IMO, just because the game was mind blowing at the time, it doesn't mean another game can be better than it to people. |
Which takes more skill and which is more impressive? A game that redfines the way video games are played? Or a game that refines a game that redfines the way video games are played?
OOT was a master stroke. It was an abosolute mastery of art and design. The distance between itself and all other 3D games in it's era was as wide as it could get. When you compare WW to it, you must keep that in mind. At the time, we ALL had played OOT and we thought WW was just more of the same, with cartoon graphics, easier difficulty and boring fetch quests. It didn't wow us. It didn't have much of an impact at all.
In order to judge a game, you must only compare it to it's peers. You can only judge it by what other games were being released at the time it was released. And when you do that, OOT stands alone.
