Ocarina of Time was okay for it's time. It was no masterpiece. I wanted to like it and I played it for some time but I never finished it.
It used Bosses and in my books that's an automatic fail.

gta4 is good, but ocarina of time is way out of it's league ocarina of time is the best game i've ever played, it was way ahead of it's time when it first released. i don't think gta4 can even touch ocarina of time, ocarina of time was always full of adventures with so many things to do with places to explore.
sad thing is he's getting thumbs down for stating the truth by saying ocarina of time is better than gta4, i bet it's just a bunch of 14 year olds who never played ocarina of time before and think gta is everything. shoot man, he even said it was HIS opinion and yet 10 thumbs down. how sad.

I like gta but it's far from perfect or innovative, most of the 'bribed' american and european press gave their perfect score already, but now i am reading magazines where they give credit in its right place, and criticize the shortcomings of the game.
I am playing gta4, and its replay value surpass by far its competitors but the story, graphics and creativity are to be considered as its downfalls;
ok you still disagree, slash the graphics and creativity, and take alone the story, it's linear, old and boring, how can a game be perfect without a good story? don't tell me that gta isn't about the story, it also should be considered, or I can say that warhawk is the best game out there...
finally imo, there isn't the best game, it's all relative, but i like God of War the most, that badass kratos, i never enjoyed a game from the first minute till the last like this one.... and Ocarina was a great game.

I don't think either one is special

I think I like San Andreas more than GTA4 because of the variety in environment (I'm one of those who liked the country and desert stretches between cities.

"GTA 4 is not better then Ocarina of Time, in my opinion."
I do agree, but then again I never believed Ocarina of Time was the best game ever either. I've played it on the 64, and I played Master Quest on the Gamecube. Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 are easily better. Heck even Xenogears and FF8 was better, etc. There are also better games in other genres.
I don't know anyone who considers it the best game, or even the best RPG, and I am surrounded by gamers on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but a little too kiddy. The plot was really simple, and the characters were one-dimensional.

"Dont put zelda in the same league as FPS"
Why? Because using a sword/range and weapons to resolve the conflict is different than fists/guns?
3rd person perspective different than first?
Your arbi9trary rules are silly. Zelda was fun -- in its day. But BioShock raises the bar for immersion and storytelling. You *felt* so much more in BioShock than most games before it. Macking grade-school rules just dont have any value when trying to discuss things such as this.

I consider Ocarina of Time one of the games that is truly a 10. From story, game design, everything.
Grand Theft Auto IV is a very good game, but not a timeless classic like Ocarina.

almost all current gaming concepts can be traced back to this game....

I have never played the game. But, can you truly say its the best game ever? Would you still go back and play it over Ocarina?
Just like Bloodmask said, Ocarina is a timeless classic...i recently played it in the summer...ive beaten the game countless times, and i probably not done.
It may have done alot for the genre, but that doesnt conclude to best game ever.
Note: I didnt disagree and "I agree.. surprisingly so but I do agree...." why so suprising?

It's already the 3rd on GameRankings! GTA4 PS3 is first, GTA4 360 is second and Ocarina is 3rd! Personally I don't think Ocarina should have been there. If anything, the best game of all time should have been either Mario 64, MGS1 or FFVIII IMO...
And now... GTA4 is THE KING.

According to metacritic GTA4 PS3 is first with 100
followed by Zelda OoT with 99
and third being GTA4 360 with 99 as well.
Don't you find it strange how two games with the same rating are still dealt 2nd and 3rd?

Good call Hellbringer but the thing is that MetaCritic and GameRanking have different systems. MC uses all reviews for overall ratings but has less reviews specially for older games. GR only considers select reviews for overall but has much more reviews for oldies
Still, MetaCritic is considered the official site for movie, music and game ratings so I think you're right. GTA4 is first, Ocarina is 2nd and again, GTA4 is 3rd. lol.

7 - Morons, read this:
Some people is seriously STUPID.
GTA IV has less than 40 reviews, this game will have at least 80. It's impossible to keep such a high average after more reviews start to appear.
LOL, I remember that Bioshock also was considered to be "TEH BEST GAME EVAR" but after more reviews appeared, the game dissapeared of that list. Even Super Mario Galaxy could not stay in first place.
I feel sorry for the people who thinks that GTAIV will remain on top, Zelda Ocarina of Time will never be matched in terms of critical acclaim.

Ocarina of Time and Super Metroid are the two best games ever made.
To even mention GTA4 in the same sentence does alot of disrespect to them.
I've played GTA4 for about 12-15 hours now, and it's great, but to say it deserves such an honor as this is laughable. The game came out less than a week ago, that alone disqualifies it from the award. I think once all the hype dies down we're going to hear some of the games faults FINALLY be acknowledged by people who right now say it's "perfect".
It's funny, too, that people have such an awful double standard for video games. If any of these problems that GTA4 has showed up in any other games, they would be reamed by critics. Pop-in, framerate issues, broken driving, really poor cover mechanics...just to name a few.
You know what's worse? TeamXbox actually had the nerve to call GTA4 our "Citizen Kane"...wtf is wrong with people?

mk_red, listen kid. Go and see how many reviews the BIG games get NOW. around 70-80. As i said before, it's impossible to keep such a high average with less than half of the reivews that GTAIV is going to have.
So keep dreaming if you think that gtaiv will dethrone ocarina of time. that's something impossible to achieve.

Anyone who disagrees with the previous comment is either too young to play GTA4, or they're still stuck in the hype.
I completely agree with you man. Some weird sh!t is happening with the media and all this hype is blinding people. The game doesn't innovate anything, except for cinematic presentation, unfortunately the technical issues even hold that back.

OOT is overrated. Maybe its because i was never one of those 'N64 kids' (the ones who couldn't afford a DC or PS1) but playing through it on the gamecube (Zelda collectors edition) i just found it to be a good hack and slash adventure, thats all, there was nothing remarkable about it really.

Quite frankly Ocarina and GTA4 are both sadly overrated.
If I had to go from the very long list of games that I have played in my life I would have to give the title of "Greatest" To Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo, probably the best game ever created.
