A great historical article of a game that I feel holds up more as a part of history than an actual piece of life changing art that you must play.

I played it back on the Zelda: Collector's Edition for GameCube and did like it, it laid down building blocks for the series as it went on but going back to this recently with that Nintendo Switch subscription, I can absolutely feel it's age.

Good to go back to for seeing how far the series has come in regards to design and presentation and general appreciation of video game history, on it's own sadly due to the passage of time, it feels weak.

EDIT: keeping the previous review up for accountabilitie's sake but this review sucked ass.

This is like, really a foundation for so many games, and while it quickly became beat out by it's successors, Ocarina of Time still has such a wonderful vibe and that weird spark of game publisher's doing everything they could with 3d, this game really pushed the N64 to it's limits back then.

This is also just such a cozy game, there's something reassuring of the soul trotting along Hyrule Field from Kakariko Village, to Gerudo Valley, and back to the Lon Lon Ranch. Horse galloping, music swelling, you feel like a goddamn superhero.

Ignore my old review earlier, that shit sucked ass what the Hell was I talking about?!
