Zelda: OOT - Overrated?

[EscapePlan9]

I've only played it a couple hours so far, but I'm terribly disappointed with Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the "best video games everrr" post many of you mentioned it being the "perfect" game. Someone tell me what's so great about this game? Does it get better later on?

I loved the NES Zelda, the SNES Link to the Past, and even the gameboy Link's Awakening. I can't really say what it is about those games I enjoy, other than they are fun to play. I'm quickly losing interest in this one.

I don't even know where I'm going right now. I'm in a graveyard and given some hint about shining a light. I have no candles, torches, or anything to light up. I hate to use walkthroughs on these games, but I'm lost. I've already had to look at the walkthrough to solve some of the earlier puzzles. Too many of these damn puzzles... maybe that's the problem.
