Let me be straight up with you. OOT is a little overrated. In the N64 era, Nintendo had lost all it's rpgs and fantasy games to Sony. There was a serious drought on the console of RPGs and even adventure games. Add that to the fact that people had been waiting for like 6 years for another console Zelda and it's easy to see why many, including myself, saw it as the second coming. Shoot I even skipped school to play the game. And for a long time it was at the top of my best games list.

Honestly though, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are better, but they will never reach that best game of all time status, not because they are lesser games but the context of their releases. OOT is still a good game, but ten years later you may in fact not get the feeling many gamers got when they played the first 3D Zelda game back in 1998.
