The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

WOW!!!! Wot a great game. Zelda 64 is a landmark in gaming. It has stunning visuals, a great orchestral soundtrack, immense involvement and more importantly brilliant fun. An expierience not a game. All those Final Fantasy 7 and 8 lovers start crying now because Zelda Gaiden is on its way!!!!!!!!

I awoke on a warm December morning, 1998, and there lying on my desk was a golden rectangular box. Even though I was excited, I had know idea what I was inserting into my Nintendo 64. From that morning my view of video games had changed. Playing that game was like observing a piece of art.

Every aspect in the game is incredible, from the new visually stunning 3-D concept to the adventures that Link must surpass.

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time in my opinion is the greatest game ever, I believe that even in the many years to come of video gaming, this Masterpiece could not be toppled.

This game is absolutely flawless, full stop. There is a lot to do, like being a merchant, fisherman, saviour of the world, and collector. This is a pretty hard game, so don't expect to have completed it all a week after purchase. Because of this game, Nintendo are my favourite game company, Microsoft's XBox coming a close second.

I have found that this is hard to get for the N64, but I have found plenty of the special edition Wind Wakers, which have Ocarina of Time in the box as well.

If you still have an N64 and have found this game cheap, get it! 10/10

I only wish that Majora's Mask was like this, it was good but not great.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the most fantastic game ever created in history. The storyline captures our attention and emotions. Link, Zelda, Malon, Saria, Darunia and everyone else are almost real and amazing. Nintendo did its greatest job ever! The graphics and land of Hyrule are breathtaking. The song is something I've never expected to hear. It's fantastic, it's extremely dramatic, especially the opera tunes that play when we witness the Creation of Hyrule or prepare to receive a Medallion at the Chamber of the Sages. The Ocarina is the best tool of the game. I love to play it, especially the songs we learn through Sheik. No game, not even Super Mario 64, not even Goldeneye, not even Jedi Knight, not even the original Legends of Zelda (A Link to the Past-1991, The Legend of Zelda-1986) will ever be able to overcome a game that has become a legend. It's the greatest creation in history. Nintendo will never be surpassed by Sega or Sony. It's the BEST!!!

A little while ago, I gave this game a bad review. Boy was I wrong at the time, and now I stand corrected. As quality goes, this is the BEST game I have ever played! There are still a few complaints, but other games have even more.

First of all, the graphics aren't the best out there. The characters look better than in many other games, but backgrounds still don't match up to Super Mario 64. But at least you can go there this time. There are no voices except Navi's annoying "Hey!", but that's a minor complaint. And finally, the biggest flaw is that you can't fight bosses anymore, which is a big pity. That means the only thing you can do after beating this game is to start another file over.

But now that we're done with the rants, let's get to the good stuff.

TLoZ: OoT has the biggest 3D world I have ever seen! They've got a giant volcano, a huge lake, a desert, a forest etc. And each place is filled with villains and people to interact with.

And each of the 8 dungeons Link must play through are nicely designed with intricate puzzles and wonderful music. In fact, the entire game has nice music. Kudos to Koji Kondo there.

The control system takes some getting used to, but once you get used to it, you'll find out it works very well. Some people complain about the lack of an auto-jump, but I find that it works quite well. The Z-targeting system is a good way to fight your enemies. It adds realism to your fights.

This game is also long. It would have taken me over 100 hours to beat if I didn't have a cheat sheet. Overall, in my opinion, as far as quality goes, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time snatches the title of best game away from Soul Calibur, both of which were given 10s by more critics than any other games.
