It's a better game than almost everything I see on the catalogue list.
Today's standards actually make this game look even better, no micro transaction, no needless padding, no over bloated loot system, no social engineering dopamine chaser.

It's an 8/10 by modern standards. Some of the puzzles and world design show their age in a rudimentary sense, but by and large a good game design foundation holds water over the years and OoT still holds as a whole. Pacing's good, dungeons are good, combat shockingly holds up given its age, and the semi hands-off approach to the adult portion of the game if you really seek it out gives the game a tasteful degree of flexibility. Yeah, it's good.

While that may all be true, it is also equally true that BOTW/TOTK was mediocre and less memorable in comparison. I don't deny the nostalgia goggles, it was apart of most millennial childhoods in some way or another. Even if you didn't have a Nintendo console there's no way you didn't walk into an Electronics Boutique or EB Games store (or whatever your retailer was) and play it in an in store booth. Everybody experienced it and it set some standard for action adventure games back at that time. Whether we've all played better games since then is a different story, but it wasn't BOTW.

I will. No one under 30 gives half a fuck about OOT, they know about it like you or I know about the Magnavox Odyssey. Secondhand storytelling about a thing before their time. Making judgement calls based on something someone else said, regurgitating old opinions.

If you played OOT with a big ass N64 controller in your hands, you don't really need to argue how amazing it was, you know. We all know. Nothing touched OOT for years. There wasn't even 3D action-adventure game competition. Nothing with an open, explorable world like that. Only Majora's Mask and that was more or less a sequel.

Some of these are kind of reaching. Weight mechanics... really? Oh wait there actually was a web you jumped from a height into so that point is moot already. Or if you mean it wasn't explained, jumping off was literally all you could do. This is why modern gamers are made fun of for needing their hands held for everything.

Item upgrades are standard even in today's games.

It wasn't button mash combat, it was reflex combat. Generally you had to figure out whether to block/avoid and the right time to strike. It wasn't overly difficult but what Zelda is?

Camera issues were a thing in early 3D gaming, but OOT did actually mostly fix the problem Mario 64 introduces with a simple solution, press Z to snap the camera behind Link. It was effective and made the game perfectly playable. Yes it could be improved on, and was. Z button snap remains in Zelda to this day though which is a testament to how good an addition it was.

Backtracking is a foreign concept for modern gaming, but Zelda has always been about exploration. Yes going back to Saria so early was a weird thing, and she probably should have just taught you the song as you left the Forest, but that would add to your cutscene problem.

Zelda can have many types of dungeons, it doesn't matter if some are linear and some aren't. You're supposed to be exploring ancient ruins. You make the same complaints about dungeons being too similar in modern Zelda.

Not sure what you're referring to with the bottles.

Pointless NPC's are a thing today, and are a much bigger issue than they were in OOT.

Honestly this argument will go on forever. Most your issues are with the game's technological stage or a perception the problems no longer exist in modern gaming when they do. We just go round in circles arguing the same points.

Returning to saria when you do makes more sense when you remember that people werent following a guide through this game back then, kids liked to explore.

items dont require reflexes
blocking doesnt require reflexes
you have ample opportunity to take your turn and get hits in. the timing is not very tight at all.

arguing that "wait... attack" is good and not an unengaging time waste, unironically proves arin hanson correct. "um actually, just use items! you dont have to wait" is usually the attempted counter argument against his point in the video that mind breaks you faggots so hard, but since nobody brought him up, you fell right into the truth of it: your primary weapon is bad and boring to use.

give oot zealots enough time, and they'll contradict themselves just fine.

You're missing my point with the camera. Mario 64 introduced essentially the template for modern 3D gaming, and even then the camera being janky and getting stuck was a problem, and C-buttons weren't enough to always fix it.
OOT came out and directly addressed that problem with a very effective solution with the Z-button snap.
Yes no shit it was improved on further after that mostly with the introduction of a second stick, but my point is at the time, they did do something about it and even today Zelda and other modern games have the camera snap option because it was such a good addition to camera controls.It's not fair to shit on OOT because it lacks something that wasn't invented yet. Hell there are versions of the game that do have it anyway nowadays.

