there would be fewer people who outright hate it if it didn't have such a massive cult around it
Contrarianism.
A lot of people on Ganker are genuinely broken losers. Rather than admit they're frick ups who wasted their lives, it's easier to just pretend that it's everybody else who is the problem. "Anything they like, I have to hate, because I'm different and special and they're just stupid normies!" OoT is a great game that most people have fond memories of playing with their friends and siblings during their happy childhoods. That makes the eternal online NEET absolutely seethe.
yeah i guessed as much, but nostalgia has nothing to do with it, it is genuienly a great game
Nice that you admit zelda is a game fondly remembered by children at the time. I was 20+ when it came out, I played it and felt, at best, indifferent about it.
let me guess, you only played it because a youtuber told you to and not because you were actually interested about it
Nailed it, chad enjoyers aren't afraid to say some popular things are truly good. The game isn't just a classic, it's legendary at this point.
what's that texture pack/hd mod?
lol it's neither, it's the romhack Project Indigo and it's not finished yet but so far fantastic
As a kid I didn't have an N64 and only played it a little in store kiosks, trying it as an adult though I really wasn't impressed by it. I think it is just nostalgia that makes people think it's the best game ever made.
just because you dont like it doesnt make it one of the best, but just because it is one of the best doesnt mean you have to like it
I would go as far to say that it still is that good. I first played it in 2004, and I played it for a second time a couple years ago. The game is just impressively well-made, and I think it's required playing for anybody aspiring to make a 3D action adventure game.

I thought it was great.

I don't know what's more sad, lying about this, or it actually being true.

agreed, also there was fast travel via the ocarina.
I love the game but it IS empty in Hyrule Field. Granted going through the linear main quest of OoT is 1000x more enjoyable than doing repetitive shit and collecting mushrooms in nu-Zelda overworld distractions.
come on the field isnt that big in oot
this letter filtered us for weeks until a friend told us to get it
I didn't have N64 so I didn't actually play until the gamecube release that was packed in with Wind Waker. It looked interesting it wasn't enough to convince our family to get a N64. in 1998 I was probably playing either mostly Spyro or Warcraft 2.
Yes it was good and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I still have fun playing it today.
i saw my cousin play it on his N64. he had all the big Nintendo games. I was not impressed with it. Spent more time playing WWF No mercy and Mario 64. He never thought it was one of the better games he had. Going online when I was older to see it called the GOAT game was really jarring. I was like that game? It was just another game.
It's dogshit. Never cared for sm64 either.
honorary shitskin
I love all the little secrets scattered all over the game.
