Reminder, the original release of Ocarina of Time was capped at 20 frames per second. Yes, 20, not even 30.
>>
>>722504902
Wouldn't you? Imagine living in the era where you got to see games transition from 2D to 3D, to see the actual progression in tech unfold before your eyes.
Honestly, the pacing from Kokori Forest into Hyrule Field was amazing. You go from a relatively cramped and small forest into this. You can argue that it's empty and has nothing to it but seeing it at the time was certainly something.

And zoomers love phone games with even worse graphics, at ~10-15fps with tapping a hard screen and waggling their phones about.

Yeah, we were dumb and easily impressionable. It's only something that becomes an issue when a person is older and more perceptive.
Being young and stupid is a huge force multiplier on enjoyment of any entertainment. Getting old is just painful. I hope one day I'll have a stroke and start enjoying vidya again.

the gameplay is just "lock on and mash attack", no dodge roll, no parry, it's very basic
once you get to adult Link and beeline the biggoron sword it gets retarded easy

My Dad is a Boomer and he did not care about any game. (1962)

Me (1993), watch my older brother as I grow up go from Snes and Genisis to N64 and PS1 then to a Xbox and Gamecube then to a 360 in 10 years was pretty cool, it was cool to see the tech jump and change over time, now I feel like the meme about kids today just getting to experience Fortnight for 10 years instead of all that

old games were optimized because they had to be. new games are 3x bigger than necessary just because they don't feel like removing the bloat.

Any excuse to put Terra in the meme is valid. You could also just make your own version with a black mage, NES FFI's color palette and a Truth NUKE. The shitty ones made in paint are usually funnier anyways.

Games were better when emphasis and pushing for better graphics didn't come at the expense of the rest of the game

The graphics on the N64 only surprised people at the very beginning. When Mario 64 first appeared, it caused quite a stir, mainly because for a significant portion of normal consumers, 3D with that "quality" was not something people experienced at home.
But it's always good to remember that there were already much more impressive games out there. Daytona USA ran at 60fps in arcades, with higher resolution, and came out four fucking years before Ocarina of Time. OOT was released in the same year as Half Life 1 and Unreal, games that were technically already on another level.
In addition, it quickly became clear that the N64 was not really capable of generating the graphics (and audio) that modern games required, so even though everyone thought the N64 was far superior to the Saturn and PSX at launch, it didn't take long for people to start noticing that the 32-bit consoles had much more attractive games, with audio and visuals that were more appealing to the senses than the N64.

Note: this is an unbiased summary written by someone who was alive at the time and frequented arcades, game fairs, computer fairs, and everything related to electronics, and not American YouTubers who know nothing about the industry.

Damn, it still looks good today. It's amazing how well these old games scale with newer hardware.

>>722504902
it's an average game that was great only at its time of release. sequelitis ripped it and the boomer fanboys to shreds rightfully so

>>722515569
Flare is a faggot spell. Non elemental my ass. Fucking fire everywhere, not as cool, slow long animation with lots of balls. Ultima is just cooler.

You literally had to be there to understand how big of a deal it was to go from 2D, to graphics chip fuckery that allowed for sprite layers to flip around and spin like Mode 7 on SNES, to rudimentary polygons in games like Starfox, to full-blown 3D.
The only way you could get something equivalent nowadays is if we had fully immersive VR that could apply to ALL of the senses in a completely open, completely non-linear, completely modular game that can go in infinite directions based entirely on how the player engages with the game.

There's a PC port called Ship Of Harkinian that lets you mess with a bunch of built-in improvements. It's the best OOT experience nowadays.
>Any other good zelda games?
Majora's Mask is kino and a direct sequel to OOT but plays a bit differently thanks to the time loop structure.
A Link to the Past is great but not a 3D game.
Wind Waker is pretty good if you can get past the cartoony artstyle.
Twilight Princess is fine but shares so much with OOT it feels a bit samey.
Haven't played the rest.
