Why Ocarina of Time is still a masterpiece 25 years later
Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest games of all time as well as one of my personal favorites. So I wanted to do an analysis of the classic Nintendo 64 masterpiece and share my thoughts and feelings about one of the best Legend of Zelda games ever.

Dragon's Dogma 2 characters are INSANE (Cursed Creations)
Просмотров 3623 месяца назад
I'll be honest, I've never played Dragon's Dogma or Dragons Dogma 2. But with the new character creator it was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. I've seen lots of realistic characters made in Dragon's Dogma 2 but its time to get cursed and see just how funny, wacky, and broken we can really get! ✅ I'm live on Twitch most evenings! → twitch.tv/aswordbear 🐦 Twitter → aswordb...

    Am I the only person that thinks Ocarina of Time is overrated as all hell? I know how important the game is and I'm not calling it bad. But an masterpiece of a video game or just Zelda games in general is an far stretch. I feel like it has flaws that many people overshadowed it. I thought Hyrule was too big and empty, the dungeons range from decent to just mediocre, the game isn't all that challenging, the inventory is next to worthless, the bosses are an pushover and overall, it can be such an chore. Also this game is literally A Link to the Past in terms of the structure & layout, but just in 3D. Sorry for sounding criticism here. But I think people over praised the game way too much. Again. Not an bad game. Just not an masterpiece

    15:00 im sorry, but upscaling is actively making it look worse. do the same thing to ocarina of time and that game too looks like garbage too. TP aged much better thn everyone gives it credit. dont blame the game for looking bad when youre the one making it look worse...

    I got something mean to say, and you will hear it! WIND WAKER WAS BETTER! But seriously this is a great video and I'm with you 98%. Its been years since I've played and I can still beat OoT blindfolded because I used to beat the game at least once a year. Its not my number 1 Zelda game, but its definitely one of my favorite games of all time. And you should talk about Battle Network, that's my favorite Megaman...... Nah, I'm lying, Megaman Zero is actually my favorite, but BN holds a special place in my heart.

    leaving a comment for the algorithm, since i really liked this video. i played ocarina of time for the first time less than half a decade ago in high school. i hadn’t played any games released before, like, the wii era. getting used to the graphics was odd, but they were also instantly really charming. the music was not the kind i heard a lot in games with its instrument samples instead of live recordings, but it felt so PERFECT. i blazed through the game in around a month, including the time i spent getting all the heart pieces and gold skulltulas (i don’t normally get all the collectibles in games, but i could not put it down). the story was beautiful as well. i can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said, but it just really resonated with me. leaving the temple of time after getting the master sword and seeing what was once such a charming, hopeful hyrule completely destroyed made me care about “saving the world” more than any game ever had. when i reached the end screen, i was hit with… a lot. i felt pride over saving hyrule. i felt awful about everything link had to go through before being forced to just go back and live out his childhood traumatized. i was sad it was over, but also really glad i’d decided to play this 20-year-old game that i could just as easily have never considered. i eventually picked up majora’s mask, although i was convinced it wouldn’t beat the experience of its predecessor. i blazed through it in a similar amount of time, and the similar themes of loss, trauma, and growing up resonated with me as well, although there were a lot of differences. in the end, i can’t say which i preferred; they were such different experiences, but they both completely changed my life. (i am leaning towards majora, but seriously, it’s close. and i wouldn’t have played it without oot!) playing ocarina of time was probably one of the best decisions of my life. it feels somewhat like a rite of passage, and i wish more people my age would experience it. the game’s a damn masterpiece. i don’t have much more to say. i don’t think anyone’s going to read this, but… thanks, nintendo. not bad.

    Great review my friend. Consider yourself subscribed! I love this game with all my heart. I was eight years old when it first came out and years later when I was an adult, I guided my younger cousin through this game from my memory within days. It is truly a magical game.

    @mookiestewart3776 28 дней назад

    Put very simply , in the world of gaming there is a “before ocarina” and an “after ocarina”. It is to this day a perfect testament to what a video game is and what a game can accomplish. It is the primary bedrock of ALL 3d games even now….And it was released in fucking 1998……an absolutely astounding achievement

    • @aswordbear
      @aswordbear 26 дней назад

      Its impact really can't be understated. So many modern 3D RPGs cite OoT and Majoras as major influences. Hell, even when debating best Zelda game most people (besides edgy contrarians) will acknowledge it's top tier even if it's not their personal favorite. Crazy how influential the N64 run of Nintendo games was on gaming

  • @amjadsulieman1148

    Lol 😂 ty for the vid. Btw, also my favorite game always will be. You are %100 correct but stop worrying THAT much about what others think, it's nice to be considerate, I get it but don't be too hard on yourself. You don't actually play those instruments do you? Lol that was good and OoT music IS epic no question

    I started my first ever play through of Ocarina of Time about 2 years ago. I picked it up on and off on the switch emulator, (which isnt the best way to play it imo) I didn’t play it on and off because it didnt click with me or something, it certainly did and I loved it despite being not the best way to play. But I’m playing the 3D version right now, and told myself I’m playing this game. I think im halfway through and I’m genuinely convinced it will probably be one of, if not my favorite game ever and I see myself playing it time and time again. Souls games are my favorites too and it’s been so hard to find a game I enjoy because they don’t really compare, jaded in a way. But OoT, good lord I can’t put it down. It has some of the best story, themes, mechanics, puzzles, dungeons, NPCs, soundtracks and side quests I’ve seen in a game PERIOD. I’m really convinced it’s going to be my favorite game. I can’t wait to get to Majora’s Mask, since I’ve heard people say it’s just as good.

    I don't even have to watch the video to tell you that Ocarina of Time is my favorite video game of all time. I just love everything about it, the story, the different places you can explore, and especially the music. The artwork is also very pretty. I don't think any game can beat how amazing Ocarina of Time is. :)

    It’s the best example of gameplay connecting to slowly accessible story through discovery to date. It’s a perfect symmetry of how video games can specifically tell a story. It’s a streamlined experience layered with nuance and variety that personalizes it for the player. So so so happy you made this video. OOT for life!

    Fantastic video brother, and I AGREE 100% with everything you said! Ocarina has been my favorite game ever since I got it as a kid in the Christmas of ‘98. I love almost every Zelda game, but nothing has ever captured me the same way Ocarina of Time did.
