OOT isnt even better than LttP.
LttP isn't even better than LA.
LTTP literally got outsold by Sonic the Hedgehog

You lost the debate in the last thread, COPE
LttPgays are the Zelda equivalent to Genesisgays in Sonic. Both eternally seethe over their shit opinions about OoT and Sonic Adventure being inferior.
It needs revolutionary new hardware. OoT is still considered the best because it was the best when 3D was new and exciting.
so we'll get a game that surpasses OoT when some company makes a going into games machine
Unironically yes. People will be so blown away by what the new hardware is capable of, it'll give a massive boost to whatever game takes best advantage of it.
Tetris?
It split GOTY with Final Fantasy 2, and didn't review very well. No game aside from SoulCalibur came close to the 99
are you legally moronic? a game needs to be good. metacritic scores are the last metric for measuring a game, especially considering it's not part of said game.
I'm pretty sure the average game is miles better than Zelda64. Z64 is just an overhyped game and people still think it was something groundbreaking when it wasn't.
1998 was literally the greatest year in the history of the industry, OOT couldn't have had higher odds against it
In order to actually surpass OoT, the game practically would need to be OoT, but better.
In principle, a game could be made that was original from the ground up and, through the immense talent and work of its creators, managed to surpass OoT in its shear quality and creative construction.
In practice, OoT is so brilliant in so many fundamental ways that actually accomplishing this would be a moonshot, but at the same time, OoT achieves its greatness despite having very serious flaws that could very much be viably improved by an 'upgraded' version of it that would flat out take it from already being easily the best game, to another level entirely where it so thoroughly surpasses everything else that beating it out would be virtually hopeless.
Why is Zelda the most overrated franchise OAT?
We get it, you only play mature games for mature gamers such as yourself.
struck a nerve, huh?
Zelda isn't overrated, as it really is the apex of all gaming in terms of the things it does uniquely well.
However half the series is straight up mediocre to bad, deeply flawed, or at least simply redundant and not worth playing, and if that's what you wanted to point out you'd be fair to do so.
>Zelda isn't overrated
It is overrated, especially everything past MM and especially BotW/TotK. It is not the apex of anything, OoT is a very inoffensive, well done fantasy adventure game. What does it do better than every other game? Nothing really, its combat is basic, its puzzles are basic, its story is there, its characters are there, its music is good. It just did everything well enough at the right time while the industry was coming to grips with 3D.
Zelda games are rather unique at managing character-environment interactions in a seamless way. Tools are weapons and weapons are tools. It's easy to give zelda for granted given its been around for so long, but there really arent many zelda-likes around because ut's just extremely difficult and expensive to make them. The only one that qualifies outside of the official games is okami, as far as im concerned. The 2D ones are a bit easier to replicate but even then most attempts fricking suck. For the record i tried lufia for the ps1 with lots of expectations and it wasnt remotely as good as most 2D zelda games.
>The 2D ones are a bit easier to replicate but even then most attempts fricking suck
Best 2D Zelda-likes I've played are Ittle Dew and especially Ittle Dew 2. Ittle Dew 2 does it better imho
i was an ittle dew main in slap city
never played her games though
Children think it's a really cool and "mature" fantasy series (that they're allowed to play while mommy is still in the room because there's no swearing) so they're infatuated with it, and as a consequence when those children grow up to become man-children they hold the series up on a pedestal due to nostalgia and fanboyism.
t. ex-tendie Zelda fan
Majora's mask already exists.
But to surpass majora's mask? Simple combat, no dark souls iframe bullshit. Compelling side characters to follow around and see how they live, Dungeons with a lot of interactive puzzles, some mysterious setting. Majora's mask is enough.
MM does sidequests well, but is inferior in everything else it does
MM's sidequests are so good because you care about the characters and story. MM's atmosphere is fantastic as well. I'd say it does those three things better than OoT too.
Eh, I feel like MM's atmosphere is a hodge podge personally. I feel like I would've liked MM a lot more if more of the game was about the side quests since I didn't like the dungeons in that game.
>ad populum
No, that's how you get BotW and TotK.
