ok. i dont get it. why does everyone think ocarina is the best game ever? its not anywhere near that good. i enjoyed. iv beaten it like 6 times. But there are SOOOOO many better games. It's not even the best zelda game. First, the game is incredibly linear, with a mostly empty overworld. All of the combat (save for a few memorable scenes)is really easy, mostly conisting of walking in a circle around the enemy until they drop their guard and then mashing the attack button. Dungeons consist of a rarely difficult labyrinth where you explore till you get an item, use the item to get to a new part, then fight a boss that requires you to use the item. theres no mystery in that. at no point in the game do you ask yourself "woah! how do i beat this boss?" because you already know. Lets compare that with the original legend of zelda. the world was open to you immediately, there were secrets everywhere, combat was tough, dungeons were confusing, and bosses are all beaten differently, with sometimes multiple ways of doing it. For example, manhandala can be beaten by stabbing it, or if your crafty, you can put a bomb in her path and blow her up. While the og zelda was flawed, it still created more of a feeling of wonder when exploring, and excitement when making it to a new boss and not knowing how to kill it.
