Trust me, Peach, I know the feeling.  I'm in the middle of a very busy week myself.

Sounds rough, ninjap00.

As for what I'm currently balancing? I'm trying to apply to four super-prestigious colleges by the end of the month, and I have weekly quizzes on multiple textbook chapters due in two different classes each week, along with weekly reports and an upcoming presentation for Biology, plus a Psychology debate on Friday and all kinds of Creative Writing work that's hard to keep track of because the class is half online and half off. Oh, and I'm always under constant personal pressure to write my book as well, not to mention cope with my latent internet addiction.

I want to like Ocarina of Time, but between the framerate and the slow pacing, I just... can't.  How did this game ever become as popular as it is?

We might appreciate it more had we played it back in the 90's, methinks.

Hand it to Nostalgia Goggles.

It's much better on GameCube though. Hope the 3DS version includes any combination of Master Quest, new dungeons, relocated Pieces of Heart... and even harder game in the vein of Master Quest...

I preordered Wind Waker back in the day and got the OoT bonus disc. I distinctly remember thinking OoT was the best game ever at the time (I was 13). Then once I got Wind Waker, it took years for me to even attempt to go back to that horrible framerate (even on GameCube) and that unspeakably bad 1-heart beep (possibly even more annoying than LttP's). I started replaying it again not long ago, finished the Fire Temple, and then within a week, they announced the 3DS remake. So I'm waiting for that now.

The game was huge when it came out. Nostalgia might have something to do with where people rank it, but its popularity surely stems from it being a great game.

You're entitled to your opinion TK, so fair enough that you don't like it. There are plenty of reasons not to like the game, it's definitely not perfect, but I've never heard of complaints about the framerate... or the pacing, really. The frame rate, as I recall was pretty stable and stayed right about at what most N64 games did-- 25~30 fps. I'd be interested to know what specifically you don't like about the pacing, though.

I don't know, I'm starting to buy into LD's theory.

Framerate may be because I'm playing on Wii64, but it's supposed to run at full speed even there.  A couple of guys on Metroid 2002's forum have said that it only runs at around 20 FPS even on the actual N64, so I don't think that's just me experiencing problems because of an emulator.

Pacing is just... I don't know.  The beginning just seems to move very slowly, which may have something to do with the framerate, but it doesn't feel like the story is going anywhere.  I can't put my finger on it, and I'm perfectly willing to admit that it has a lot to do with my personal preference, but it just does not move fast enough for me.

Another cause of ANGST for me is that I've been dealing with a cold lately, which wouldn't be so bad normally, but today I've gained this itch in my nose that makes me feel like I'm constantly about to sneeze, but I never actually do.  It's driving me up the wall - especially when it flares up.  Makes my eye water and impairs my breathing and everything.  :\

The game runs perfectly fine on a real N64. Have you even beaten the whole game yet?

I agree with this, but every time I come back to the game, I notice how well it has aged. It's definitely not perfect, but I honestly can't find too many flaws with it.

Maybe you're not playing it fast enough :p.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

No, on account of the the fact that it doesn't hold my interest.

I completely agree, don't get me wrong. Entirely. Every statement.

I just think all the 3-D Zeldas are pretty spectacular (except Midnaland) and whatever you play first, you'll end up comparing the rest to it. Which one is genuinely the best? ...probably Ocarina of Time... maybe.
