also i can't go w/o mentioning ocarina of time,which still remains one of the biggest let downs i've ever experienced
Really? How come?

i had massive expectations from childhood and from the internet later on clamoring it as the best game of all timeReally? How come?
That's a shame. If you'd played it closer to when it came out, everything would have felt so new. I imagine it only felt basic when you did play it because it practically invented half the 3D adventure genre staples. Movement, control scheme, menu design, item design, level/town design, circumstantial commands… pretty much all of it was new when they made OoT. But by modern standards, it's slow and clunky. Such a pity...i had massive expectations from childhood and from the internet later on clamoring it as the best game of all time
then when i actually played the game,it was just.....basic
i didn't hate the game,but b/c i had already played and beaten wind waker and twilight princess prior,ocarina of time to me was simply not as good
When I heard you got to be a wolf, I was really excited because I thought they'd give you a complex moveset like Link has. All the types of slashes and techniques… I thought there'd be lots of cool attacks. Instead it just became "hold Z, hit A repeatedly. Fall off. Repeat." Was a letdown. But I wouldn't call it a negative experience.I'm not sure on what the general census is on the wolf link segments of Twilight Princess, but I always felt it was pretty gimmicky. It felt so separate to everything else I did in the game and just couldn't get into it. I mean, the segments weren't boring or anything, I just don't think they fit in well enough in context to everything else in the game. If I wanted to run around in a game as a wolf, I would just play Okami.
even so,my main issue was people clamoring it as the best game ever made well over 10 years after it was released, i understand all the praise it received at the time it came out,but their fanboyism really affected my experience b/c i thought wind waker and twilight princess were amazing,but if people are saying that ocarina is the best,then man i must be really missing outThat's a shame.

That's not really anyone's fault, people were just passionate about this game.even so,my main issue was people clamoring it as the best game ever made well over 10 years after it was released, i understand all the praise it received at the time it came out,but their fanboyism really affected my experience b/c i thought wind waker and twilight princess were amazing,but if people are saying that ocarina is the best,then man i must be really missing out
hence the most disappointing game i've played thus far
I think the problem with Ocarina of Time is that it's not so much the best game as it's just not really comparable to anything. It's just the 'First' of a lot of things, and it sits at a unique pinnacle of gaming history (the true birth of 3D console gaming) that the criticisms that can be levied against it now just didn't even exist back in its heyday. Like the first Legend of Zelda, the quality of all the games that come afterwards is there only because Ocarina of Time was what it was. They had time to refine and reiterate the controls, gameplay, and design styles that were started there.even so,my main issue was people clamoring it as the best game ever made well over 10 years after it was released, i understand all the praise it received at the time it came out,but their fanboyism really affected my experience b/c i thought wind waker and twilight princess were amazing,but if people are saying that ocarina is the best,then man i must be really missing out

well yeah there's that,guess i was pretty much set up to be disappointed in the game,but the praise certainly didn't helpThat's not really anyone's fault, people were just passionate about this game.
