It's impossible to separate nostalgia from my relationship with this game, they are intertwined into one big package. I've been playing this game ever since I was 7 to 8 years old. But, I've also played a myriad of games as a kid that I consider horrible messes today. Nostalgia is important but I'm definitely not blinded by it. Ocarina of Time is the real deal.

The controls are great, the music, the graphics, the gameplay flow, the sound effects, the dungeon design, the character design, the story design. Oot is a certified masterpiece. Flawed in a few areas, but nonetheless great.
