likes and dislikes about OoT

[zeldamaster666]

i liked the controls, enemies(such as dead hand and others), storyline


i disliked the graphics and thats about all

[Skeletonband]

Um...that's great and all but you should think of what else to put here. Exactly why you hate certain enemies and why you hate the graphics...sure they're not exactly great in this time but they were great then.

And do you want other people to discuss the game here?

[PrincessLinara]

I think the graphics are the downside by today's standards. Back when it first came it, they were pretty amazing. I really can't see any other real dislike in OoT. I pretty much like everything about it. I love the characters and the monsters and the dungeons. They were all great. =]

[Knightmare_63]

I loved being able to eride a horse,
but I hated redeads or hearing my beloved scream in pain.....

[xlr8]

I honestly liked mostly everything....except for those redeads and floormasters. they would drop down out of nowhere and kill you! Dont get me started on the re deads. They have freaky faces, wrap their arms around you, and start sucking your hearts out.(gross)

[Knightmare_63]

OMG don't remind me!!!

[PrincessLinara]

Oh yes...the wallmasters. My mortal enemies...god those things used to stay scaring me. I hated that. I would feel so stupid. lol

[Temple of Time]

Nothing really at all I dislike about the game. I know the graphics look a bit crap but it is an old game but an old game with decent game play. Many modern games don't seem to have this quality about them.

[MajorasWrath1]

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!

[DocStellar]

I loved the story/mystery. Controls mostly Z-Targeting and B as attack. The temples. How they put so much suspense in the last part of the game. I love the music.

The glitches. Barely any sidequests.

[SevenYears]

OoT is just getting more destroyed by the year with every new glitch.

There's the uber challenge, bottle adventure, out of bounds, swordless link, getting most of the adult items as a child, actually playing through the adult temples as a child and vice versa, the list goes on...

But I think this is a good thing, for those interested.

[Cronyne]

OOT is practically perfect. Full with epic battles and plots. My only hash is if I wanna fight a certain boss again I'll have to play through the game from the beginning...

[Ralphie]

I like almost everything in OoT, Aspeciely the story.. But here are the dislikes;

No power ups from medallions
Annoying owl(z)
All the walking back and forward!
You cannot use the triforce
Where is the light temple?
No costume or atleast cool sword gameplay. Just swing back and forward.

10/10 though

It's in the Sacred Realm, where the Temple of Time is in the main world.

But you get jumping slashes, stabs, vertical vs horizontal cuts, spin attacks, and sidesteps / backflips, rolls, etc. It may not have the secret moves from TP, but the fighting is more or less the same, and a big improvement over the 2D games

[Zayan]

What! OoT is yhe best game EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[sugarpoultry]

The puzzles can be.... a little too extreme. I had a hard time getting out of the shadow temple. >.>

[ZFG]

Dislikes:

-navi
-keapora geaboring
-can't skip long cutscenes

And I like everything else about it!

[Wolf_of_Shadows]

Likes: The game play and the sotry, SHADOW LINK!
Dislikes: NAVI! how you would always start in the korki villiage when you were a kid,

[Mat3280]

i likes the story line but i didnt like some of the monsters and some of the characters

[Dillon_Sommervold]

I liked everything about Ocarina of Time, and still do.

[izzii]

100% agreement. I don't know why people say they don't like the graphics they were the best possible when it was made.

The only other complaint is lack of character interaction and sub quests but I guess MM makes up for that (and then some )

[superbeast]

I like everything about Ocarina of Time except Tael!!!

[LordSothe]

Likes:
-The Final Battle
-Time travelling aspect was original (At the time) and well done
-Battles were more in-depth than in previous games
-Fishing Mini-game

Dislikes:
-Often overrated/Community won't move on
-Timeline split places too much emphasis on OoT
-Created the "Navi" character
-Dungeons and Bosses were too easy
-First Zelda game to reuse it's predeccesor's formula
-Imprisoning War was much less epic than it sounded in LttP

I've never palyed Majora's Mask (waiting for it be realesed on Virtual consul). However I know for sure Navi was the fairy in OoT and I beleive that Tatl not her brother Tael was the companion fairy in MM. (no offense).

Having only played LoZ (original) and AoL, OoT is unbelievable!!! My likes are too many to mention, but I concur with some that Navi is getting rather annoying at times! The constant reminding me that I must go somewhere when I'm on my own mission of Gold Skulltula hunting or Heart Piece hunting is quite irritating.

A quick question (sorry if this is the wrong forum)...... I'm currently still in the middle of the game (for the 1st time), & I am not looking for specific help; but, I have a general question. After gathering the 3 stones, and entering the Temple of Time (& subsequently becoming Adult Link), will I have the opportunity later to be young again? I didn't save the progress after the long sequence in the temple. My concern is that I might not be able to collect extra heart pieces that might be only available as Young Link.

If you can't answer this, then I understand. : )

Yeah, all you have to do is beat the Forest Temple, (wtf putting the sword back in turns you young again I'm confuzzled.)
