I'm a big fan of 3D graphics, but comparing OoT's graphics to TP's I don't have any problem with either. As long as it's 3D and nicely textured, with smooth animations, I don't ask for more. So I wouldn't take any points away from OoT for graphics, even if they look a little polygonal by today's standards.

Most of the enemies in OoT were pretty simple really. @PrincessLinara, if you haven't played ALTTP, the wallmasters there make these seem like a piece of cake. At least in OoT once you kill it it stays dead!

OoT overall is just an unbelievable game. But, to be fair, I'll list ten problems with it:
1) Navi can be annoying at times
2) Too easy to earn rupees
3) The A-button means both action, and talk, so if you're next to an NPC it's not possible to backflip or roll. This makes it hard to jump off of certain towers and buildings
4) a bug in the game makes it impossible to get one of the deku nut upgrades if you've ever become an adult
5) enemies do almost no damage to you, even before you get the rings around your hearts
6) I don't like that it records the number of times you've died, because any accident that happens, i.e. forgetting to pause the game will permanently be recorded
7) are all the mario easter eggs really necessary?
8) I wasn't too big on the zora-human love angle with ruto. I mean, she's a fish... but w/e I guess
9) Kind of disappointing that Link surrenders helplessly to the Gerudo guards. Some ToC....
10) you can skip the whole Bottom of the Well if you just drain the water and immediately fight the boss. You don't need to collect a single key. That's just bad dungeon design

I'm sure alot of people will disagree with me on those, I don't mind. Overall, I would give it 10/10. Those little things don't detract from the game as a whole, it had a great story, gameplay, action, enemies, puzzles, just everything. Other than my favorite MM, best game ever!
