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.
