I never heard of rand-net modem cartridge, nor the video capture cartridge, but did know about most of the other factoids. I was sad that they never released Mega Drive in the US, but with only 6 titles I don't miss it.

It's crazy to think smartphones have way more graphics power and at least 60x as much ram. But what iOS or Android game comes close to Mario 64, DK64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or Conker's Bad Fur Day ?

I would say that it's popularity was based on the multiplayer. It was one of the first FPS games that had four player split screen multiplayer. For console players, there was nothing like it at the time. For a lot of people it was a system seller. I had friends who hardly ever played the single player, I never finished it. I was a hardcore PC player, but I owned a N64 for Goldeneye and The Ocarina of Time.

Thanks for the promote.

He's saying his exposure to the more refined version of OOT, Twilight Princess (and to lesser degree other modern Zelda games) made OOT just seem outdated to him.

People who were first exposed to OOT can't understand this position, as probably a lot feel OOT is a better game and that Twilight was a good copy but not great, even though it fixed a lot of the smaller issues.

Also OOT felt a lot more epic when it was released, both due to the current gens age back then and also just because back then it was epic in comparison to the games around it. Now it feels positively small and if you're going from modern games, back to old games, without a nostalgic experience to blend the flaws of time, you don't quite "get it" and would rather play the modern versions.

As he highlights, the Water Temple has some enigma as being brutal but I just played through it last night and he is pretty much bang on, it was hard for kids. I only played OOT when it came out so I had remembered nothing, it was brutally easy, I was actually kind of sad, I was some what looking forward to the hellish experience I remembered.

As I play OOT 3DS, I still think "Wow this really is the best game ever" but he still has very valid points.

Wait. Is he saying that he liked it, or that he didn't? I'm totally confused.

Doh! I was going to do that but you beat me to it by 17 minutes!>> ^Sarzy:

So this is what happens when you're bored: I decided to count the number of "beat me by X minutes!" comments on Zero Punctuation vids. 18 times (out of 203 that I counted). So, about 10 percent.

I took 10 days off work to play Ocarina of Time (previously loved LttP). It's the best game ever.

It's nice that Robin Williams called his daughter Zelda; but their description of the game in this ad is totally vacuous. "I liked the graphics; and you could push stuff around; and I liked the horse. The new one has better graphics. It looks sharper than before. Cutting grass and finding stuff! It's addicting!".

It's not consistently rated as the best game ever produced because you could push some blocks around. A few words about the story; the atmosphere; the adventure; the world; the characters; the grand scale; or even the music would have been nice.

Ocarina of Time is by far the greatest video game experience of my childhood. When you think about it, it really is the kids who manage to fully appreciate and enjoy them.

Ofcourse, like so many other kids my N64 was a HUGE distraction from my schoolwork, my parents would only ever let me play it on the weekends, tucking it away in the attic most weekdays. I eventually discovered where my little "lifesupport unit" (the nickname my sister had given my N64) was hidden with the help of my dad's stepladder. Once or twice I remember my Dad coming home early from work and sh*tting myself, frantically trying to tuck the bloody thing away before he made his way through the front door. Looking back on the experience, I suppose it only served to make Ocarina of time all the more exciting.
