Wow, have you played any Zelda games before OoT? OoT is MUCH different. Yes the 3D environment is a big part of it, but the fact is that the 3D environment was used to perfection was a bigger part. And no it's not just swimming, riding a horse, and using a handfllute that's different... The whole dungeon layout and gameplay design was completly different.

To me it's almost disrespectful to compare it to FF7. FF7 could have had 2D-overhead graphics, and it wouldn't have impacted how the game was played at all. In Zelda you had to go in first person a lot to closely examine your surroundings to have an idea of what to do next...

And while OoT's story is simplistic, it was the "real deal". I haven't played the Wiizelda yet, but I know MM and WW looked like gimmick stories next to OoT.
