I just beat OoT.
And I'm happy.

Just thought this was needed.

I thought it was an epic game.

For some reason, I've always been offended by the N64 Zelda games.  I guess it's a mix of "blarrgh my old 2d console games are better" and "well everyone else likes them so they must be bad" hipsterism.

I really need to actually play them sometime.  They must actually be great.  :/  It's just that the first few hours really don't seem like it...

Meh, I played it on the wii.

And there's just some places that make you think so much more than others.
Like the water temple...

and then the final boss was pretty easy, but awesome at the same time.

Every Zelda game would be better if the Water Temple was removed.

Psh... The water temple was a pushover. I beat both the original and Master Quest on the Gamecube combo disk.

This. This. This. A TRILLION F'ING TIMES THIS.

I think the people working on the Boss fight wanted more scene power than actual fighting. Personally I found it kind of anti-climactic.

Now all you have to do is find every single skulltula and every heart piece.

So I take it I'm the only one who actually likes the various Water Temples?

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

I liked the water temple, I just found it probably the most challenging.

I finished with 13 hearts, with the double health upgrade, double magic, and about 16 gold skullatas.

I ran out of magic at the final boss, even after smashing the pillar, so I decided to use hookshot.  :(

Same thing at Bongo bongo or w/e in the shadow temple. I ran out of arrows and used hookshot.
The shadow temple also gave me the creeps...
I think it was the lack of music.

Congratulations OP.
You just finished one of the gems of videogame history.

You think the Water Temple was bad?
Did you try the Ice Temple in Majoras Mask?
This thing was a goddamn maze.
It took me ages to figure it out.

Thanks Mind.
I don't have a N64. If they have it in the shop, maybe I'll get more wiipoints for it.

I also heard the stone tower temple was hard in that too.
(My friend has it, and I watched him play)

I too beat OOT and majora's mask not long ago, though I did it using an emulator.

I must say, I loved them both, and they are incredible gems (though MM only really got epic in the final quater of the game I found).

Heh, that one was fun.
I remember it fondly.

Nothing like turning the whole world upside down, so you can do some platforming :D

I planned to give them another try in a month or two.
Just to see how well the gameplay has aged and live through those epic childhood memories again.

Ah, water temples. I always thought OoT was too easy. LttP's was so much fun.

Never finished that one.
I really should write it on my to-do-list.
