Most disappointing game you've ever owned?

this is what bothers me, everyone assumes I played it late or that I'm comparing it too heavily to other games, or that I'm just being spiteful or whatever.  I review games here, I've been reviewing games and movies since I was 12, I can tell the difference between objective love and hate or subjective love and hate.  to clear up issues, I HATE ocarina of time. I loathe it, I think it's ugly as sin, the controls were annoying as fuck, and I hated almost everything about the game...but that has nothing to do with my objective analysis of the game.  objectively I Feel it was 'good' maybe even 'very good', but certainly not great or a masterpiece, and I Really, REALLY wish people would see this.  Not becuase I have bias,but becuase it's really not a masterpiece. 

so cool, it went 3D for the first time, whoopdee.  coming with the third dimension was a whole slew of problems; it handled most of them reasonably well, but compared to every other game in the series, both before and after, its controls were sluggish and annoying.  the graphics were ugly as fuck.  it gets credit for a relatively smoothe transition to 3D (donkey kong, megaman, and many others were unable to make the transition well, only mario and zelda did the transition with relative grace, and metroid got a pass since it skipped a generation), for that it gets credit, but come on, lasts forever?  the 'greatest game ever' or at least a true timeless classic remains good well past its time, which ocarina does not.  It gets credit for being good for its time, but every zelda since then has been objectively better, and previous entries held up better due to the fact that they were 2D and relatively simple.  

I see. It must be hard to sit on the other side of the spectrum for this game. The graphics weren't very good but I never had an issue with the controls...despite that horrible controller. OoT was a simple game, not hard for most. It's still relatively high on my list even for being so old. People appreciate it because of the way it put its world together, and story. It had an effect and few games compared to it at the time. "Masterpiece" isn't the choice of one so since its held in such high regard it might qualify to be as such, but it is still only so for its time. Better games have been made since then and games will most likely always age.
