        It's a game that's largely lauded for its historical presence, and all of its good ideas (of which there are legitimately several) have been copied and iterated upon to the point they seem obvious rather than pioneered in OoT. Coming back to it after decades of games it inspired it can seem somewhat rote and overly formulaic, especially in the back half where it stumbles a bit.

            All three child dungeons have a very clear theme, a solid progression centered around obtaining the dungeon item and using it to both re-contextualize elements of old rooms and open new ones. The adult dungeons are more complex and less focused, with this pattern intensifying as they go on. The result is that even putting aside the infamous key in the Water Temple, by the time you're going through the Spirit and Shadow temples there's little you haven't seen before structurally or mechanically.

        As anons have said, OoT was absolutely amazing for it's time. It had an amazing world, production values, innovative third person gameplay, an unmatched atmosphere, fantastic OST. It honestly felt like another world you could dive into and interact in any way you see fit compared to every other action adventure game on the market being a linear by the numbers experience. It did 3D open world on consoles before GTA 3 made it popular a console gen later.

        Now a days, it just feels like any other 3rd person 3D action adventure game, but the fact it can even still hold up at an "okay" rating 26 years later is a testament to it's influence and design.

            they did nothing. they're shitty uninspired open world games with nothing to offer but bad mechanics and worthless cut and pasted content like garbage disposable loot and other recycled assets.

            not only do they not copy other games well, they're not even good games.

              elden ring took a lot of inspiration from botw in how it designed its world, much in the same way dark souls heavily took from oot.
              there aren't many open world games that promote emergent gameplay like totk does, where the physics are so consistent you can build literally anything and it will work exactly as intended to such a polished degree.
              you can find games that did things first or better individually, but none put them all together and made them all work pretty much flawlessly like totk did.

        While OoT broke new ground and invented a ton of shit that people take for granted these days, it's honestly not the most incredible experience in the world. It has its moments, but every actual moment the game has is literally, unironically surpassed by Majora's Mask. Which, while not breaking much in the way of new ground, is still an incredibly unique experience even now. To this day, I've never played or experienced something that has made me feel quite the way MM makes me feel.

          I disagree, I think OoT still offers a lot in terms of core experience (dungeons and structure) that MM doesn't. Still, I think this might be hard to notice on a first playthrough if you're coming to series late , and without a critical eye.

        I did too and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it because, before playing them, I expected OoT to feel like a rough early 3D game that was notable for what it did technically rather than actually being enjoyable to play and I though LttP would be a better game where they had refined the top-down formula even if it wouldn't have been as impressive technologically, but when I actually played them I found myself enjoying OoT even though the novelties of it as a technical step forward obviously aren't effective today.

      if you liked the first game's playstyle/adventuring/dungeon delving then play:

      zelda a link to the past (Snes version before any remakes)
      zelda links awakening dx(gameboy color)
      the capcom gameboy zelda games(all of them!)
      the 3ds sequel to a link to the past.

      the cel shaded handheld games(with the boat and the railroad) were boring af to me and i didnt like the art style. felt more juvenile/puzzles all too obvious/easy.

      you can try zelda 2 but its very different from all other zeldas. i beat it with my mums help and a game genie back when i was 6.

      as for 3d zeldas i would recommend basically playing them in release order so you can see them progress, the stories dont all follow up but they allude to each other and are best experienced in release order.

      ocarina of time and majoras mask are a must. i would not recommend ds versions. ruins the art style to me. emulator or use a real n64.
      windwaker(i skipped. tried it later. hate tutorial area and art style)
      twilight princess is great/weird/different. i played it with wii controls. one of my top favorite wii games.
      skyward sword is alright. can skip or start it then decide to keep playing or skip. very boring/easy/generic feeling zelda to me.

      botw was ok but loss of real dungeons made it not a real zelda game to me. havent touched the sequel.

      i really enjoy the older style, overhead cam zelda games and the dungeons a lot more than the 3d games.

            I don't think I've ever gotten stuck with a puzzle in a game because of a glitch.
            At the very least, I can say with absolute certainty that doesn't happen in Zelda.

        The intention was word of mouth.
        A majority of these games are designed to be hard and obtuse so you'd go to school and tell your friends about it and share tips and secrets.

        It's literally how Pokemon became popular. Red/Green actually sold like SHIT for months in Japan until word of mouth about Mew, which was added into the game as a joke, started spreading. Then sales skyrocketed to infinity.

        Concepts like the internet, datamining, and content farms make this impossible. Any new game will have all its secrets revealed and spoiled in a youtube thumbnail a week before release.

                Please, compare any 2 screenshots of the same place and time between the original vs the 3DS remaster and try to show ONE situation in which the original doesn't mog the remaster. All the ones you posted, from what I recall, look better in the original. Every time this comparison is made the remaster is put to shame.

              The part most people miss about OoT 3D when complaining about them being bright and atmosphere and shit is that they were made for 3DS. That screen was fricking terrible and dim they had to brighten them so you could see shit. GBA ports had the same problem where all the sprites would be brighter and washed out in an emulator because of how they were changed for the trash screen.

              • 5 months ago
                Anonymous

                The color space of the GBA screen is actually different, which is why colors appear oversaturated in emulators on an sRGB screen. It's not an issue of the screen not having a backlight/being too dim - the screen itself is not capable of producing vibrant colors. You can see this with the GB micro which shares a similar color space to the original GBA screen, and has a backlight.

