As far as linear Zelda games are concerned, this one takes the cake in my opinion. It was alright, and of course I'll never speak ill of it but I definitely disliked all of the flying and it felt like filler material for the limited world.
It had a good story but left a feeling they were simply scrambling to release something for the 20th anniversary/before the Wii ended its run. I really wanted more depth on the old world, they touched on a lot of neat concepts but didn't explore them enough.
I'd argue that the game isn't even that linear, as you can beat the the Forest, Fire, and Water temples in any order if you get Din's Fire before picking up the Master Sword for the first time. You can also beat the Spirit before the Shadow temple with no problems.
so, nostalgia boner? i dont consider pokemon the best game ever just because i played it 2000 times. just because a game is good, and you played it when you were you and it was cool.
literally nothing you just said makes it the best game ever. just because its good and you like it doesnt mean its not incredibly flawed and surpassed by many other games.
Skyward Sword was disappointing, the only one Zelda I did one time, never relaunch it since. Areas was really smaller and similar, I was like have 3 areas only and quests was redundant. Still, many good ideas was in the game.
I am not hyped by this Zelda, because I have not read news about it since his announcement, and because Skyward Sword let me bitter taste.

Very true, it's just linear now because it's been optimized over the past 18 years. Not to mention Z-targeting was completely new and now basically a standard for combat-driven games. Side quests and a vast world, Epona was completely optional, there was just so much to it for it's time.
"for it's time". This is exactly what im talking about. it was a good game "for it's time". there are still so many better games. a game cant be called the best game ever if all the evidence you use compares it to others in its time. its simply not the best now as of this moment.
It's okay man, you can shit on everyones parade. I'm not the one trying to join the OoT fan club since I'm already a part of it. Even for someone who's played it through 6 full times and doesn't understand then we can't help you. I'm just ready for BotW to be here to be the next "Best Game Ever"
That's also a figurative term you know, not absolute. I love OoT. There are better games, sure, but it holds a very high standard for every gamer out there, that's why it's still talked about to this day.
i am not shitting on anyones parade. i like the game. The game is good! I am not saying its bad! it is simply not the end all be all game everyone claims it is. many people are in fact not using "best game ever" figuratively. how many "top 10 games of all time" list is oot the top of? alot of them. just browse the internet and you'll see so many people claiming in literal terms that oot is the best game ever. whether or not you like the game isnt in question. it is simply not, nor will ever be, the greatest game of all time.
I will not argue about OoT, I'll just say this : Thanks to OoT the standards changed and a lot of things became possible BECAUSE of OoT.
It's not about if you like the game or not but how it was important to the whole industry of games, it was a paradigm shift.

I totally agree, but then so was the original zelda, and the original metroid in a similar way.
Is there any possibility that the leak came from the switch version? Or the leaker claimed that it was from the Wii U version?
I've been careful on the Internet lately because of spoilers.

That's what I'm saying, whoever has it isn't sharing their tik like a jerk!

Well, we can't datamine the switches carts or anything yet as it's a new console + format.
So it's def the Wii U.
The data miner most likely didn't have a retail copy, but the EUR version download from NUS. What was leaked was readily accessible if you knew what you were doing, of course.
If it were a retail disc we would have seen more than datamined icons; what's the point in datamining for spoilers if you have access to the game already.

Just to note that I played it for the first time in 2008 and still thought it was fantastic. Anecdotal and subjective, yes, but I still think the game's atmosphere, music, combat, controls, boss fights (except Morpha, f*ck that thing) have aged very well. And now with the remake, the graphics have been brought up to spec and the Iron Boots were fixed, so what's not to love?
I feel that a lot of people just expect it to have aged poorly, not only because is it is 19 years old after all, but it was also a 3D game in a period where devs were still experimenting with what made a good 3D game and the hardware just couldn't fully realize their ambitions. Yet there are games even older than OoT that are still adored, such as the SNES Final Fantasy games or Super Metroid, and it's almost universally agreed that these games are up to modern standards, so what's people's problem with Ocarina?
if that was true, we'd never gotten a leak at all. no key equals no data to mine.
I mean, the leaker got something no one else managed to get from that EUR version download. So chances are it was a full game.
