What are you playing right now?

Ocarina of Time was too ground-breaking to be surpassed for me but TP was not far behind. You should definitely play through it at least once, Vivi. You won't regret it!

This is actually one of the problems that kept popping up in my mind each time I thought about going back to it: I don't really like OoT that much anymore. Don't get me wrong, it was fairly ground breaking for the time, and it did a good job of bringing the Zelda formula into 3D, but after beating it twice when it came out I've never managed another full playthrough. I've tried a few times but every time I end up bored out of my skull by the time I get the Master Sword and simply stop. I actually don't think I made it that far last time. I was never able to quite put my finger on why though, and it's been so long since I last tried playing it I can't say for sure why it fell flat with me after those first two times.

I doubt it's over familiarity with it by any stretch at least. I did do just about everything during my second playthrough, but I could say the same about games like FFIV, FFVI, Mario World, Mario 64, Mirror's Edge, and who knows how many more. But I've beaten each of those at least a dozen times over the years.

I've beaten OoT once because my friends forced me to, and I have to say... since I didn't play the game as a kid, the nostalgia goggles had no effect on me, and I didn't enjoy my time with it much. The controls were too wonky for me... master quest was enjoyable, though I was never able to beat it.

Back on TP:
Meh, I don't know if you'd enjoy the rest then. While it may introduce 3 of the best things to ever be put into a LoZ game, double clawshot, Spinner, and Ball and Chain... meh, I'm not sure if you'd be able to push through. It's a shame because the game is basically OoT if it had actually aged well, but you can't love every masterpiece I suppose.

EDIT: Also, I should at least list my favorite LoZs (3D)
1: TP (I just love how it expands on what made OoT great, had some awesome level design, and quite possibly the best tools and puzzles ever. )
2: Wind Waker (I said favorite, not best*)
3: Majoras Mask (The dark, sometimes unsettling story, the eery setting and characters and the masks. I loved this game to pieces)

OoTs story didnt draw me in as much as Majoras Mask to keep me interested, and I found wind wakers combat to be quite possibly the most fun in the entire franchise, even if there were some sections that made me want to kill a baby *(The triforce shards section being the prime complaint for obvious reasons)
