Ocarina isn't all that good, even compared to just the other games in its own series. A Link to the Past had more content and exploration, Majora's Mask had better narrative flow and atmosphere, Wind Waker was the better Zelda game all around, and none of them are perfect games by any stretch of the imagination.

Ocarina was, however, a historic game. It pioneered half the controls we now take for granted for 3D games, and in that regard, yes, it will always be important.
