>>717792870in shrot, jimi hendrix revolutionized the guitar. he was the forefather of modern day rock and roll (alongside other pioneers at the time like led zeppelin). he was one of the first to use the wah wah pedal and other effects, which in turn inspired a new generation (the likes of tom morello of rage against the machine and others). the comparison is warranted, as it's common knowledge that ocarina of time revolutionized 3D action game combat with its z-targeting system, which went on to inspire the likes of DMC and later dark souls.
or so it goes, of course you'll no doubt find autists who want to challenge that notion but this is generally accepted as fact. jimi hendrix is to the guitar as ocarina of time is to 3D action adventure games with a focus on combat.