Why talk about something you weren't around for?

/v/ used to be a heavily PC board whose favorite games were complex and required either reflexes or actual use of your brain, and had serious stories you could get immersed in, OoT was a braindead simple children's console game where every interaction was a context button and the story was a milquetoast Disney ripoff

There are several item puzzles that require reflexes, one where you have to hook both up a waterfall quickly as an example. That is a bald faced lie.
You don't have to block Wolfos, go play the game because you clearly do not even understand the enemy at all. Your "wait... attack" tactic won't even work because they won't even take a swing at you until you engage with them. There's no item required. Something you and Arin have in common at least is that you're both idiots talking out of your own asses.

except the enemy provides zero threat, while having full defense against your primary weapon. the only proactive option is to use items. otherwise you just stare at each other while nothing happens. not to mention how its shitty 1 on 1 fights, where if another one exists, it just hangs back doing extra nothing. other games let you be proactive. other games have the enemies actually engage you with attacks (and often with a variety of attacks). other games have them actually react to the player's actions, and in varying ways.

An underage person's argument, when you get older you realize influence is a shit metric since it's not merit based and influential things are overwhelmingly pushed onto everyone using money

You can do something revolutionary and have it not catch on because you're not popular enough or didn't have enough of a marketing budget, a bigger company than you with a more popular IP can repeat it years later and suddenly they're "influential"

When you get older you see it happen again and again, influence is more of a measure of how many people want to hitch a ride on that big marketing budget rather than quality or merit

Majora's Mask is a much better candidate, though I'd say that isn't high art either, but it is art.
Majoras Mask does a much better job with themes, tone, atmosphere, characters and unlike most "art" games it actually uses the game mechanics (time loop) to contribute to the story itself.
OoT is just a lot more basic in these respects. It would be like calling Star Wars IV high art. It's great, but its commercial and relatively simple with not a whole lot to say. The game mechanics themselves don't contribute often to the artistic message.
It's fair to call OoT a masterpiece, but not high art

unless you can define high art in a way that would satisfy everyone (which is impossible) and include everything that would be universally agreed to be high art then this argument is pointless. If you do find a definition generic enough that can be agreed on by everyone, then oot will qualify, too, unless you for some reason add some exclusionary stipulation to the definition.

i won't argue if something is or isn't "high art" before we define what that is first. You'll find that making that definition is harder than deciding what belongs to it.

High art to me is about the message or the feelings the story and themes of a piece are conveying. This disqualifies the vast majority of games because games are inherently made for commercial purposes and their stories are deliberately kept simple and unchallenging because the art aspect of the product is not the sole or even main focus.
Slapping the term High art onto a game as a compliment about its mechanical design is misleading to do. You can say a good game like that is a masterpiece in game design specifically though. As you say this is still relatively nebulous so you could find exceptions or examples worthy of debate.

Yeah whatever sure, but, it’s a video game for children… and influence may not indicate quality but it paves the road for improvements, technological shit gets better on a technological level, naturally. The model T is still instrumental in pioneering the mass production of automobiles, but take the McLaren F1, a performance supercar from the early 1990s, it was once the fastest car in the world, and is still the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world. But it was made with a very autistic vision in which every part of the car was designed to make a race car that could also be comfortable, it mostly succeeded. Compared to supercars of today it definitely in many fields performance and practicality primarily, but surprisingly can still contend in others (handling in some cases, aesthetics, top speed in some cases, the actual experience of driving). But I can imagine the newer cars weren’t as intricately made as the F1. Basically what I’m saying is, regardless of the quality of something, i think people genuinely enjoy things more on a conceptual level, because it was forward thinking. The same likely applies to ocarina of time. And It’s the McLaren F1 of vidya (perhaps nowhere near as good as the F1 but you get it) and Zelda 1 is better in my opinion anyway, the game barely aged in my opinion. Maybe it’s because it was my first game so I have nostalgia bias, but I can play it now and still have a blast!

