fuck the n64

>>9699584
Pc port allows you to go at higher framerates, but never tried that one myself.

>>9699609
Dont listen to this fag, if you want to emulate just do it on pc and not the buggy gamecube one.

n64 crt everdrive gc port/modified qol hack

>>9699628
>not the buggy gamecube one.
this proves you never played the gc version

>>9699584
emulation all the way, the n64 is absolutely not a console that benefits from purism or historical fidelity, i could be mistaken but i don't believe it even supported rgb at any point in its lifespan. just emulate it dude.

Master Quest disc > N64 1.1/1.2/1.0 > Collector's Disc (it's the same as MQ but without MQ) > Wii U > PC emu > PC port > Wii VC > 3DS

3DS is the worst not because of the graphics (which do suck) but because of the shoddy camera work and the lack of animations for everything. Everything is too skippy and stupid looking. A farcry from the cinematic masterpiece that OoT is. Was the 3DS incapable of rendering animations or something? None remain who know.

>>9699584
PC port easily
There's really no reason to play anything else anymore.

ship of harkinian (the pc port)

looks good, allows you to enable tweaks like hero mode, allows you to bind items to the dpad if you want.

just don't play 3ds unless portability or 3D is your highest priority, the art is worse, the colors are oversaturated, and the cutscenes have worse cinematography

As much as I like Nintendo I always thought every Zelda game seems boring. I don’t get the appeal. isn’t it just a run of the mil fantasy game? I played ocarina of time as a kid and got bored and stopped playing at the volcano level with the fat rock eating humanoids

>>9699712
it's a variety package with good presentation, good soundtrack, satisfying combat (great enemies), a wide variety of tools to use, and puzzles that will have you stumped for a minute without being so hard that you run scrambling to gamefaqs

>>9699729
not him but zelda isn't very good when it comes to what you mentioned by general standards.
also oot isn't hard

>>9699738
>zelda isn't very good when it comes to what you mentioned by general standards
"general standards", lol. games are, "generally", fucking dogshit, so i know you're talking out of your ass. If i ask you to name games that do the things i listed better, you'll be listing multiple games that succeed in different ways, whereas zelda does it all in one.

>also oot isn't hard
it was hard enough that every zelda game that followed was easier

>>9699712
they're jack of all trades, master of none desu. good solid games, made well. but overall I find myself preferring games that are excellent in ways that Zelda is merely solid at.

original n64 game on a real n64 on a crt

>>9699584
Ship of Harkinian is by far the best way to play this. Unlocked frame rate, increased resolution, and a million QOL features built in such as fixing the dogshit camera controls. It is hands down the best way of playing through.

>>9699646
This

>Muh framerates

>>9699628
>buggy gamecube one
It runs perfectly fine on gamecube, only Majora's Mask on the Collector's Edition disc fucks up because the emulator doesn't do the 8MB RAM allocation properly.

>>9699584
Unless you're playing on a CRT, just play the PC port.

>>9699584
The PC port. I don't bother with the extra frames though, makes animations look weird.

>>9699931
Thankfully you don't actually have to fuck with the framerate at all, I don't personally; there's still some fucked up animations they need to fix like the horse galloping. But the QoL features put it up there for sure.

>>9699753
Only the GCN games were easier. Majora's mask and the post /vr/ games are harder

>>9699712
>isn’t it just a run of the mil fantasy game?

Basically no. There isn't any other game series that allows the same level of meaningful world interaction that Zelda does. If there really was I'd be all over it.

God I hate this game.

You didn't name the actual best way, which is on the N64 using a 1.0 Japanese cartridge either with an RGB mod through a BVM or with the N64Digital mod through an OLED.

>>9700634
>But the QoL features put it up there for sure.
That's fair. The only QoL features that are really worth it are adjustable text speed gyro controls if possible and mappable D-pad for the Ocarina, Iron/Hover Boots and tunics. The only thing left is what controller to use unless one doesn't mind supplementing the C-buttons with the second control stick. Otherwise you'd have to get a 3rd party N64 controller and an adaptor or wireless ones.

>>9700856
Also it's not like OP's gonna' actually engage with the advice and is just making a drive-by question while passively absorbing suggestions.

>>9699584
Buy an N64

>>9699584
PC emulation with paraLLEl-RDP. As far as I know outside of original hardware, it's the only way to play with proper texture filtering. A way to know if your textures aren't fucked is to look at the side of the stairs on the left after entering Kakariko. The line should be smooth with proper texture filtering. It's all jagged in most other ports including the gamecube version. Even outside of the texture filtering paraLLEl-RDP is simply the most accurate way to play outside of original hardware.

>>9700878
Also paraLLEl-RDP but running at 4x the native res

>>9700878
The PC port does three-point filtering as well.
There's no reason to emulate this game anymore.

Go meet some nigga beside the dumpster behind McDonald's and plug his controller in your mouth

>>9699584
I'd also say PC emulation, not the """port""" that has you relying on Discord
Ideally downsampled and with a decent shader if you want it close to the real experience

Version 1.1 since it's uncensored. There is a software to edit it yourself if you want to fix typos and stuff (try not to go overboard with anything else, though)

Just compile it yourself retard

You're better off playing ALttP,WW or TP. Every Zelda game builds upon the last and OOT suffers from being the manlet middle child of the franchise.

>>9702443
You don't even need to compile it, you can download complete builds straight from the github because it's set up like that now.
