Great article. I think Ocarina of Time is held on too high a pedestal which makes everybody way too critical of anything that is too similar or too different, even though every Zelda is completely different. I think it's probably one of the most important games in gaming history, and I think almost every 3rd person fantasy/action/puzzle/adventure game is following its blueprint, but I think this obsession with the game that most people have makes them unable to see the brilliance of the rest of the franchise before and after. Ocarina was just one of many flavors in the Zelda ice cream store, and I found Link's Awakening and Twilight Princess to be much tastier. And while Ocarina may be one of the most important games for the industry as a whole, I definitely think Link's Awakening was actually the most important Zelda for the Zelda franchise. (Even moreso after the Iwata Asks about it.)
