Light world and dark world is cooler than kid and adult.

The Lost Woods is the coolest place for the master sword.

Quake, Bombos and Ether are more awesome than Din's Fire, Farore's Wind and Nayru's Love.

Actually getting the Triforce is cooler than it being in your hand.

MM is very good too but that horrible time clock system hurt it and the story wasn't as good as OoT

Nah, pretty much every game has improved on something from OoT in some way.

Majoras Mask had a more believable world

Wind Waker had better music

Twilight Princess had better graphics and combat

Okay, not Skyward Sword, that sucked

Breath of the Wild had way more re play ability.

I mean, I guess if you're just looking for the "jack of all trades" then yeah OoT is goat. At least as far as the 3D games are concerned.

The problem with Zelda is that every game improved on Ocarina of Time greatly, but also always seemed to have a flaw or be missing "something". That je ne sais quoi if you will.

Where as Ocarina of Time was just *perfect* at the time. It's the benefit of being the introduction into 3D, sure, but it's how people feel in their hearts.

It's the same thing that follows San Andreas, IMO. The game was just perfect at the time for so many people. Yeah, GTA IV/GTA V are obviously an improvement, but with costs.

Hell no. That moment in OoT where you first wake up as Adult Link and step outside and was like '.....the fuck?' then going to Ganon's castle without the bridge and looking up....boom. That feeling of dread and awe and desolate-apocalypse-emptiness was amazing.

Gta IV was most certainly not an improvement over SA in any way shape or form except for the graphics.

OoT is so fucking outdated. It's great for its time but literally every 3D Zelda that came after was a direct upgrade to OoT. OoT has outdated combat, bland and bleak overworld, not even an attempt at storytelling, average dungeon design (some with really annoying escort missions or really bland and basic structure)

Outside nostalgia, one of the few reasons why it's considered relevant is just how fucking glitchy it can be, which makes for exciting speedruns

Nah. Link to the Past, A Link Between Worlds, Minish Cap, Wind Waker, and Breath of the Wild are all better, and possibly more.

You have an argument that it was the most revolutionary game in the series, but I'd argue that a whole lot of the game is outdated by today's standards and what still works is pretty clunky as well. The aforementioned 2D games have that down to a science, while the aforementioned 3D games all made gigantic improvements in every area expect possibly dungeon design.

Not enough islands that matter in Wind Waker. It's funny for people to complain about Hyrule field feeling empty and then praising WW for more than story and lasting visual appeal.

I'll admit the sailing could be boring and some islands just filled the map out (like even BotW) but Christ OoT and MM graphics are just "gouge your eyes out" bad. And fuck that stupid Jabu-Jabu escort mission. I think people that praise it mostly remember adult Link. Which was much better. If you want to see characters made out of shipping boxes. At least WW's style of graphics stand the test of time over others.
