Each person you ask will give you a different answer, and sometimes the same person may give a different answer when you ask him next time. Metacritic-wise though? WIll never be topped, it's just not possible. And sadly so, because I'm among the people who don't understand all the praise for OoT. A good game, and that's it. |
In fairness, even though OoT is not in my top five Zeldas, much less top 5 games, it was revolutionary in terms of navigating 3D space. The targeting sytem with the Z button became the standard and showed others how to make compelling combat in 3D. If you played many other games at the time camera work was often atrocious and gameplay suffered from it. OoT was an extremely polished game that stood out in its time as a standard bearer for game design.
I am not sure we could ever see that again unless there is a new frontier in gaming like 2D to 3D and a single game says "Here, this is how you do it" and makes everyone go "Ooooh!" again.
