I don't care how old it is; I still don't think OoT counts as a "classic." But I freely admit that it's probably because in some ways I am a bitter old lady. Get off my lawn!
I disagree. I think OoT is the last of the 'classic' Zelda titles. It was the first Zelda in 3D, and the developers put everything they could at the time into the game. After that, the games started to become progressively shallower experiences.
