[BONUS POLL] MB Video Game Classics: TLoZ: Ocarina of Time

Aux-In · 07-18-2018, 11:58 AM

Haven't played the game in ages, so I only remember bits and pieces of it. It was aight. Vast and expansive, but it felt like a chore to do some tasks. Had a cheeky and annoying vibe with the fairy trying to tell me what to do all the time. I can see how it would be a classic for some, say, if the N64 was your first system, and since it had so few RPGs, but for me I can't get there with it. There were other games for the system that had a better fun-factor.

I've always loved the music from this game specifically. It's definitely on par with my favorite video game soundtracks which also includes Wind Waker's OST. Plus turning into adult Link is always badass.

I introduced Ocarina of Time to my kids using an emulator the other day. I got a bit misty eyed when I was in the other room and could hear them learning the songs to play. Took me back!

Still can't believe this came out 20 years ago.

Certainly. Majora's Mask is up there as well.

That's why it's tough to compare the two when Majora's Mask goes a different route in some ways. It's still really good tho but I prefer OoT simply because there's no time constraint.
