aw, how cute. 

I own it on N64, I got the Gamecube Master Quest disc, the "Zelda Collection" disc with it on it, and I got the 3DS version as well...trust me, I've gotten with the program plenty of times.  Even adjusting expectations for its time period and limitations it's disappointing. 

Final Fantasy XIV

Man, I hate that game so much and I was so hyped for it. There are bad games but then there are bad games that I'm so hyped about I build an expensive new gaming computer. I've ranted on the game enough in the past so I'll just leave it at Final Fantasy XIV disappointed me in just about every way possible.

While I agree with your POVs about Ocarina of Time (mostly because A Link To The Past is my all time favourite and did everything way better), I don't think you're going to convience anyone who thinks otherwise .

For example, I've read in this thread that Skyward Sword disappointed a ton of people, but personally it's my second favourite Zelda of all time, just barely below ALTTP and way above Ages/Season which are my third favourite) and neither I'll convience anyone who disliked SS that the game is good nor will they convience me that the game is bad. It's all down to personal experience and opinion about the games and in that aspect, OoT catered deeply to a lot of people back then, even if it did have a lot of failings.

You can deny but you know in your heart its true

It's all about nostalgia.  The first 3D Zelda game.  Getting to ride an (at-the-time) realistic horse.  Z-targeting.  For me the thing I remember most fondly about OoT was the ambience.  It set a certain tone and it was just perfect.  Nintendo has yet to create another Zelda that works so well in every aspect of the game.  Wind Waker was close, but TP, MM, and SS weren't anywhere near that level of perfection.

oh I know, but it's a load of fun trolling people with nostalgia.  I'm just genuinely baffled by all the love that game gets, since it really is merely 'good', maybe even 'very good', but nowhere near 'the best'.  like we both know, Link to the Past did everything better, even graphically it looked nicer (yes, I know polygons were all the rage, but my god they looked ugly! and Ocarina wasn't much better than it's N64 brethren). 

Blah.  I still own it, I give it a solid 7.4 score, but wow I'm sick of people singing its praises when everything it does, other zelda games did it first and/or better. 

I'm sure theres more but FFXIII pops to mind first.

WoW Cataclysm aswell no doubt.

The DS Zelda's were very disappointing cause of the stylus controls.

Sonic generations, not nearly as good as optimistic reviews made it out to be (still has the same classic 3D Sonic problems and the 2D sections had responsiveness issues).

I usually get rid of such games asap as not to remember them anymore.

It's not so much that it's the first 3D zelda, it's that it's the first zelda game MOST gamers have played.  Same thing with Final Fantasy VII, that era was when gaming started to creep into the mainstream, and games on those generations tended to be much bigger.  Nostalgia is a bitch. 

Also I disagree with you about "no other game works as well".  Mostly becuase Ocarina was stuffed to the brim with poor design and conveyance issues. too much of the game's puzzles relied on guesswork or trial and error.  Not saying it was a majority, but there were quite a few times when I was like "What?  you never told me I needed that item to continue the game!".  this was the ONLY zelda game that I needed to read an FAQ to get through, and the only zelda game I ever thought to myself "wait, how the fuck would I have got that had I not looked it up?  The game didn't tell me ANYTHING about how I needed that."  Every other zelda game was much better, in that respect. 

OOT had the best use of items, bosses, and everything

Indeed, OoT wasn't exactly the best looking game on the n64 at all, even Majora's Mask was better, but not much better (and that's counting the use of the 4MB expansion pack) and a load of games looked better than it (Banjo games, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, etc.).

Basically it's the equivalent to what FFVII (and you said on your latest post) did for JRPGs. Neither of those two games were the best (at all) in their respective series, but both propelled both series (and genres too) to a much more mainstream audience which didn't take notice that there were far better alternatives previously released.
