Ocarina Of Time because I'm old and I still think it holds up. Dark Souls 1 probably for the same reason even though it is janky.
A friend of mine played Ocarina of Time for the first time a couple of years ago, and did confirm that it's legitimately great and not just nostalgia glasses.
I loved Link to the Past so much that Orcarina was a let down to me at the time.
DS1 is many wonderful things, but far from perfect. Iconic, visionary, genre defining - yes. Perfect? Only if you stop at Ornstein and Smough.
I really feel that one. In fact the first time through i did basically stop after Ornstein and Smough. Everything thats great about the game kind of unravels a bit after that point. If the game stopped there, it would be a lot closer to perfect. Still love DS1 though obviously
Maybe, you're right but when I think of the later games which are clearly better I just feel like they're... missing some puzzle piece from the first game.
Edit. If you stop at O&S you don't get to fight Gwyn and hear that banging music.
You also get to wade through eye cancer inducing lava with copypasted dragon butts for minutes and fight a gimmicky platforming boss that can just randomly kill you if it feels like it.
They just didn't finish the game properly. It doesn't take away from what that game means to me and to the medium as whole, but it is undoubtedly a flawed product.
Oh yeah.. I always forget about the dragon butts..
Eh, Blighttown is before O&S. Regardless of whether you like the area or not, the FPS hit was massive.
Yeah but in the remastered version it's completely fixed and honestly, I kind of like it.
I agree, but I still like Majora's Mask more. Don't ask me to elaborate, i'm not sure i can put it into words.
Nah, I get it. Majora's Mask is also a masterpiece. I didn't get to play it for a while because of not having the damn expansion pack so I've definitely got more attachment to OOT.
