It's nice that you can always count on certain things.
I wonder if Miyamoto knew the impact it would have. Hell, I wonder if a soul entering into a newborn baby on November 21, 1998, could have known growing up that their birthday coincided with the release of a game they would live to see adulthood before it was ever topped.
Seriously, no video game will ever be better than this.
Jackson Perez
So why did it receive the Greatest video game of all time title anyway?
Brandon Reed
It pioneered innovations across every genre in gaming, unified them into one solid and cohesive experience, laid the brickwork that all time-travel fiction since it has copied off, invented real-time generated cutscenes and facial animations, was the first mainstream GOAT to incorporate rumble as a game-changing mechanic, arguably the best looking game at the time of its release barring StarFox 64, introduced enemies with shifting battle phases (Stalfos), vehicular control over something that you mount and dismount in real-time and affects progression, and introduced the non-procedurally generated openworld genre in a practical way that no game has really tried to do since outside of maybe Majora's Mask.

>barring SF64
what? SF hit in 1997, OOT in 1998 your messed up bro
Caleb Adams
Yes, barring. As in WITH THE EXCEPTION OF StarFox 64.
I'm saying StarFox is arguably the best-looking game of fifth-gen.
Carter Roberts
It's not that good desu
Samuel Garcia
>I wonder if Miyamoto knew the impact it would have.
Probably not.
Jaxon King
Yes it is famalam. Your favorite game is not that good.
Angel Hernandez
Indeed it is not. Same can be said about your favorite game.
Caleb Sanders
What does an unrelated console have to do with the fact he directed the greatest game ever?
Nolan Cox
>Still thinking that OoT is the holy grail It received so much critical acclaim because there was a huge amount of hype and it translated Zelda into 3D. Since then it's become a vacuum of nostalgia and leftover praise that people fool themselves into believing it's better than it actually is.
Lucas Adams
I played it for the first time a few weeks ago, it's pretty meh
Aiden Ortiz
>enjoying Waiting: The Game
Grayson Hughes
I don't recall saying it did, nowhere in my post did I say "pic related".
Luis Ramirez
My favorite game is Ocarina of Time, so I can demonstrably prove by posts preceding yours that it is. Meanwhile you can't prove your favorite game isn't good because you're too scared to even mention it next to Ocarina of Time. What does that tell you about who is in denial here?
John Johnson
>mfw it's not even the best Zelda game.
Lincoln Foster
you never even played Star Fox Zero
James Roberts
Egoraptoooooor!
Camden Nguyen
Not in denial, just saying that it's not really that good in my opinion. No need to get this whiny. Then again >Sup Forums >not whiny
Hudson Edwards
You're doing it again. What does a game he didn't direct himself have to do with the greatest game of fifth and every gen after?
Chase Gutierrez
Metroid prime is the best zelda game
Gavin Wright
Except critics said it was the best game ever made on release, too.
Carson Harris

Cooper Hughes
Miyamoto, while involved, was not solely responsible for the best game of all time user.
Jason Bailey
Not that guy but, you must realize how stupid you sound.
I don't care that you like X game but, christ, man. Look at film "critics" 50 years ago. That was actually criticism. That's not what game "critics" do. Game "critics" are simply consumer reviewers. They're equal to consumer reports or blue book and they judge games based upon consumer value, not artistic merit or achievement.
Asher Mitchell
Not that guy, but >not artistic merit or achievement.
Both of which Ocarina of Time has more of, by leagues than any other video game.
Kayden Thomas
>arguably the best looking game at the time of its release barring StarFox 64
It's funny you say that because the people who worked on Star Fox 2 all agreed that the game looked muddy and ugly.
Carter Gray
>Both of which Ocarina of Time has more of, by leagues than any other video game.
Ocarina has everything but the fun factor
Daniel Price
That's literally what I said. They liked it because of the wow factor of playing Zelda in 3D and without a Zelda release in years. It's mediocre.
Aiden Garcia
I'm not even talking about that.
I'm just saying: When you use "game reviewers" to back up your opinions, especially game reviewers of the 90s, it sounds stupid to a lot of people, and it makes you look like a rube.
Easton Cruz
But they were unto something.
Name 1 game since 1998 that would make you say "OH Yeah, that could've been done without Ocarina of Time" Or "Yeah, Ocarina of Time has nothing on this brand of campaign."
You freaking can't. From best to worst, every game owes everything to OoT.
