This probobly sounds like the most idiotic thread title of all time.  But I'm gonna try to explain.

Link and I go back a ways.  When I was really young, I played zelda on nes till the battery save thing died on me.  Took a while for that to happen.  But every now and then I'd just beat it again, then second quest it.  Loved the game, blew my tiny mind.  Zelda 2 I never beat as a kid (I now have on VC), but I loved it even more, the side scrolling action, the darker tone, the towns with npcs!  Played that a lot too, hard but I loved it.  A Link to The Past though . . . Now that was intense as a teen with snes,  I felt I was beating it to fast, so I limited myself to a dungeon a day.  Still played it over and over, and again was completely blown away, by the dark plot, cool look, and awesome playability.

After this though I took a break from consoles.  I had a job at 16 and bought the next gen early, and all the other systems too.  Got genesis, game gear, turboduo (now that i loved tho), neo geo (amazing!), 3do, saturn (some awesome games), and the ol jaguar (people hate it, but if they had one with tempest 2000 and AVP, theyd have played those games a lot.  unfortunately no other games).  Got kind of videogamed out, met girls, etc.  Starcraft filled the game gap for me too.  Playstation just never got me as a result, probobly unfortunately.  And N64 I hated as I felt they went backwards with cartridges, and got too kidsy (ive since changed my view tho).  As a result I never got Ocarina of Time, or tried it.

So now DS gets me into nintendo again, and I got a wii.  I also immediately got nintendo points and a ton of VC games in one day, one of them was The Ocarina of Time.  I wanted to play it later on, as I was playing a bunch of wii games then.  But I've tried to get into it several times, and I'm always put off by the story in the beginning, which just feels not too interesting, and the fairy character, which i kind of dont like.  I worry I've outgrown the game or something.  I should note I feel the same way about TP, which I also own, and haven't played.

But just on Ocarina of Time, I feel I should like it, but now my 360 broke and I'm debatin trying it again.  Convince me that based on what I've said, that I'll like it.  Give me the kick in the ass I need to play this game.

Thanks.

If your a real gamer I shouldn't have to convince you to play it haha.

Ocarina of Time is my favorite game ever so uhhhh....yeah.

Every gamer should play it. It's also similar to A Link to the Past so you should like it alot.

thats cold man!

just on pride alone you're making me want to, just to msg you my thoughts on the ending in a day or two . . .

It's not that cold it's just if you have the ability to play such a great game shouldn't you.  I mean sure some series are subjective on their awesomeness but this is fricking Ocarina of Time.  I'm sure some could call me out on not playing a few but I'd still like to play them.

I mean I know some who don't like OoT (outlaw ARGH) but most people have enjoyed it.  I think you'll enjoy it.

how about if you look hard enough you can find the gamecube disc with master quest on the cheap.

If you want to experience one of the best endings in video game history, do yourself a favor and go over the fact that Link lives in a world filled with fairies!

What the hell dude? You enjoyed the first 3 so much, yet you need convincing to get OoT?!

I'm probobly gonna be thanking you in a few days.

There will be no need to thank me.  Just pay it forward.
