"Can Ocarina of time be Defeated?"

As some people know in 2005 a new Legend of Zelda game will be released in the UK, many are wondering if it can become an even better game than the unforgettable Ocarina of time on the N64. This game sounds good and from what i've seen looks good but can it really become better than the Ocarina of Time?

you what?

OOT was NEVER overrated, your theory on FF7, I don't know where you got the idea about OOT being overrated.

How wrong you are!

FF7 and ocarina of time cannot be judged against one another as they are not of the same genre, and as logic dictates there is always someone who likes different combonations but with different opinions of both so they will never like them both the same. What i am saying is that since Ocatina of Time is an Adventure game, and what really is wierd is people thinking it's an RPG when what i think of rpg's are going round a world stopping evil and fighting random enemies and levelling up to become stronger, but where is all that in OoT? (expect travelling world stopping evil, coz that's in most games as well as rpg's) it's a plain old hack and slash adventure game with realtime battles instead of the tradional rpg turn-based fighting.

I agree with Mav.

Then get glasses.

The Wind Waker was a disappointment in my eyes.

Too many dull and repetitive sections.

You say that trekking got boring in OOT, what about blinking random battles in FF7??? *yawn* I love both games to bits, but they're different types of games really, both better in different ways.

well I doubt that would have been your opinion when it had first came out, it was the first ever 3D zelda and was so much of a hit because of that, and that then graphics usually meant a lot in many people's minds. but this is the time when we can creae games like zelda and play them anywhere and anytime due to advancing portable technology, so of course it doesn't look or feel absolutely great now because we've experienced so much better that we get to picky about what they used to be like.

You're right, Ocarina of Time only had 60 hours worth of gameplay, and compare that to giants like Luigi's Mansion then you can see how the game is far too short.

There is no way Final Fantasy beats the Zelda series, for one the Zelda series is far more accessable, the game is more fluid and runs faster than any RPG at that matter.

The graphics are too dark??? What couldn't you see the game??? Mate I think you need glasses, the game was filled with greens and blues, and the sunset over Hyrule was one of the most beautiful graphical effects of the last generation.

The game wasn't overrated, almost everyone loved it, it was huge, sprawling and with hundreds of things to do. The fishing game was uber popular and it was a mere small segment of the game.

Ocarina of Time introduced people to a world never experienced before, it didn't feel unfinished, it felt packed to the rafters. A Nintendo classic indeed.

As for "trecking around on a horse" that is probably the most laughable criticism ever.

Ocarina Of time is stupidly overated in my opinion. It was short, the graphics were too dark and the sound effects were awful. Why does Ninendo continually ruin their games with crap soundtracks and sound effects?, for example Mario Kart DD.

Final Fantasy 7 is way better than OOT. Ocarina Of Time just got really boring after a while, having to treck around on a crappy horse that didnt have the right control or anything. It just didnt seem much of a challenge, and the graphics were too dull, and there wasnt that "spark" in my mind. I dont know whether its just me who feels like this, but OOT is just an average game, it could have been so much better. A Link To The PAst was a much more polished game.

Yes, hold it under a lighter.
