Critical Gamer's Stephen K writes: I had already walked the too-luxurious-for-my-battered- sneakers carpet of Jones Hall four times before, mostly due to the blissful days when Tommy Tallarico would stop by to say hello with Video Games Live. The sound of an orchestra warming up always sends a special thrill of excitement down my spine, and I’d say the Houston Symphony trumps even the PS3 boot-up screen. Sitting in the very front row meant craning my neck to see over the five-foot stage, but it’s hard to complain when you can count the violin strings from your seat. Even closer was conductor Eimear Noone, an Irish musician who has orchestrated the likes of World of Warcraft and Starcraft II. She and Jeron Moore (producer for both Symphony of the Goddesses and Play! A Video Game Symphony) did a superb job running a show that practically glows with genuine respect for the source material.

You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.

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.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
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.
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.
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.
A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.
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.
