| artur-fernand said: Here's a more pertinent question: of the people who hail Ocarina, how many have actually played the game in recent times, and NOT back when it came out. Or how many love Ocarina and do not have the game as one of their first 3D games? From my experience, nostalgia and the WOW factor it had in 1998 goes a long way in making Ocarina so popular. To me, it's a decent game, but not "Greatest of All Time" material. |
Well I feel the same way about all the Majora's Mask love, but then again I'm not in the habit of proclaiming particular games to be the greatest of all time. Since I've only played a fraction of the games frequently ranked among the best, I hardly feel qualified to make such a judgement.
I have, however, played most Zelda games multiple times, and I'm confident in my assertion that Ocarina is far superior to Majora in design. Some people enjoy MM more and that's fine, but if they want to have a real debate about which is the "better" Zelda game, I will argue in favor of Ocarina.

I don't think it caused me any major problems on my playthrough. One cycle I completed the second dungeon with under a minute left on the clock. It was pretty awesome, actually. But if time had run out before I'd finished, I might have felt somewhat annoyed.
