I can't believe I didn't even mention this. I thought it was largely disappointing once I played Majora's Mask and A Link to the Past, that Ocarina of Time didn't have the Zelda theme in the overworld. Even Wind Waker had more of a murmur of the Zelda theme in the Great Sea.
At first I thought it was boring as hell. It was the first Zelda game I'd ever seen, I didn't know it was called "Legend of Zelda" so my first impression of it was crap. Which just shows how much the title "Legend of Zelda" means. If it didn't have that title, nothing would've pushed me to...
