Ocarina of Time gets a free space on every Top Games Ever list and firstly: I get it, it kind of invented the "action adventure" genre- and even though I don't find it fun to play I respect its position in history- however- I'm going to CHALLENGE its worth as a building block of history too. I think it invented the action adventure genre badly. Ocarina of Time is a straight line. You can't fool me, it's a straight ass line pretending to be an open experience where you make your own decisions. I dock it points for this- and I dock it points for doing this at a point in time when games should've been opening up their paths more and it taking about 20 years for that influence to be undone
