The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 1st time

[S.Peelman]

Enjoy!

I'm a bit jealous. I wish you could play through a couple game "for the first time" forever.

To me it's basically the perfect game. Everything about it is just right. I can't see any flaw, anywhere. And the best part about it is, the game only gets better and better as you progress. Even today, I unconsciously compare almost every game to it, and always find something (well, a lot of things actually) that are wrong in them that OoT did right. Even today, I feel there is just no better game. It is the only game I would ever rate a perfect "10/10", and it will probably stay my favorite game of all time forever. I'm glad it still has the highest metascore ever at 99, and by the standard which games are rated today it should probably be a 120 (judging by some things that go for a 95 these days).

It was also the very first game I remember I was really hyped for. I had played A Link to the Past before, so I knew of the franchise, and even at the young age of 10, without the internet, I knew what was going on and I knew I had to have that game day 1. And so I did, got it as an early Christmas present after nagging my parents and grandparents for half a year back in 1998. There's nothing to playing something for the first time ever, but the 3DS remake could almost give me that feeling again. It's a really well-done remake.
