The worst part about Mario 64 was that it was a port of Mario 64.Originally Posted by Mzo
I suspect the same will be true for OoT. Nintendo's 2D work horses took an entire console generation to not suck in 3D.

Yeah, I miss no chance to point out how completely overrated Nintendo has always been, but that's just insane. The industry took a generation to not suck at 3D, but Nintendo was better than most.
OoT and Mario 64's biggest problems were that they were Zelda and Mario games. Nintendo just couldn't capture the pacing and feel of those series in 3D at that point. Way too much empty space.
Of course both series managed to get worse in that regard the following generation, not better.

Sunshine stomps 64 so bad it's not even funny.
But Zelda... Yeah they've never gotten that right in 3D, so I suppose you could make the case that they have just kept going down hill.
Cute and spicy.
wat. Twilight Princess was at least twice as good as OoT. Majora's Mask and Wind Waker were exponentially better.
Every mistake made by 64 is amplified in Sunshine. More empty space, more playing the same handful of levels... It's really not even a particualrly good game compared to other 3D platformers. Maybe the only game I've played that I traded in without finishing (hell I rarely trade games in at all).
Wind Waker was bipolar. It's like a fantastically great 5 hour game had a baby with the 20 hour extended version Desert Bus from Penn and Teller's Smoke and mirrors. When it was good it was great, but when it was bad it was downright inept.
Cute and spicy.
Good thing it wasn't ever bad.
You're right, literally spending hours staring a blue screen and holding a button down is great entertainment. So great that I appreciated them adding a gimmick that forces me to periodically tap left slightly to avoid a shark for no perceptable reason other than to make sure I don't just put a rock on the controller and leave for 10 minutes and miss all the fun.
I don't want to be melodramtic, but the sailing bits and endless filler fetch quests that drove them are literally the worst thing to happen sine the holocaust. If you defend it, you're pretty much Hitler.
Cute and spicy.
I loved the sailing. Never got bored. It was all about the music and sense of adventure. I also liked looking for the triforce bits.
The game is pretty much perfect.