              I'll give credit to Grezzo for at least making OoT play nearly identical to the original including glitches, but they accomplished little else to say nothing of their other projects.

                Grezzo represent everything wrong with vidya today in my opinion, if we're truly to consider video games art, it shouldn't be acceptable to just hand classic titles people once slaved over to some random jap sweatshop to 'improve'. It should be derided the same way the GTA 'remasters' were. Imagine doing something like this to a Monet painting and telling the art critics they're wrong. Of course the only reason they got the gameplay right is because Nintendo handed them the source code, making it accurate down to the glitches as you said, they're complete hacks otherwise and have no artistic talent.

        Strangely, it wouldn't if we had better memory capacity.
        Part of the reason things feel faster is that we're limited with capacity more and more as we age.

        We could literally solve this problem medically.
        In fact, the moment we become hybrid bio-mechanic memory based, the moment we will have a problem with endless storage and time feeling "too slow".
        I remember hating how slow time travelled as a 4 year old. By 10 that was no longer a problem. By 15 I was struggling to keep pace and nowadays I blink and a fricking month goes by. Thought the 20s was more of a blur thanks to drugs too.

        This is a solvable problem we could self regulate, as strange as that sounds.

          I disagree. I think that a lot of childhood is just very similar. As soon as people start becoming self aware, they're usually in school and they're usually in school growing up with their classmates for the next fifteen to sixteen years. You're usually at that school for three to four years, and if you go to college it's usually another four to whenever. I think when you get out of school, you begin to realize how quick the world moves since you are now charges with some responsibility in your day. If I moved every year as a kid, it would seem quick to you too.

        Then one day she started doing fewer things. I tell her if something's up and you get a non-answer and if you press her she'll manipulate you and tell you it's because you're not doing certain things the right way.

        Then after a while she'll be doing nothing at all while you're still bending over backwards trying to please someone who's determined to be miserable and even more determined to make you more miserable than her.

      Women (just like most blacks) have poor impulse control. They don't think ahead, just in the moment, so sure she was happy and prideful in leaving you - there's no way she's unhappy because of something SHE did! You dodged a bullet in that she left because of that, and not that you had to find out she was banging two other separate guys behind your back for about a year without you noticing. I went through that, and haven't gone back to that life since.

    When you have crippling back issues and organ issues that early, you basically just give up caring and think "do I go with a bang or do I just suffer for 60-80 more years(this is pre-covid, that's now 10-30 years post covid)".
    While I wasted it on uni, I'm glad I ditched the career path before covid and partied every week at nightclubs.

        Interesting story, atmospheric music, a lot of fun secrets and dumb easter eggs. If you liked kung fu movies back jn the day a lot of characters were lifted directly from them.

    Ocarina of Time turns 26 years old and Half-Life 2 turns 20 years old this year.

    I never thought I'd see the day where Half-Life 2 enters boomer game tier.

    Im 30 and a half and Ive done nothing with my life, I've literally wasted a comfy life in drugs and procrastination, I literally want to cry when I think of the 90s and 00s and how happy and healthy I was but also how I could've done a lot stuff to prevent my current situation, I feel guilty for betraying the kid I once was

    Also, OoT went down on my tier list years ago after a long reign as the GOAT. Nowadays Majoras or the 2d games feel more interesting and replayable

      As a kid I never wanted to be anyone or do anything, just to play video games and watch anime. I feel proud for living up to that now that I'm 35

    Wait.
    When OoT3D came out that meant we could play N64 games on the go now.
    Which means Switch 2 will be able to PLAY 3DS GAMES ON THE GO

    Why did they make such a shitty remaster for 3DS instead of a big budget Wii U remake?

      No, the original was a 2D game. It's why people say they prefer 2D Zelda - they're talking about the original OoT.

    I would usually shit on such threads but last 5 years have been a roller coaster, that I hate to agree OP.

    Play current games that look cool
    Play old games that look cool
    Take breaks and come back to avoid burnout
    Don't think about rating the game in your mind or critiquing or circlejerking on Ganker or discord

    these are objectively bad models. they show a completely lack of talent and knowledge in both modelling and texturing.
    and show no understanding of colour theory.

    this is the 3D equivalent of a child's shitty MS paint drawing.

    Serious question: would you guys play a FULL remake of OoT? I'm not talking about some graphic improvement, but a complete overhaul.
    Also, do note i didn't say "like" or "be happy if they did". I said "play", even begrudgingly so.

      Maybe, but I'd hate myself a little bit for it. All they need to do is what they did with 3D, just with higher resolution textures and better lighting.

      Remakes are pure cancer. If I want to play OoT, I will simply play OoT.
      Make new content. Make a sequel. Make a prequel. Make an unrelated game. Reuse the engine for a different project. Do literally anything else.

    Funny you make this thread because I’m replaying it for the first time in over 15 years. Finished the Fire Temple last night and just got the iron boots. I’ll save the Water Temple for one sitting and see if it’s as bad as everyone says it is, because I made it through as a 11 year old with no problem. What I’m noticing is I don’t remember the dungeons being this short, the combat being as simple, and the overworld being so empty. It was all groundbreaking for the time though and I have so many memories of each area that my childhood mind filled with imagination. Diving off Gerudo Valley is as fun as ever and I can’t wait for the Spirit Temple. I’ll always love this game, it’s like coming back home after being away for such a long time.
