I disagree, but that is the thing when it comes to such a large and beloved franchise like Zelda (and Final Fantasy for that matter). With so many quality games that offer their own unique experiences, not everyone is going to see eye to eye on everything. Ocarina had a huge impact on me as a child, but looking at it in retrospect compared to other Zelda games, I would consider it a mid tier game...like around number 10 TBH. However I accept that not everyone will agree with me on that. For reference my top 10 are... BotW Majora's Mask Twilight Princess Skyward Sword Link's Awakening A Link to the Past Four Swords Adventures Wind Waker Ocarina of Time A Link Between Worlds This again, will vary from person to person. From there, I would have trouble ranking the rest as they are too close to count. Well...other than the original Four Swords, Phantom Hourglass, and Triforce Heros being my LEAST fav Zelda games that is. |
No game has been as impressive at the time of release as Ocarina of Time was back in 1998. Maybe Mario 64 has a case. Zelda never got another "Wow" moment like that one until BotW (which in 2017 which still didn't match Ocarina's mind-blowing experience in 1998). Even Metacritic agrees.
