I love you too, bro.

the background music, (and of course the ocarina hymns),
was really catchy in my opinion.
I still can hum the shop or the minigame music,
even after 10 years...

and, o boy, how I loved the song which played in the gerudo desert

Ha, jokes on you! I just re-started this game this afternoon! Never too old.

i almost die of nostalgia :'(

For the die hard zelda fans, i suggest that you all listen to this.

Even if you dont like dubstep or rap, you HAVE to give this guy credit.
There are 2 other raps as well. Lost Woods and Song of Storms.
Wub wub, wub wub wub.

@incko: HOLY COOCOO ON A STICK IT'S FUCKING ZELDA'S LULLABY ALL MY STICKERS FOR YOU NINTENDO OVERLORDS

@incko: If canvas would offer triforce stickers I would give them to this post, god damn.

@Acidsmooth: I used to do that sort of thing on FFVII, then regretted it when the plot started to get serious and I couldn't take it seriously.

One time I also named Barret "Sephiroth" just to see if it would let me. That shit got VERY confusing later on.

That fucking owl song's stuck in my head. Don't you understand?

>No
Yes

@Anonymous: fuck you man

@Anonymous: Shut up, go play your shitty Modern Warfare and leave real games to us adults

@Fufur: >play the game for hours
but it only takes 5 hours to beat

also, Ocarina is overrated as fuck. The only 3D Zelda that's worse is Twilight Princess.

@Anonymous: Not my fault you're either too young or were too poor to afford a N64 when it came out. It'll always be the #1 game on the majority of lists, and will always be the first game to receive a perfect 10. umad

@Anonymous: It wasn't at all "generic" at the time, lrn2release dates.
It was pure innovation and fresh when it was created, there was nothing at all like it that could compare.

@Anonymous: >The only thing I saw in there every time I tried was a generic Action RPG with lame systems and pretty tunes. Playable if you have nothing else to play, but definitely not a first choice, and I never happened to be in such a tight spot that I would need to play it for more than a few hours.
I feel that you grew up playing the crap that is currently on market and never had a chance to experience games when they brought new ideas to the table.

@Anonymous: that is your opinion. you are entiteled to your opinion, even if you are wrong. btw i love OoT, twillight princess, windewaker and a link to the past pretty much the same. that is my opinion. and the majority that have played these games does to.

@Anonymous: I've been casually gaming since the early nineties (born in 86, lived my whole life with slightly outdated games in my hands).
I can admit some games seemed excellent when I first played them and did not age well (Final Fantasy 7, for example).
I can admit some games I didn't like were groundbreaking in their own right (I'm not a FPS fan, but still I can get how Half-Life changed the way we look at the whole genre).

As another Anon said, it is just my opinion, much like you're entitled to yours.
I just wish someday, someone would tell me just what is so incredibly great that I must have missed in this game that makes it "THE BEST GAME EVAAAR" for everyone.
I'm not excluding the possibility that I may be thick and/or dead inside.

@Anonymous: It's called nostalgia. People remember a time when they were happy and played an awesome game that made them feel even better. If you played a game that gave you a better experience first then you don't ever get it. I was born in 1980 and I have to play nostalgia police constantly. Today's games are way better, and tomorrows will beat them, because the next generation always builds from their influences of the past. This holds true for movies and music as well, sorry nostalgiacs, but it's true. I'm just getting into Skyward Sword but I keep getting sucked back into Canvas.

@Acidsmooth: Am I the only one who named the guy "Link"

@Anonymous: It really depends on what you mean by "better". See for me better gameplay = better games. Obviously everything contributes to gameplay, but when I'm comparing games, graphics and realism are some of the last things I look at. It's like comparing older movies to new movies and saying that obviously newer are better because they can make them look better. No. I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. Playing a game is not the same as looking at a game, though I think graphics are definitely something that can and should be appreciated, and can also make gameplay better. My point is basically that you can make a really great game without the greatest technology. The game doesn't have to be epic or have the greatest graphics (though for its time OoT was pretty much these things), it just needs to be fun to play. That's why people still play SMB, Contra, Sonic, etc. (or at least I still do, I don't know about anyone else). It's about the fun and creativity that the makers put into the game, not the "cool" factor, or the "dude it's like I'm killing real people!" factor.

@Anonymous: A) I got it for Christmas the year it came out. I was 12. It was the best thing ever.
B) I never said it was bad. I said it was overrated. A point you also made when you said "It'll always be the #1 game on the majority of lists"

Majora's Mask was exponentially better than Ocarina.

@nebetsu: I usually name the guy "Ryu" and name Breath of Fire's protagonist "Link", just for the lulz

@nebetsu: Why didn't you just name him Zelda?

@mihaeeel: ... the Fairy Fountain theme? >.>
