That isn't always the case. A popular one I often get told is that I would not hold Ocarina of Time to be the best game ever made if I went to play it again today. In reality, I played the original N64 version last year, in the build up to the release of Skyward Sword, and my opinion has not changed. |
OoT is a peculiar beast. I didn't actually play it until I got my free copy for pre-ordering Wind Waker. It was 2003 (I think) and I said "This IS the best game, ever!". I didn't play it again until I downloaded it to the Wii via the VC. I thought it was unplayable on that console. Then, I got it for the 3DS and, once again, I declared it was the best game, ever. Maybe I have multiple personalities or something.