Hmmm idk OP I played it after botw and totk, I found it to be far more focused and “complete”. With an ambiance that no subsequent Zelda could replicate, except maybe Majora’s Mask. If you like good level design and gimmicks that don’t get hackneyed quickly then you’re in for a great time, even if it’s not the best game ever which is CHADow of the Colossus btw.

Its content for the sake of content. Its great in the sense that its MORE Fallout, but think about the dungeons and the sorts of meaningful interactions in the game. I'll give it that you get some peak reactivity toward the end at least - no two playthroughs ever have the same wasteland by the time you're done, between how you handle New Reno and connected towns especially. But FO1 is a hyper focused experience in contrast. More micro-level player choice. I'll call it preference, though. I don't think you're dumb or wrong for disagreeing.

HOWEVER. FO:NV did objectively do 2's formula, but better. Not even my favorite CRPG but I don't see how anyone could argue NV has less agency or reactivity.

The overarching genre is definitely the same. You're just being blinded by the perspective shift. NV might LOOK like a dungeon crawler but it really is the furthest thing from in actual construction. NV has the classic "hitchhiker going town to town solving local multiple choice problems" formula that CRPGs carved for themselves and fewer actual dungeon crawls than 2.

You can absolutely compare 2 and NV by the way they set up modular problem hubs, how attached hubs react to which problems you solve and how, etc. You don't know how bad I wish Bethesda had taken TES down that path instead of "collect quest for dungeon, do the dungeon to get the thing, collect reward, repeat" formula.

Along with Mario 64, it shaped the 3D game world and specifically set the standard for what adventure games should be. Obviously you will never know because you've always lived in the gaming world that OOT created. Millennials managed to be smack-bang in the middle of the largest evolution of video games in history. fast forward to current year and there has been barely any innovation at all over the past 10 years, the industry feels not just stale, but actually in decline.

>but its not that way with oot!
yes, your nostalgia and familiarity bias treat it differently. the level of comfort you've associated it in your brain is not the same feeling that you get from modern games. you probably dont even realize that you're doing it.

but the point is that you're incapable of actually analyzing anything. you're trying to compare how modern games make you feel instead of looking at anything they do objectively, and you're incapable of taking an objective look at oot because you couldnt POSSIBLY dissociate the good feelings it gives you.

>you just illustrate that you're jaded and incapable of adapting by complaining about irrelevant shit like "development cycles".
? What is jaded or especially "irrelevant" about criticizing long development cycles? Having company drop tens if not hundreds of millions on development on top of constant crunching only to push out a game with mtx and glitches isn't a good thing and should be criticized. It's kinda ridiculous to have wait for a new game only to pay $70 or $80 plus Season Pass and pre-order DLC on things that were usually unlockable in older games.
>but hyping up oot as something special with its myriad of glitches and shitty fps is laughable.
Where am I hyping it up? It has flaws duh but it's a complete game without mtx or dlc, gaas always-online singleplayer, or social engineered design for player addiction.
That is automatically better, but I could also point the smaller things such as same looking slightly transparent UIs or musical scores being constantly focused on live orchestra or graphics chasing realism with more focus on shit like horse balls and peach fuzz to waste that long development cycle and gamebreaking glitches/crashes.
Look at something like BG3 at launch. It kept crashing and barely running properly and needed to have patches still this year to run like it was supposed to. ffs it was on EA and got player feedback&data it STILL had issues on launch.
And won GOTY despite crashing on launch for many. I like the game but it's still unacceptable.

Super Metroid wasn't that deep. You pointed your gun to one of 8 directions and jumped around.
Honestly, the fact you think Metroid even needing some "action game elements" is kinda fucking retarded. Not everything needs deep action and combat for adventure. I think you would enjoy post-SotN 2D Castlevania more than Metroid games if you think Metroidvania needs action and combat so much.
Metroid is more about exploration and atmosphere and adventure. Finding unlocks/keys to progress, not just new combat abilities even when those are nice. You want missiles in Super Metroid primarly so you can open a new kind of door, not because you think about your dps output.

