Over the past week I have seen multiple people say OoT was not their favorite Zelda title or that great of game. This has boggled my mind and even annoyed me in some instances.

 

I see no reason why this game should be ragged on after years of everyone saying it is great or was great. Obviously this is based on those who have only played the recent 3D remake. It was not just something differrent for its time people! It was revolutionary! The open worlds, stealth, story, epona, mini games, hidden objects, boss battles ( dat final battle!) dungeons and...fishing. What did it not have that makes you say it was sub-par?

You're 100% right. Having played OoT when it was a new game, I can say that it was truly revolutionary. The music, gameplay, graphics etc etc were great. Having a 3D detailed open world was just amazing; anyone claiming it wasn't anything special clearly is looking back at an era of gaming they were not a part of. 

Would I replay it? No.  A good game does not necessarily need to be replayed to be good. It was a revoltionary game, but as time moves on, our expectations increase due to the advancements in technology and evolution in game design. If it was released yesterday, it'd be a pretty shit game. The fact it came out 10 years ago (or however long ago, cba2wiki) is the reason why it was revolutionary. Think about the lightbulb; no one would look at a lightbulb and say it's not revolutionary. 

shit ? :S no way.. if releases this gen it still would blow everything away that is if the game is actualy made on this gen console,graphics etc.

 

not appreciating OOT is like not appreciating Michael Jackson lol
