I'll bet Link smells of pine and cinnamon.
I love 3D and 2D Zeldas for different reasons. I wonder what the NX means for 2D Zelda going forward?
Also Link's Awakening is the best 2D Zelda.
It's no Majora's Mask.
It's not even a candidate, hundreds of better games out there. Played it recently on 3DS, pretty baffled by the praise some folks give it.
See, this is where personal tastes and quality assessments get tangled up and make it possible for the latter to be utterly wrong. You can say you like hundreds of games above OoT, and I personally probably wouln't place it among my top ten (or even consider it the best Zelda); but asserting there are hundreds of games that are objectively better than OoT is, simply put, as wrong as saying the same thing of Citizen Kane or the Godfather. At some point you step way beyond the fuzzily defined limits between opinion and reality, and simply display an astounding lack of taste and appreciation, not of what appeals to you, but of what is actually masterfully crafted.
Trying to trick people with your thread title isn't cool.
It's no secret people still adore OoT, especially on gaf. Personally, I prefer MM and WW to it.
Super Metroid, Symphony of the Night, Doom, Chrono Trigger, Link to the Past, etc. None were competition?It was absolutely the best game of all time when it was released. The only real contender was MGS.
Nowadays though, it's been surpassed, both by other series and other Zelda games.

how can a game that runs at like 20fps be the greatest of all time?
i'm not a huge fan of the souls series, but i'd accept dark souls as an alternative
How appropriate!
Also, we're almost at the 7th page!
20fps is never appropriate throughout the majority of the experience. i don't recall dark souls being 20fps for the whole game. i did play it on pc though so maybe the console version is always 20fps in which i will accept Wrath of the Lich King as the best game
This x7. For example, I'm not terribly keen on Super Mario 64, for reasons I won't go into detail here. That isn't to say that I HATE the game; I just prefer so many other Mario titles. That said, I can still look at the game and can appreciate what it did and how it impacted the industry. The same can be applied to Ocarina of Time. It was a technical marvel that people thought couldn't be done on that type of hardware at the time. Plus it helps that it still holds up and received an excellent 3DS version.See, this is where personal tastes and quality assessments get tangled up and make it possible for the latter to be utterly wrong.

18 year old game when 3D game into was just starting. 20fps was fine at the time.
