No. Although I wish a game like Zelda U could do it, there will never be another jump such as 2D to 3D that will blow critics' and consumers' minds alike.

Widely seen as better, probably never.....but DooM, SoTN, and Super Metroid say hello.  In all honesty, a lot of people like to talk about nostalgia, but I genuinely don't think "good" games by today's standards are on the same level as "good" games that are widely considered tops of all time.  Play Callof Duty and play DooM and tell me which is a better game.  Play Guacamelee and play Super Metroid, SoTN and tell me which is better,  etc...but opinions

Nevermind, didn't read a portion of post. 

Exactly, that was my point. ^^

If people take off their nostalgia goggles, then OoT wouldn't be considered the greatest game of all time. But GOAT is so subjective that this question can never be answered.

The gaming industry is a lot different today, especially when it comes to review, even games that are better than it won't get a score near it..

It's hard to pass a classic once it reaches this level. It's almost a "Citizen Kane" level of legend. But it could hopefully be surpassed. Maybe this November ;)

It's funny you mention Citizen Kane. I actually asked this question a few years ago, framing the conversation in terms of Citizen Kane and Vertigo: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=148928&page=1

Yeah many times over:

FF7

MGS

Shadow of the Colossus

Half Life 2

The Last of Us

and soon Bloodborne

See, this is why we can't have nice things. I'd rather have you pick FF8, MGS2, Ico, (I'm alright with Half Life 2) and Uncharted 2, but instead, we end up not agreeing and thus OoT remains the best until we can sort this out :P
