You was five!? Dont get me wrong, but with 5 years you can't understand or play game like OoT, you could not even to read. I currently have 5 year old kid and he definitely couldn't play OoT without help.

I was around 16, and I couldn't believe that game like that exist, I couldn't compare it with anything. For record, before N64, I had Commodore 64, Sega Master System, NES, SMII, Super Nintendo and PS1, so I was already pretty skilled player with lotsa experience.

...You couldn't read at 5?

The language in the dialog of OoT wasn't difficult to read or understand. It was Rated E for a reason. I did have help. I had a 10 year old cousin, but he mostly helped me through the "scary" parts I didn't like playing. (I fucking hate going through Hyrule Field at night to this day because of the zombie wolves) I only had my NES before that, and didn't need reading to beat most of Zelda 1 on it. Again, my cousin helped when I had trouble, but that was a rare occurance.

That's what I always talk about though. Games now treating kids like they're idiots. OoT and Majora's mask weren't even remotely difficult to understand at that age. It's a cartoon villian with a cartoon plot line. It's not a remotely deep or complicated narrative to follow at all.

No, in Europe back then we learned to read with 7.

Again you couldn't fully understand OOT at 5, especially MM. So game will not have same effect on you if you have 4 or 5 or you have 10-15 years. And back then OOT and MM were not cartoon villain or plot, it felt pretty realistic. Zelda 1 is totally different story, you don't have almost any story or reading, you just wondering in world.

You maybe think that IT is a bad game or overrated, but fact says otherwise, its best Zelda game and its consider for best game ever, and that's isn't without reasons.
