I think Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, isn't that good, and nostalgia blindness has led to it becoming one of the most overrated games of all time. CMV

As someone who didn't play the game upon its original release in 1998, I recently got around to playing it. After all it is the highest rated video game of all time on metacritic, and I did really enjoy the few other zelda games I played (Twilight Princess and Link's Awakening). So when I played it, while the controls were tight, the level design was intuitive, there was plenty of side content and things to do which was great, and the world really felt populated and dynamic. Like I said, a good game. However the best game ever? Not even close, this game had some pretty glaring flaws, the pacing was slow at points, the story was dull, the characters came in two shades, either over the top and stupid or bland and uninteresting. The side quests were dull and often pointless, the combat was fairly repetitive and lacked variety and it all tied together to make a good, but limited game. Let me know if there's another reason for people being in love with this game other than nostalgia!

Games like twilight princess take so much from ocarina that they couldn't exist without it. OoT brought the series from top down adventure without a whole lot of character to 3d adventure. Along with Super Mario 64 they were the driving forces to push us into the 3d world for videogames. It's combat was revolutionary at the time, nothing else had done anything like it, something that they're still using for the 3d zeldas. It's world feels somewhat unpopulated because of the early restrictions of the system, but at the same time the world was huge. The map was so expansive for its time that really proved you could make a world that just felt gigantic.

It's popularity isn't merely for nostalgia, it's for being revolutionary. It was one of the big driving forces of gaming and all LoZ games that have come after have been almost carbon copies of the game, TP especially.
