Twilight Princess is a better game than Ocarina of Time (Bitmob)

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess seems to improve on everything about Ocarina of Time. So what's keeping Twilight Princess from being an all-time fan favorite?

Shaman1454676d ago

Cool article, but I highly doubt people will be talking about Twilight Princes as much as OoT in ten years.

dedicatedtogamers4676d ago

OoT was the first 3D Zelda and was a lot of kids' first Zelda.

The ONLY reason why it is "the best Zelda EVARRRR" is because a large number of insecure gamers are terrified of admitting that their childhood friend has been surpassed by newer Zelda titles.

Peaceful_Jelly4676d ago

the game is selling 3DS something TP couldn't do with the GC or Wii.

@ Peaceful_Jelly

It's selling 3DS? Really? Really? You wanna stand by that? I'll see you in a month when we see how much of an effect OoT had on 3DS sales. LOL

Peaceful_Jelly4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

you people are acting exactly how those other haters act when someone mentions FFVII. Stop hating on things just because they are popular.

OoT was great 10 years ago and it still great 10 years later with amazing reviews and public reception. That's something not many games can achieve and that should be enough prove that your statement is based on misconception and the fact that you're just hatin on something because is popular.

Do you people have any idea why "Citizen Kane" is considered to be the best movie ever created? Have any of you really thought how much the gameplay mechanics in the Zelda series have evolved since OoT?

And on a side note: Wii sales were always high, they never went up because of a game (unless you consider the Wii-fit a game?) like saying Halo on the Xbox or MGS4 on PS3.

MaxXAttaxX4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

OoT is not the better Zelda game.
It was the first 3D Zelda and many people's first Zelda game, yes. It's a really great Zelda game, but not "teh best".
It's a similar case with FF7.

[Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess are better IMO.]

Ocarina of Time was a better game because it was Revolutionary and entirely new in concept. You can't call something better if it attempts to replicate what was already done. On top of which, the Wolf Transformation was forced upon you ever so often, and players prefer being Link the entire game.

Nugan4676d ago

I actually didn't mind the wolf sections, but otherwise I agree.

You can argue over which Zelda game is best, and the argument will be totally subjective and meaningless, because being "good" or "better" is incredibly hard to pin down.

However, what is clear that that Ocarina of Time was more revolutionary than Twilight Princess. Most of the core mechanics used by TP (and hundreds of other 3rd person 3D games) were created or perfected by OoT. That's why it gets so much praise.

Optical_Matrix4676d ago

Fair opinion. In my opinion it doesn't touch OoT though. Was a brilliant game none the less.

elbeasto864676d ago

Uh oh... you gunna git it now... :P

Urmomlol4676d ago

Wow, you're making a controversial statement in order to get attention. Cool story, brah.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

LG_Fox_Brazil117d ago

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64116d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga116d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic115d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits116d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake116d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

It isn't...

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - A Legend 25 Years in the Making

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.

Number1TailzFan148d ago

I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.

TheBrainZ148d ago

A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.

FinalFantasyFanatic148d ago

I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
