Rapture747:I think I would have to agree and disagree with you. While both games are 3rd person and involve a sword slashing main character on a quest, they go in very different directions. The obvious difference is that Zelda is all about fulfilling your destiny, in a very linear way, and Fable is about creating your destiny, with choices and options and the whole deal.
I wasn't comparing the games, i was just talking about the fundamentals of a fantastic video game, and why OOT ticked all the boxes for most of us. I don't want fable to be a zelda remake, none of us do, i want it to inherit some of the amazing fundamentals of OOT and make them unique to the fable franchise. Eg. Pacing, music etc...
Edit: Apologies if you were addressing the thread creator, couldn't tell if it was directed to me or not!
