I already gave an excuse as to why I have never played HL1. I dont have a PC/dont have bootcamp. I would love to play it and will eventually. I just dont have the means to do so at the moment.

Considering that HL > HL2, you don't sound like a real Half-Life fanatic.
I'll admit that some temples share similar themes (water, desert, forest) and items... And I believe they both contain the same number of them...
But dungeon structure? Nearly identical?
What I thought. Sure, it uses the 3+7 structure, but that's about it. It's not a 3D version of ALttP.
Maybe if you were referring to the story, but you weren't.
Argh, now I want to play it again. I have little to nothing to do in the next days, maybe I'll get myself lost in this game again (Master's Quest).

I am finding a way to play, its just takes time and money. Ive already bought Leopard for the Mac so I can run bootcamp now. I just need to buy windows XP, which is costs more money than what I have at the moment. Speaking of which, any suggestions as to which Windows I should buy? Ive been on a Mac my entire life at home so I dont know to much about Windows or how well it runs on Macs.

I use this on my Mac. Its a slimmed down version of XP without all the crap. And its fits on a single CD so you just burn it to a CD after you've downloaded it. Works flawlessly.
I use it to reformat my parent's old Dell also.

Not sure the rule on talking about this shall speak with bond, but removed the link.

of course...the original XP fit on one disc as well
and unless you bought a dell or HP pc loaded with crapware, windows xp is a lite os
but nevermind those details
anyway, XP is rock solid and is probably the "best" to bootcamp with
if you have 4gigs of ram, a true dual core processor, and a new video card, you're better of with vista. but can you do vista on mac? hmm, seems like an irrelevant question anyway.
black mesa: source might be of interest to some of you half-life fans, it's a remake of source all redone (which is going to be compared to half-life: source no doubt)

Light World-Dark World was the same as Young Link-Adult Link too.
Oh, and the back and forth lightning bolt thing against Ganondorf is just a 3D version of the same thing you did against Agahnim in LttP.
The story does take from LttP, but only about 1/3-1/4 of it.
I've just entered the second dungeon, Dodongo's Cavern. The story/graphics are much better than I remembered, but the fighting is a bit clumsy. L-targetting doesn't work as good as in TWW/TP and there aren't enough sword moves.
Great game. I can't believe I've only played this 1.5 times (the 0.5 was a joint-venture with my brother).

You know....I hate to say it, but I don't think OoT is the greatest. It's a really good game, yes. I love it. But it is not the greatest.
I believe it's only deemed so amazing because of what I call the FF7 effect. The first game in a loved series on a new system.
I mean, face it. The OoT storyline is pretty basic of a Zelda game. It's what you'd expect. It's just that before the game was entirely different.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
Its hard to call a game the greatest of all time, simply because console games in general don't stand the test of time, especially in the old convert to 3D ages.
However, I'll say for its time period, and how much it raised the bar at its time, its easily the greatest game of all time in my book. That game alone redefined how good I thought a 3D RPG/Adventure game could be. Wind Waker and Majora's Mask were good, but OoT introduced the award winning formula.
If we're talking greatest game series... My MGS fanboyism won't allow me to say its the best. :P
