I've been playing RPG's ever since I got (well, my older brother got) a nintendo way back when. Anyways, Zelda was my first RPG, and it was certainly a good one. It was simple, had fun gameplay, and a compelling storyline. That made it great. Other RPG's have come along such as Knights of the Old Rebublic, Quest 64 (yeah, I know, who cares about Quest?...), World of Warcraft, Morrowind, Paper Mario, and lots of others that I don't feel like mentioning (I know I'm lazy). Anyway, even though more complex, intriguing, and basically great RPG's have been made, that old original 2d Zelda still has special meaning for me. The Ocarina Of Time was also a great game, and it took me months to beat, and it was awesome. Knights of the Old Republic was awesome too with all of the good/evil choices, and Jade Empire is made by the same people and is going to be sweet. But anyway, way back to N64, Quest 64 was very innovative for its time, and was great and fun to play, but the ending SUCKED. I mean, the main character dies, and "no one ever knew about the boy who had saved them" blah blah blah, and the whole point of the game (at least I thought) was to find your father, and you don't even do that. LAME!!!! But anyways, the genre of RPG's had made many great steps forward over the years, and there are those RPG's that can make you feel like you've started another life. Anyways, my favorite RPG of all time up to now is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for N64.
