Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

This is the thread where we pay tribute, and fondly remember, the greatest game ever made:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Released just over 10 years ago now, In my opinion, this game was and still is the best ever. The complete package that was OOT has never been surpassed, and I doubt ever will be. This is I believe the only game to ever make my cry, the gameplay and difficulty were absolutley perfect, not to mention technically groundbreaking for the time. Its the adventure game that all others should look to for inspiration. I went back and played through it again not too long ago and it still stands tall today. Here are a few memories in the form of photographs, please share any special experiences you might have had with Ocarina of Time.

I believe you spelled "Half-Life" wrong.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

How can the greatest game of all time not even be the best game in the series? :ohreilly:

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

I'll disregard those posts...that being said, I do agree Half Life is also an amazing game. In any event OOT is number 1 according to gamerankings.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

The Orange Box includes 5 games for the price of one. I doubt that will ever be surpassed.
What the hell are you talking about! OOT is clearly the best game in the series. Maybe you were just bad at it and had to wait for the dumbed down newer Zelda games to come out.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

here you are praising Half-Life so much, and you havent ever played the original Half-Life, the best out of all of them. A big fat phoney

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

Majora's Mask might be better than OoT. I'm still not sure about that, I'll have to replay them both.

But yeah, Ocarina of Time, what a game... Back then I didn't fully realize how epic it was.

I played this game for the first time about 5 years ago... I was in England, and came across it in a second hand games basket in a store for 5£. during my 3 week vacation all I could think about was OOT and the new Gameboy Advance SP I had just bought... I agree, maybe not the only best game ever, but definitely in the top 3.

Its not my fault I never had a PC. And ive seen a walkthrough and I think HL2 is better. HL1 doesnt even involve the Combine yet, which is what I praise most out of Half-Life 2. Besides, I dont need to have played HL1 because I already know that its awesome and you back me up by saying its the best.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

Nah, you should play it. Half-Life, much like OoT, is one of those games that stands the test of time. HL is still very much playable and enjoyable, even after HL2, and since you probably already own it with some Valve package, you have no excuse.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

Didn't they sell HL1 for $1 a while a go? I consiered buying it, but decided not to. I already have it, somewhere...

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

Thats exactly what im talking about. Never has a game had such a vice grip on my life while I played it than OOT. It really was all I thought about for a good length of time, I have fond memories of going to school and discussing it with friends.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

I LOVE the 3D version of A Link to the Past!

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

I wouldnt say Half Life is the best video game ever, its the best in the series. Its up there though.

Re: Pay Tribute to the Greatest
 

Never played OoT
