The Ultimate "Ocarina of Time" playthrough - PreSynopsis

"Dost thou sense it?" - Stupid Deku tree

 Okay, this is the plan for the game. I am going to play the game from start to finish without using cheats or a walkthrough. Even in the tough parts, I am going to persevere and carry on playing even through the hardest parts of the game (even the fabled "Water Temple" or something). I have been told that the game gets good around halfway through, and that the start does drag on quite a bit. But that is my point! If this game is considered the "Best Game of all Time"™ then surely it shouldn't be like this!



Maybe I'm exaggerating about this. Maybe I'm not. But I have played parts of the game before and I just never got that feeling that this was a great game. Could just be me, perhaps I'm looking for something symbolic of games that I do like in this particular game. I grew up with a NES, SNES and Game Boy, and yet never had a Zelda title to play on any of those consoles.

So is that it? That leaves me with three choices to make at the end:

1. People who played the older versions of this game have a "Link" to this game, like through childhood memories or something. 
2. People who have played the more recent games have their "Link" to this game, like Twilight Princess or The Minish Cap (Which I have also never played).
3. I am just stupid and wrong, and this game just really is the "Best Game of all Time"™. 

That last option can't be correct though. I guess we will find out at the end! Well that or I will hate the Zelda games even more than I do now. Especially this one. A lot.
