/vr/ - Retro Games

Why the FUCK was this never succesfully copied? Nobody even TRIED it.

There are GTA clones. There are Pokemon clones. There are Diablo clones. Hell Stardew is a Harvest moon clone. But there are almost no Ocarina clones, the best game ever made.

A game which shamelessly copied it but of course with new lore and assets would be quaranteed to be a cash printing machine.

I'm at the forest temple, when does it become fun? So far literally nothing about this game is appealing.

People like to saythat Ocarina of Time is "overrated" or "OoT bad MM good", yet nobody really seems to go indepth about why besides baiting.
Personally, I enjoyed the game, but I think the problem is that the game is too easy, which can make it boring at times. There aren't enough enemies with interesting fighting tactics, dungeons are designed in such a way where it feels like a casual stroll (At no point are you required to pick which door to use your key on), and the outside segments feel almost unfinished (Has anyone gotten killed outside of a dungeon/mini-dungeon?)
This also ends up hurting exploration. The world is filled with power-ups and upgrades, yet almost all of it is unnecessary because Link is very capable by himself anyways, and most players would only do it if it was directly in the way while ignoring the rest (When was the last time anybody thought that they really needed a Red Potion to survive?).
It bothers me since they got the difficulty perfect in Link to the Past, yet kind of dropped the ball for this game since they were thinking too much about the fact that 3D was kind of new and the size and scope of the world.

Kill yourself.

Daily reminder that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best game ever made, and if you didn't play it when it came out you missed out, you will NEVER get it and there's nothing you can do about it. Good day.

Sick of bait from both sides on this one - why is this fun? No "muh epic journey", no "muh basics ov game design", no "it was revolutionary for the time/i liked it as a kid". Why do you find this enjoyable in the present day? Let's get some discussion going.

A handsome blond white man saves a blond white woman from a dark desert man?

huh

Admit it. You hated this pile of garbage then, and you hate it now. This is the most overhyped piece of filth to ever plague the /vr/ community, and anyone who actually enjoys this glitchy mess deserves to never touch games again.

Yeah, no

>semi-open, interconnected world brimming with secrets and treasures to find
>despite being open, mostly linear progression with excellent pacing and focus
>not very difficult, but relaxing and engaging
>fun combat with lots of different items and techniques to use
>wide variety of mini games and side content, ranging from archery and fishing to bug hunting and racing
>memorable characters and settings, great blend of drama and comedy
>perfect length that doesn't overstay its welcome, but still leaves plenty to do once the game is finished
>great art style/presentation and god-tier soundtrack

Anyone who says this doesn't deserve to be called one of the best games of all time is an idiot. I always scoff whenever I see some retard say something like "too many cutscenes" in a desperate attempt to find a flaw in this amazing game. This is, bar none, the best adventure game ever made.

this game would be so much better if there was no boring shit in between the dungeons
i get why its popular but damn, get to the point

Pic related has to be in the top 3

This game is such shit. It sucked in 1997 and it sucks now. I shouldn't have to explain myself, but here we go:

>gameplay consists of mostly walking through wide open fields and empty dungeons. In the 2D Zedlas each screen was designed to be filled with enemies, puzzles, items to find, etc. Now you literally just run around with barely anything to do. The occasional enemies you do encounter are taken down with Z-Targeting like it's babys first Zelda game.
>OOT has a complete lack of objective/storyline. The story consists of the Deku Tree calling you the chosen one for no fucking reason at all. Then Zelda tells you Ganondorf is up to no good (of course, Ganondorf hasn't done anything illegal yet) and for some reason Link listens to this stupid bitch. While listening to Zelda, Link gets the Spirtual Stones to open the Sacred Realm, BUT this is what Ganondorf wanted the entire time or something and he used this to get into the realm. Ok. So in listening to Zelda, the bad guy just walked into the Sacred Realm (even though he was nowhere near Link when he used the Stones). Ugh.
>game is overall fucking slow as fuck. Endless walking, slow and boring combat, dialog boxes take forever to finish (Nintendo must legit think all their gamers had a 2nd grade reading speed), Navi interrupting constantly, the Owl showing up constantly, opening a chest takes 17 minutes, when getting an item like a bomb you get a 40 page description on how to use the bomb, general things slow down the gameplay (like King Zora taking 30 minutes to slide his fat ass over on his throne).

People say this game was ahead of it's time and they were right. Most of this OOT shit infects the games of today.

What are some good games I can emulate on my phone? Preferably nes64-ps1 range

Do you know of any games aside from pic related that are like ethereal fairy tales in video game form? Please no bully.

>people are STILL defending nostalgia: the game
Why? This game was revolutionary in its day, but why is it still heralded as the best thing to ever grace gaming? Especially considering how it's just a literal 3D remake of ALTTP? Is it because normalfags are too young to remember ALTTP?

has there ever been a more nostalgia-dependent game?
