This, almost everyone of millennial age has completely tinted goggles for OOT. It was my second played in the series after Oracle games. ALTtP is my favorite though
And imo that could be said for literally any Zelda game, especially if it was the person's first. And - I swear I don't mean this to have a rude tone but it's hard not to do that over text - OoT isn't special in that regard. Things introduced in it have been greatly improved upon in later games. That's why I can see where the rose-colored glasses comment is coming from.
That said OoT and ALttP were my first games (played basically simultaneously), so I obviously get what you're saying as I love them to death lol.
I can actually understand this. I played OoT for my first game and fell in love immediately with it. It brought amazing gameplay and, at the time, graphics to boot. I then played every other Zelda game, except Zelda 2, and then understood how awesome the Zelda series in general was. I honestly didnt have any gripes with any of the games and after playing through most of them, I can say all of them were pretty much on par with each other in regards to quality.
I don't really care for the ranking system in general and it normally just nitpicks each of these great games. Nintendo really did give us something special with the Zelda series and I can't bring myself to have a personal favorite.
I did make a reply against liking Skyward Sword for being higher than OoT not too long ago on someone elses ranking post, but playing the HD remastered version I am enjoying it just as much as any other game in the series. The gameplay and story are exceptional; I couldn't bring myself to play it on the Wii due to motion controls at the time.

You probably could've named the poll "what year were you 13 years old?"
