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. 


Half-Life took the biggest WOW that year for me, just the start of the game alone was perfect. I was 24 at the time, loved OOT yet never saw it as revolutionary. Those big moments were Civilization in 91, Dune 2 in 92, Doom in 93, LBA in 94, Frontier First Encounters in 95, Tombraider in 96, FF7 in 97. Wind waker actually gave me a bigger wow than oot, I didn't want that game to end. So many epic games back then. (And time to play them, still not through Uncharted 4 and haven't even had the time to boot it up the past 4 days)
