Yes, very funny, but there was indeed no other 3D adventure game like that at all, first time I played it in my cousin house it blew my mind in a way no other game has ever done, it felt like videogames have jumped several years into the future with that one, nothing came even close, all my ps1 games in that moment felt like nothing in comparison, it was unbelievable for its time and almost every game of the genre nowadays has been influenced by it. 

I played Little big adventure in 1994, that impressed me more than Oot. Not fully 3D sure, it's all incremental steps after all.
Oot is the better game, but as far as impressive leaps go Oot wasn't all that close to the top. Ofcouse in '98 it had very stiff competition with Half-life, Baldur's gate and Metal gear solid, what a fantastic year.

Well I was a kid, I had 9 when I played OOT for the first time, but I was very used to videogames by that moment, In my house we had an Spectrum DX, an Atari 2600, a Mega-Drive, a GB and a Ps1, I used to play a ton of videogames and I remember that OoT was the biggest WOW I have ever felt in my life in that regaard, it really was, FFVII and MGS were big wows too but OoT was epic for me, and I didnt even had the console.
