And I just think that it is not the case anymore. It is a very subjective matter. I am myself a great Nintendo admiror, but not a fanboy. So I agree with most of the posters of this thread when we say that OoT is a groundbreaking, great, awesome (you name it) game. Specially if you look at it IN PERSPECTIVE, taking into account the games that existed in those days. But I've read too many times posts about OoT still being at the top of the reviews in gamerankings, without considering that those reviews were made around the time the game was released and in relation with the other games OoT was competing against. But they keepon saying it like the actual games are no match for OoT and that is not true! I think there are plenty of games that already surpassed OoT, having grated that OoT was the father of all of them. Dante G To tell you the truth, I don't know. You know why? Because that game is competing for my gaming time against current generation games I just bought which I actually consider fun. In the meantime, playing OoT for me is like... work. I do it because it gives me something to post when I come here and doing that is fun. IF ONLY I COULD FIND A DAMM WIRELESS GAMECUBE CONTROLLER! But it's been impossible! So everytime I sit down to play OoT I have to do it when my five years old son is not around running and juping. I don't want an accident with my Wii. That is a factor that I must confess has killed the experience for me a little bit. Some other thing I hate about playing OoT: the menu system. With Zelda TP it was way simpler. In OoT I got to pause the game a lot to play the ocarina, to choose the items, to check the map, to wear the boots, etc...
One question: whenever I am done with the water temple, is the game a down-hill-joyride from there?

Well everyone hates fanboys, but you must remember that likeing a game and being willing to defend its quality does not necessarily make you a fanboy, it just makes you a fan. Bulldozing one's opinion through and disrespecting others does indeed make one a fanboy and it's important to distinguish between the two.
You're right that it's all subjective but that has to work both ways. People are ALLOWED to belive it to be the best game of all time (I know as it's my personal favourite game of all time) as long as they don't blugeon others with their views but that means those that don't belive it to be the best game ever, or the best in the series must extend the same courtesy.
As for your final question; that depends on which order you proceed to do the final two temples in (yes you can choose). The shadow temple I personally find to be the least interesting of the post-adult dungeons, on the other hand the Spirit temple is in my opinion the best dungeon in the game with the best music, best enemies, most interesting puzzles and best overall design.
