You just had to be there. The epic factor is beyond technicalities.

it's funny because when wind waker came out everyone was talking about how much better OOT was in terms of gameplay. I never really got into OOT myself though, so i still prefer wind waker -- even though lots of the original Zelda fans hate it.

Ocarina of Time was just an experience. That's the best way I can put it. When I played this game, I had a friend who would get mad if I played while he wasnt' there to watch because even though he wasn't into playing video games he said watching this game was better than watching any movie.

Nintendo really screwed up after this game when the went to Wind Waker. They made it look like a little kid's game. In my opinion the graphics, design, and gameplay all took a major step backwards. Majora's Mask had the same basic design and gameplay, but the story just wasn't as good.

what does the artistic style have anything to do with how the game is? the graphics and presentation on Wind Waker were marvelous and it was a good story to boot. I cant see why people still say this. This is the problem with the american demographic and why we cant get any creative games here in america.

On my opinion The Legend of Zelda is one of the best since its pack with thrill. The control system is good that’s one thing that I’ve notice with games nowadays it’s that they find it hard to freely deliver the characters movement in terms of control and Graphically, Ocarina of Time is awesome. I appreciate the thinking game within, solving puzzle. Zelda is altogether beautifully put in.
