I started playing it recently, and I’ve found it very fun so far.

>>4520686
This though, some of the locations of/what to do with items is hard to figure out. That’s what bothers me the most, but there are pretty thorough guides online of a game this old, so if I get really stuck I just look things up.

The music is great. That is a huge reason to play it.

The main reason people nowadays rate the game more poorly than at time of release was because the game did a lot for 3D adventure games in terms of, well, the adventuring part. Most 3D games were still really shitty at making a world feel big and lived in. The game also made exploring that big world fun without turning into a collectathon like shittier games like Donkey Kong 64 did.

I guess you'd say it put 3D games on notice at the time.

If playing a game like that doesn't do it for you, it's probably because you've already played plenty of 3D games that are just as competently made, because after Ocarina came out the standard of quality went up a notch.

It's still a good game, it's only a great game if you remember it in its time.

The VC versions are pretty accurate to the original, exactly the same as the bonus disc way back on the GC actually. Minor nitpicks are some glitches that behave differently, no sweet N64 AA, lack of a six-button controller so you're forced to use the stick for button commands, and of course some of those "updated" gerudo textures, but not anything even some of the more die-hard fans would notice or care about. At least all of the graphical effects work, which is more than I can say for most emulators.

Wrong. OOT has not stood the test of time and as the glamour has worn off it has proven to be amongst the least of all Zeldas. It is greater only than its corrupted proginy that followed. It cannot touch earlier Zeldas, that heap of crap Zelda II excepted.

>>4521264
>the game did a lot for 3D

What bullshit. The game was primitive in its day as were all N64 games. The only advancements in 3d games of any genre during that period were being made on PC. You want to play a good game that made a difference? Play Quake.
You want to play a primitive, glitched, overrated pile of shit that still gets romanticised by morons on the internet; sure play OoT. But make sure you start cutting afterwards because if you have a positive reaction to it then that is a sure sign of mental issues. Repros of the game should come with pre-fabricated suicide notes for low-taste scum like you who actually like OoT in order to make it easier for us to be rid of you. Let me tell you this: the sooner you're off the fucking planet the better for the rest of us. Take your OoT fanboy friends with you. Take your Majora's Mask friends too. No advancements in 3D graphics were made in that game. Also Zero in Wind Waker. Zero in TP, Zero in SS, Zero in any portable version, or any other version. Technically, Link to the Past made greater leaps with its spinning triforce logo.

TWW easily has the worst dungeons out of all the 3D Zeldas. Horrible difficulty curve that never picks up, mediocre pacing, and the buddy system is very hit and miss in the last two main dungeons. I will say Tower of the Gods is one of the best dungeons in the series, though.

Its pitifully average for a game with such an insane hype around it. And I say insane, because people are calling it the best ever, and its far from it. Not even the best of its series, genre, the n4 itself or generation.

And don't misunderstand. Its not a bad game at all. I am merely stating that the hype and the actual game live on different planets. Maybe different galaxies...

I say play it all the same, because the n64 has SO, few good games anyway. So any random n64 owner could (and really should) just get the 20, or so good games available to it.

OoT: Master Quest is the shit. Definitely screws with your head more in terms of puzzles in the dungeons. My favorite re-make is the Forest Temple. I got stuck for the longest time there. There's a switch down in one of the wells in the courtyard, and you have to look at it from a very specific perspective so it is very easy to miss.

The water temple is actually easier in Master Quest (the irony) but all the other dungeons are harder.