I played it for the first time recently on PC with Ship of Harkinian, and I enjoyed it a lot.
You are right though about nostalgia, the game is fantastic, but some dudes suck it off like its cum cures cancer. I have a theory that any Nintendo fan above the age of 28 was neglected/abused, and Nintendo was the only positive thing in their life at the time, so they have a weird imprinted relationship with it.

BotW suffers from
>needless padding(shrines, koroks, breaking weapons)
>social engineering dopamine chaser(said shrines and koroks for constant meaningless rewards for monkey brain go ook-ook aak)
Honestly, the few first hours of BotW is amazing but when you realize that the cool weapon you found is gonna break, and that all the Korok seed challenges are on the level of "lift rock", "shoot moving targets", "jump into a circle", it loses all it's magic quickly.
Why adventure anywhere when at best you find a shrine? My favorite part was characters, but after you meet them then that's it.
It suffers from the same problem other open world games suffer from
>Can't have important unlocks as it takes from freedom and would break balance
>Can't have too much effort put on any place as player might miss it
>Balance is most likely difficulty scaling
>Story has to be told in random pieces without clear progression(this is a thing some games avoid, but BotW/TotK sure doesn't outside few first hours)
It doesn't feel like an adventure. Just more of a playground where you fo whatever you feel like without any meaningful goal or discoveries.
Cool graveyard? Maybe you'll find a tomb or some cool magical staff or-
Nah, there's few Korok seed and puzzle for literal children for a shrine(or the puzzle with motion control gimmicks inside the shrine)
Dense jungle area? Maybe there's a small cave behind bushes with mini challenges an-
Few Korok seeds and a same looking shrine with medium challenge robot(your hammer 4-shots it because you were supposed to be here earlier).
Outside of desert with fun miniboss(whose music reminded me of Crash Bandicoot) there is nothing to discover. If I already know what I'm gonna find, is it even an adventure?

Yeah you have prob seen snoys or retards cry about BotW already but I wanna like BotW and TotK more. Clearly it has something when people rate it 10/10 but I just can't see it. TP was more fun and epic adventure with a cool sidekick.

Is there 900 of those like in BotW's Korok seeds? Or holes like shrines?
I do disagree with the other anon, but it was nice to find some and they were audio based finds.
But compare the BotW dungeons and shrines to OoT dungeons and mini dungeons. 4 BotW dungeons that look the same and has same looking boss. Then 120 same looking shrines.
Vs
8 different dungeons and 2 mini dungeons(3 if you count Gerudo dungeon for ice arrow, a permanent unlock).

But I think you will defend the like 50 "lift rock" Koroks(not to mention thd "press A on sparkling effect" Koroks) as better than hunting Gold Skulltulas.
Not saying your example is masterclass but it's like one of the first hole secrets you find with rumble(if I remember right).

No, too much *repetitive* content.
See, finding a random hole on ground for 8th time isn't bad, because you don't know what you'll find. Be it another Skulltula or maybe chest of rupees etc.
Finding 37th rock to lift, or 24th "put rock here", or 17th hop to pool for Korok seed is repetitive. And it isn't just that, but the fact YOU KNOW instantly what the reward is. See a lone rock? Korok. See a circle of rocks with one missing? Korok. See a boulder&chain? Korok.
Same with shrines. At best you get a small thing you can sell for arrows or armor piece you have to spend resources to buff a fuckton so enemies do only one(1) heart of damage to you(great damage/armor system btw), but otherwise it's always ¼th of a heart/stamina container. In same looking place with a challenge so easy it might as well just skip the bullshit and give you the reward before entering.
Seriously, what's the point of entering a shrine only to get the reward instantly?

stupid example, racing ingo in OOT with epona is a joke, racing the gorman brothers in majoras has actual obstacles and shit and its not just about outrunning them, its a small difference but it really adds, or how the song of storms is not just created with a silly time loop but its a song composed by the tears and anger of a guy that got tricked
