Damn beaten by 14 minutes! : P

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.

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

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

Makes me wonder if he ever played even older Zelda games. Going back to older titles and finding out they were actually better (or just as good) than their modern versions is pretty common, especially for Nintendo games. I've never played the newer Zeldas (don't own a Wii) but I doubt they can hold up to even the old Gameboy Zelda; with its black & white visuals and minimalist approach it had more depth and quality to it than most modern games, of any genre.

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the more refined version of OOT, Twilight Princess (and to lesser degree other modern Zelda games) made OOT just seem outdated to him.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

Haha "90's polygon graphics looks like someone inflated their beach toys by farting at them". I am out of words for amazing! That really made me laugh profusely.
