Hey, Guys! Let's Get Talkin' 'Bout OoT!! - VGF

CuccoLady · 02-19-2008, 02:24 PM

BECAUSE PRACTICALLY EVERY OTHER GAME IN THE SERIES HAS SUCH A THREAD.

Anyway.

Here, we can talk about all sorts of stuff about this kickass game... EXCEPT answers to the Who Wants to be a Millionaire, because if you do so CL will be angry. :P

Soooo...

Let's get a-talkin!!

Personally, I think the Shadow Temple deserves recognition purely due to its ability to scare the PANTS off of me. A temple that can do that after about 4 or 5 playthroughs is a dang well-designed temple in my opinion. Blasted wallmasters.

Also, I love the nice big overworld with all sorts of nooks and crannies to explore and hunt for Gold Skulltulas and to find mini-games and a bunch of other stuff. I liek 2 asplore. Of course, more recent games have taken this overworld to the next level, but OoT was a great start in this new aspect.

Epona is adorable. I love riding around on her. And pwning Ingo's butt in the horse race never gets old. :3 (Neither does getting a pet cow in your treehouse. How the hell does that thing get up there, anyway? A catapult?)

Also, I've been playing the Master Quest with my best friend for awhile now. We're stuck on the room before Dark Link. Confusion abounds.

So... let us talk about OoT!! Because we can!!!

Nah, there's still not one for the Oracle games.

I think people here know my *harsh* feelings against OoT. Though, I do fancy that Forest Temple theme.

Blake · 02-19-2008, 03:56 PM

Lol, my favorite part was item assignment! Every item had a proper spot!

Deku Sticks: C-left
Bombs: C-left
Hookshot: C-left
Din's Fire: C-left
Farore's Wind: C-left
Bottles: Usually C-left(might whip out 3 at a time though)
Sidequest Items/Masks: C-left

Deku Nuts: C-down
Bomchu: C-down
Megaton Hammer: C-down
Magic Beans: C-down
Lens of Truth: C-down

Boomerang: C-right
Slingshot: C-right
Bow and Arrow: C-right
Fire/Ice/Light: C-right
Ocarina: C-right

Meh, what's the last item I'm missing?

Tad Venture · 02-19-2008, 03:58 PM

Ocarina was always on C-Right, for both this and MM. I never moved it.

X-3 · 02-19-2008, 04:03 PM

Huh, I usually place my items in ALL OoT as:

Left: Hook/Longshot
Middle: Arrows
Right: Ocarina or Hammer

Oh, and I always wear the Zora Tunic, cuz it is awesome. Not as awesome as the armor in TP, no, but still cool.

I am nobody · 02-19-2008, 04:05 PM

I'm probably one of the few to think this, but I really wasn't impressed by OoT. The first two bosses are incredibly easy and boring to fight, as are most of their dungeons. Jabu-Jabu's belly was even worse, by far the most boring dungeon in the whole series, and if it wasn't for Barinade, I probably would have stopped playing right there. Furthermore, those first 10 or so hours feel like I completely wasted them, as the story is almost non-existent.

While the second part was much better, the first part almost the entire reason that I liked TP, WW, aLttP and MC better than OoT.

I'll post my Liked/Didn't Like list now:

Like:
The many Characters
Ocarina
The stealth part of Gerudo Fortress. (Like WW, I wish this was a bigger part of the game)
The Golden Skulltula collecting.
Swimming
The trading sequence.(Even if it did glitch on me)
Wolfos
Stalfos
Dampe and the graveyard easter eggs

Did not like:
The first part of the game
Ruto
Navi

Cravdraa · 02-19-2008, 04:30 PM

I personally thought the forest temple was much creepier than the Shadow temple.

**Booyakasha** · 02-19-2008, 08:37 PM

Over time, my opinion of OoT has mollified somewhat. I still consider it and MM the weak links (a-hyuk hyuk hyuk) in the series, but I couldn't honestly claim to hate it nowadays. (Not OoT, anyway. Ah, but my demoniac hatred for MM is a rant for another occasion.)

Likes--
Day turning to night (a novelty then, but I've rarely seen it better executed)
Music (Forest Temple rules)
Fishin' (especially catching the Loach)
Bombchu Bowling
Genuinely interesting and tricky puzzles in the dungeons
Going all Hun and shooting people from horseback
Stalfos, Wolfos, Iron Knuckles, Dark Link
Badass Ganondorf/Ganon showdown

Dislikes--
Some way-too-long cutscenes
General lack of enemies in the overworld
Combat difficulty lessened by Z-targeting
Arsenal/first-aid kit/piggybank under every clump of grass
Kind of 'meh' enemy design

Bosses were a mixed bag.

CuccoLady · 02-19-2008, 11:57 PM

I tend to always put the absolute most important item for a dungeon in C-Right, because... I don't know. I just do.

Ruto, I think, is actually pretty funny. Despite being very obnoxious. Hey, she makes a handy weight. :3

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-20-2008, 01:10 AM

Also, Ruto is hot.

Blake · 02-20-2008, 12:11 PM

^ Oh, you're referring to "that" topic. Yes, I'm sure it was.

Everyone's angry, cause Link was so close to marrying a Zora.

***ZeldaGirl*** · 02-20-2008, 01:09 PM

Where is Mike Peters when you need him...?

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-20-2008, 01:21 PM

When does anyone ever need him?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Crazyswordsman** · 02-20-2008, 01:24 PM

Well, Ruto became the even hotter Lulu. -CSM

Erdawn Il Deus · 02-20-2008, 04:38 PM

I always wondered how Link would have sex with a zora.

**Booyakasha** · 02-20-2008, 05:33 PM

^...and there it is. Somehow I knew this would come up the second Ace mentioned Ruto's 'hot'-ness (bismillah, by the way).

Tazy_10 · 02-20-2008, 09:22 PM

Is it his fault Ruto almost Married Link?

Not that I know of.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-20-2008, 11:40 PM

Well, he took the Zora's "engagement ring". He also needed it to open up the Temple of Time, so it was a win-win deal with that.
