A lot of people would say Final Fantasy 7.
That only shows that a lot of people are out of their freaking minds.

That's cute.Ocarina of Time isn't even a top five Zelda game.
Many lives were lost in the great Link vs. Cloud GameFAQs battles over the years.Do Ocarina and FF7 get so much hate for being popular? I don't get it, both of them are brilliant games that are worthy of being praised as some of the best of all time.

People still think this?
It's certainly the biggest groundbreaker of its generation, but it's far from the best game of all time. It's incredibly easy to argue other better games (let alone other Zelda games) before and after OoT's initial impact. Besides which, we talking 3D adventure games, or just games in general?
I find those games way too boring and the pacing too slow. For me, the best Zelda games are the first two games.
It pretty much became casual oriented walk in parks afterwards.
everything huhNah, For everything Ocarina of Time did, Twilight Princess did it way better.
I don't think A Link To The Past has been topped yet though.

I'm sure it was amazing back in the day, but like most games from that era the technical aspects haven't aged well at all. I think the best game of all time should look and feel as good today as it did at the time of release.

Best game ever? Kinda hard to say, what with Super Mario Galaxy existing, but it (along with LttP) is definitely my favorite Zelda, by far.
Yeah Chrono trigger is timeless while OoT has some elements that haven't aged well like the big empty Hyrule Field. Obviously in 97/98 when it was new that shit was mind blowing, now its just needlessly big and empty.
Chrono trigger.
Fight me
Well I did play it again a few weeks a go and I will say I think (since I will need to replay those too in order to see if my memories of them hold up) the later three 3D Mario titles did improve upon it. It's a good game, but there are some niggles that have become more apparent when we have other similar games to compare it to.I'm sure we'll have people saying Galaxy has aged in about 10 years. People love to say things have aged.
Pretty much found myself agreeing with this.I'd say the 3DS version's metacritic score of 94 is more apt today than the 99 score which is approaching 20 years old at this point. The fact it's still over 90 does show that it has aged well, but the hype of being the first ever 3D Zelda has settled at this point.
I played OoT proper on the Wind Waker bonus disc, before then I'd only played it at friend's so never really got far, and I was rather down on it. For years I considered it overhyped, but in the back of my mind I was cautious that I had perhaps let the hype cloud my opinion. Come the 3DS release I decided to go in with an open mind and just enjoy it for what it is and as a result I had a much better time. I wasn't rushing through just to finish it and got more from it.
What OoT has over the other 3D Zeldas is that it does little wrong. It's the competent Zelda. The other titles excel in other areas (MM for story, WW for exploration, TP for dungeons, SS for gameplay for some general examples) but are hampered in others. OoT may never reach those heights, but at the same time there's very little really wrong with it. It's a good all around package and that's why I think its held up.
Best game ever delves far too much into personal opinions, but OoT is indeed worthy of its praises and I say this as someone who for years almost hated on it.
Opinions and all, but from my point of view, I'd say it was topped almost immediately by Link's Awakening, and continued to be comfortably topped by every subsequent Zelda release since.I don't think A Link To The Past has been topped yet though.
which egoraptor details here in an excellent analysis.
You need to try 7 times.Always bored the shit out of me. Tried playing through it about 5 times and always lost interest. Truly the most overrated game.

It's at least a top seven Zelda thoOcarina of Time isn't even a top five Zelda game.
