- Unpopular opinion: Ocarina of Time is overrated

I own both OoT and Majora's Mask on 2DS, and have tried to get into both.
MM: not a problem OoT: very much the opposite engage flame shield
I use Gameraven and you should too.

If you didn’t play it when it first came out I’m sure it’d be hard to see the impact and appeal that it had but because it had such an effect on me (was really first game I beat on my own as a kid) I have huge nostalgia for t and like to play thru every few years or so.

I think maybe you could've said this ten years ago and it might've been right, but I feel like nowadays plenty of people enjoy talking about Ocarina of Time's flaws.

"Ocarina of Time is overrated" is one of the most popular unpopular opinions.

It's a shame it's such a letdown. I really wanted to experience and enjoy such a big moment in gaming history

Honestly I think OoT is amazing for its time, but I'm not sure it aged super well. It's difficult to say, since playing it today is such a hugely nostalgic experience for me.
MM I feel is superior in atmosphere, characters, quirkiness, etc. Which, to be honest, is where 3D Zeldas generally excel anyway.

Ocarina Time is insanely innovative. Check out this article
http://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/the-legend-of-zelda/21226/the-many-innovations-of-the-legend-of-zelda . The first 3 innovations listed are all from Ocarina of Time. Lock on targeting, the camera system, and context sensitive controls. Just having one would be amazing, having 3 is mind boggling.

My first time playing it was on the 3DS and I enjoyed it. Granted, it was my first 3D Zelda.
|
|
One of the biggest problems I think so many people have when playing OoT is that its innovations are so integrated and improved in modern gaming that you can't really notice them.
Its similar to how the 1915 film Birth of a Nation created so many innovations (talking about filming and story techniques, not the horrible racism) but a modern viewer won't notice them since they've been ingrained and improved in film all their life.

It’s a contrarian opinion, an ignorant opinion, a wrong opinion, but not an unpopular one. Why? Because people hate on popular things just to be contrarian. Is playing it for the first time NOW going to be some mind boggling experience? Of course not. That’s true for so many popular games. Vice City, for instance, feels clunky and like a ghost town. Half Life 2 feels outdated. But they pushed the envelope and raised the standard for video games.

I'm still a little salty over egoraptor's Sequelitis about it. Literally complaining about that pillar before the boss room in the Fire Temple and how jumping over it isn't a challenge. That's not the point of the puzzle.

That's not the point of the puzzle. Egoraptor either complains about OoT on purpose to get views or his spatial awareness in 3D games is terrible and he can't play 3D games well.

That's not the point of the puzzle. his problem is that he plays it like it's a link to the past and refuses to change he just mashes attack and then when enemies block it he complains about the "waiting"

I'm 17 and played both way way after the original release dates
Ocarina of Time holds up to this day as one of the best games of all time Majora's Mask not so much |

The problem Egoraptor has (at least in GameGrumps) is that he absolutely refuses to read any information or alter his strategy in any way. He complains about the waiting in OoT because enemies will guard against your attacks, but he doesn't use the abilities that let him break that guard. Most underwater combat in MM took him ages (Gyorg apparently took 90+ minutes) because he never bothered to read the zora tutorial and never uses his shield, so he was killed by enemies that are effortlessly killed with the electric zora shield.

I just watched this movie from the 1960s. I gotta say, the special effects are pretty dated.

It's the best game of all time tbh. Pretty hard to overstate how much of a masterpiece it is.

I've never played Vice City, but HL2 was a 10/10 experience when I played it two or so years ago. It definitely was a "mind-boggling" experience. So why shouldn't I hold OoT to the same standard?

Im not going to scroll back up to single out the guy that said Half Life 2 is dated but.......
You know who you are, and you know you are WRONG. Seriously though, I started playing through again two days ago and just finished up today. Its soooooooo goooooood. Even the levels I hated as a kid are just fantastic. Running away from a helicopter in a hovercraft for half a level only to get a machine gun installed and send that helicopter running scared and damaged til the big open boss fight is just great design. Every level just works and has this flow to it I dont think Ive seen in another game since. You go from a subjugated city to train tracks to hovercrafting through sewers to fighting hordes of zombies in a forgotten Ravenholm to sniper ridden streets to gokarting down a coastal highway to THE FLOOR IS LAVA THAT GETS UP AND EATS YOU to a beach invasion where you COMMAND SAID MAN EATING LAVA to a prison where you have to breach the walls to let in your maneater bugs to that same subjugated city in the middle of an uprising you unintentionally signaled to fighting 5 story tall walking insect tanks with a squad of resistance members who see you as a messiah to fighting through a massive tower fortress to losing your gravity gun to getting your gravity gun back WITH COMPOUND INTEREST to one of the coolest final level experiences in gaming. Even graphically the Orange Box version is so solid, and the facial expression really makes it feel like theres a living being there. I really thought Id have to work up to playing it here and there but I couldnt have been more wrong. I beat the game a few dozen times as a kid and I appreciate it sooooooo much more now.
This is a cool sig

It should be acknowledged for pioneering the 3D action adventure genre, but I do think many games have surpassed it now.

I have to actually agree with Unfair. SS2 is arguably my favorite game, but it's definitely got that 90s clunkiness.

It's incredibly revolutionary and it's probably the most important game of all time for me.
But yes, there are a lot of flaws with the game and literally all 3D Zeldas are better
