I think he means in terms of influence, MJ practically left a stamp on the industry for others to build on, that's what he's probably trying to say.

But I still listen to MJ =(

If he means influence then yeah, OoT is certainly one of the most influential, up there with GTA3 and Halo: CE. 
...To be honest, those 3 games pretty much are the founders of most of the games today...

yes thanks.

so mazty when you say by today standards then you also say every game in that and previouse gens are shit right ? not exactly shit but you know mediocre something like that..

Ocarina of Time dungeons are still the best (3D Zelda only, obviously)

yes they are and in a way the biggest dungeons/temples

2D > 3D Zeldas IMO and not even a 2D Zelda would make it in my top 100.

OoT is a good game, but I wouldn't call it great.

this gen games not one game would make it in my 200 top of all time :S

something like this IMO is stupid to say no offense...i just do not think that anyone knows their top 10 games of all time and people are mentioning even larger numbers. taste changes so is everything else .people dont even know what it was they were eating 2 days ago.

I had cheeseburgers two days ago. Come now, stop getting offended because people don't share your view on the game. That's what the thread is about. Not everyone holds Ocarina of Time on a pedestal.

haha no im not offendend im just trying to make a point. seems like im getting nowhere so i will stop.

Oot was the best game available when it was released, of course its just a matter of tastes
i for example like Oot much more than i like Assasins creed 3
And i think its a better game in every way
