1) you were the one who was going on and on about MGS's cinematics in a thread about OoT v FFVII, not me.Lol right, because "good cutscenes" is the only thing Metal Gear Solid brought to the table, right? And who said good cutscenes were the "most" influential thing in gaming, you? The stealth tactics introduced in MGS are equally if not moreso influential than its presentation.
Which was in Mega Man Legends prior to Zelda. Your point?
2) we've already discussed MML's lock on targeting v OoT's Z-targeting. You're welcome to look back on the thread and see for yourself, but the long story short is that what MML did in '97 was not the Z-targeting that Zelda introduced which set the industry standard that is still used today and would ultimately go on to influence many many games including MML's sequel, MML2. But seeing as how this thread was initially about how influential OoT is compared to FFVII this again just feels like deflection since there wasn't much real debate on that topic.
you can downplay OoT's accomplishments, innovations, and overall influence on the medium as much as you want. At the end of the day most people in this thread think that OoT was the more influential game with the poll not being all that close and the gap only growing since I last checked the thread.
