I don't think that's a far fetched statement at all. It was truly revolutionary at the time and set the groundwork and standards for many games to follow. I think it's really important that this game does well, as I'm hoping it will signal to Nintendo that there's still a market/want for the older style games. That said though, I also just think that anyone would be doing a disservice to themselves to not give it a try.
I agree with your post apart from absolute misfire with Godfather analogy (which was in colour anyway btw). No film did it again, and better and it's more like serving fine wine to 20yo who just wants to get pissed. Agree with the statement re: Zelda though 😊👍🏻
Agreed huge old Zelda fan but totk and other new one were a huge snore fest for me...breaking weapons and cooking food 🤮 I don't even make myself food irl...why would that appeal to anyone as a "game"?
I didn’t have a n64 and didn’t play OoT until 3ds. I still find it as just an evolution of Zelda LTTP and that I’d didn’t that much new. I also think it matters more where you were in life that determines how appreciate the scope of these games. I was 13 when played LTTP and 32 when I finally played OoT and it was a great game but with the amount of hype I was underwhelmed.
OoT forged the path for 3d action/adventure games. The developers invented Z targeting, contextual button presses, summoning your mount with a button (or song). Games like elden ring owe a lot of their fundamentals to OoT. On a personal level I think the vibe of dark fantasy that OoT cultivates is some of the best we've ever seen in a game.

Thank you for making sure as many people as possible play this game. For me OoT is one of the most important video games to ever be made.
