Pay Tribute to the Greatest

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.

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
