Ocarina of Time was a great game at its release, but it doesn't hold up for me.
It very clearly doesn't hold up. Unless judging this on a first "wow moment" at the time or nostalgia claiming it's the best game ever is lala land.
Seriously, compare something like Doom 64 to this and see what is more playable and holds up better. No excuses like "different genre".
Doom64 aside from easily being the best FPS on the platform (not Goldeneye or Perfect Dark as deluded Nintendo folks claim) is a much better game in general. And it's not even the best Doom game.
Considering the time Doom 64 came out? People were tired of more Doom by that point, which was actually part of the reasons GS themselves initially SLAMMED the game. Every developer, even ID (Quake was born by that point, FFS) was hyped to make the jump.
Is it any wonder why Nintendo 64 fans were more for GE and PD when those games had what Doom 64 lacked? Which included multiplayer that for Doom was ONLY on PC at the time? When Nintendo and Rare were considered the only ones to actually push the N64, due to how many third party devs were bailing on Nintendo (cartridge, Nintendo's overall treatment of them, etc) at the time after Sony approached the majority of them, even though it often excludes some (unless you were Star Wars, mainly Rogue Squadron) of the GOOD third party games that DID make it to 64 (like Gauntlet Legends or Rayman 2).
