Wow alot of hate for oot in this thread. I played it at the time and while it was a GIGANTIC hype train I feel alot of it was deserved.
It didn't feel hollow or empty necessarily at the time, and really pioneered the modern concept of "open world" imo. The controls were pretty good. It looked amazing, and the story and game mechanics worked well I thought.
It's thought it was pretty unanimously heralded as a landmark title for gaming as a whole.
Each their own tho.

On topic: I get fairly entrenched in the "oldie but a goodie" gaming habits. I haven't tried a ton on new games that would permanently dethrone any of my old faves but there are some good ones. Red dead 2 is excellent, persona 5, boom beach as a mobile example. But I doubt any would be on my list if asked in another 5 yrs
