I have the same kind of feelings for Oot! It was absolutely amazing, I still play it every now and then, and I finish it at least once a year. The thing with my experience was that I knew nothing about Zelda when I got the game. I got an N64, Star Wars podracer and Zelda around the middle of 2000. I played podracer for a good few hours and then decided to check out 'this Zelda game'. When I got control of link it was amazing, the lush Kokiri forest the characters, ahh it was really good.
Now up until this point the only console I owned was a Sega MegaDrive, so it took me awhile to fully understand how to play the game. For instance, when the A button said 'attack' I thought that was Links attack.. trying to play a 3D game with 16 bit knowledge..heh it took me about 13-14 goes to kill queen Gohma aswell :S. Although I had a MegaDrive for that long, I did play various games at friends house's. Mainly fighting games and Goldeneye though.
So yah Oot pretty much blew me away in terms of scope, controls, graphics and epicness!! While MM was good, it didnt have the same impact. Neither did WW, although with both of those I found out quite a bit about them before I played them. This time however, I have tried to keep it to a minimum and I think I will ban myself from the net from the 19th to the 7th. (Aussie Release Date)
