i was replying directly to koh's criticisms mostly. i'm not looking to argue about this anymore, though. i think the game is fantastic. do i think there are better games? of-fucking-course, as koh said earlier, MM is a technically better game. but not much can hold a candle to OoT to me. that game literally helped shape who i am today IN A HUGE WAY.
