That's subjective opinion. I think Ocarina Of Time is a great Zelda game, but A Link To The Past is the best game in the series. I've yet to see any Zelda game top it.

It is one of the best games ever made. A Link to the Past is one heck of a game too.

But in my honest opinion, A Link to the Past remade in 3D, but with the heart peices, blue rod, and magic cape hidde in different spots would be hands down the best game ever.

If it was the only game on the planet it would be. If folks only play you don't play games of any other genre it may be. The whole idea of any game being classified as "The greatest game ever" is absurd.

I'd say so. Sure it's not my current favorite anymore, but favorites change and it certainly was at one point. I don't think that any game has had such a huge impression on such a large amount of people. Also, after playing the 3DS version I was amazed at how well the game has aged. The game is still amazing by today's standards.

Best ever probably not. One of the best I'd say yes. Perfect scores are bs since that would imply absolute perfection and nothing in this world is truly perfect.

While this is obviously subjective, it's definitely one of them. Zelda: Ocarana of Time, Zelda: a Link To The Past, Street Fighter 2, Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil 2 are definitely on par with one another in my book. All classic games I could never praise enough.

It's a matter of opinion, it's not even in my top 20 fav games of all time and I actually prefer Skyward Sword and MM over Oot.

I think the very fact that this is even considered a legitimate question about 13 years after its release says something.

Of course its subjective, but in my opinion it is the greatest game of all time. The gameplay, dungeons, music. All of it perfect (water temple excluded ugh..).

There are many games that I have played that have come close and for a time have probably risen above OOT, but when the hype for those games eventually goes away Ocarina of Time always returns to the podium. But thats just my opinion, I wouldnt go out and preach that its the best or anything.

Here is the right answer. OOT is an amazing game, one of the best Zelda games, one of the best N64 games, one of the best Action Adventure or all time, but it is just one of the best. there are other games out there and i wouldnt even say its the best zelda. After playing Skyward Sword, that is the best zelda game ever.(and ive played Link to past plenty of times but it is absurd to think that nintendo hasnt made a better game then its 20year old SNES version)

No. There are plenty of better options.

It was an outstanding game for its time, but it hasn't aged well. It's still a good game.

My personal favorite game of all time is Tales of the Abyss. Why someone would dislike that game is beyond me.

Yes, people being able to play the same games and come to different conclusions is just so outrageously absurd. It's like they think they get to have opinions or something. I call shenanigans!

Isn't that the one coming to 3DS? I'm buying that, and hoping it's a far sight better than Tales of Symphonia, one of my least favorite JRPGs of all time, right up there with Ephemeral Phantasia.

I will never understadn how people like crap plots with running around in empty spaces with NPCS with no personality with a broken combat system, a been there done that time mechanic, repetitive dungeons, bad collisions, automated jumping which barely does what you want, etc. Maybe because it;s casual and the same people who like that game like COD.

TheEnd54321
"Got not gets" and there were hardly any damn reviews back then and that is why it stays on top which pisses me off to no end. Look at SMG and the 77 reviews sitting in the second spot all time. I am positive that if OOT had 77 reviews it would have been a hell of a lot lower scored.

Literally everything in OoT has been improved upon by other Zelda games. It isn't the greatest at anything anymore.

Um,no.

That's....ridiculous.

There are thousands and thousands of games around.

So it's impossible.

It's my favourite game of all time,and def. one of the most influential games from the 90s(and beyond)but it's not the single best game ever made.

That's subjective opinion. I think Ocarina Of Time is a great Zelda game, but A Link To The Past is the best game in the series. I've yet to see any Zelda game top it.

Metamania

LttP is my favorite Zelda game as well.

Ocarina of Time is certainly one of the best games of all time, and the definitive version of it is on 3DS, which automatically made that system a must buy for me.

Agreed, ALttP IMO is the best Zelda released yet.

turtlethetaffer

Lol, Majora's Mask was amazing but so many NPCs were just cut and paste from OoT.

There are a couple new NPCs like the mail guy and chick at the mayors office.

Majoras Mask basically only has one town and while I like it more there is less diversity of the cities.

Majoras Mask had less dungeons and the bosses were all easy except the ones in great bay temple (at first if you do not have bottles) and the last boss if you do not have all the masks.

How is Majora's mask so much better than OoT when so much is recycled?

The story is like a million times better, the atmosphere is insane, there are tons of sidequests, the side activities are more enjoyable, everything can be repeated (like if you like a sidequest you can repeat it as many times as you want), the overworld is more well designed and has more secrets...

Also, you know that most of the people are supposed to look like they're form OoT? Termina is a parallel universe to Hyrule, with same looking people but different personalities etc...

No. It WAS the greatest game ever created. It gets very annoying when people are still jacking off to OOT after 15 freaking years! Every Zelda game that has come out since has been slapped on the ground by OOT fans. However, I think Majoras Mask is a bit overrated. I think MM is one of the weakest games in the series. Everyone says, "Well, you gotta get used to the timeline", but to be honest, the timeline was not the main problem. The timeline was kind of creative actually. The main problem was how short it was and how the timelinewas only used to extend the game. Replaying boss battles various times and having to do so many stupid side quests over and over just wasn't my idea of fun. However, I still like OOT and MM. I thinK Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword all deserve way more praise.

I think there really is no TRUE best game ever. Just games we like and dont like. I didnt even think OOT was the best game on the N64 back then. I thought it was Conker's Bad Fur Day and even I can admit, that game was not perfect. However, it was perfect to me. And I think that is what really matters. Fallout 3 is plagued with bugs and glitches, but in the end, none of that even mattered. I just loved it too damn much. And the same can be said for all games. No game out there is really perfect. They are only perfect to the eyes of the beholder.

It was NEVER the greatest game of all time, it rode a hype wave with few reviews, the N^4 boosted it to gain sales (It may be the only Zelda to BARELY move consoles) But the game has so many problems it's amazing that Nintendo threw that game around over all other good games which 89% of N64 fans don;'t know about. I mean it was hyped to death for the sole purpose of moving N64, it didn;t work and in return all those games that may have helped prety much don't exist This is why the best n64 games list has the same 8 freaking games. The game is nothing but a derailed hype train and Zelda fans just want it to stay relevant when it never was.

I prefer Majoras Mask and Clocktown is one of my favorite towns in a game. I do not think either are the greatest games ever. I played OoT after Majoras mask but both are good. I hated playing the young link part in OoT lol. MM also has a much better Romani ranch and cooler sidequests. OoT gets "dark" as well so I have no idea why MM is called a so much darker game. Both games are amazing but MM is better imo due to the time mechanics, masks, and more enjoyable sidequests
