Seems like the author never played A Link To The Past. Not that there weren’t a lot of firsts in Occarina of Time, but wow, there is just so much they attribute to it here that it didn’t do first …
… and a lot of what they mention are experiences available in the later games if you just ignore the available game guides and discover the mechanics organically. Sure, I had the tools to access this area I’ve gone back to after 30+ hours of play time as soon as I made it off The Great Plateau, or dropped off the Sky Islands in TOTK, but I didn’t know that yet, until the game forced me to learn it or literally taught me via a random shrine or riddle.
Why is this even a comparison? There are literally over 15 years of advancements in gaming between the two titles, so no shit OoT is going to be more focused.
Garbage article. Just summarizes OoC and barely mentions other titles until the end where they just repeat the title but with a few more words without ever explaining why the author said it made them feel that way.
