    The best game I have ever played.

    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.

    Best Video-Game Ever

    Never has a game captivated and engulfed me in its world so much as Ocarina of Time did.Every little detail is perfect from the huge dungeons which are contained in a massive world where every one in it can be interacted with. The only game i have been upset at completing, it left an unbearable hole in my life when i had finished it. You may think this is over the top slightly, but wait to you play it, and finish it. Its a masterpiece sculpted by a genius, sublime.

    A Legend that will never die

    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 Masterpiece. The Greatest Game In Existence

    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.

    After almost 10 Years it remains the greatest game of all time

    Although I'm not sure why they show video games on the iMovie Database, I still feel inclined to review this game.

    It's been almost ten years since this masterpiece was released on the N64 (which I was still playing 2005, I didn't have a Gamecube and my 360 had broken too many times), and no game has managed to beat its remarkable storyline, its great gameplay, and its adventurous feel.

    There are many parts of this game which make it the greatest game in the world, but I only want to touch on a few. First off, this game has amazing graphics for its time, and each object was quite detailed compared to other games of the mid-90's. Another aspect of the game which adds to its superiority is the huge landscape and available areas to explore. There are numerous side quests which provide the player with lots of fun even after the game has been completed. There are many villages and towns to traverse, and Hyrule Field is immense and full of secret locations and hidden items (keep in mind that I'm not comparing this to Twilight Princess, which is much more immense).

    I could spend hours talking about the great cutscenes and fun parts of the game, but since this game is classic and you can find a much more in depth review on many a game info site, I'll end the comment here. If you have a Wii, you MUST purchase this from the Virtual Console!

    • Trivia
      Kaepora Gaebora, the large owl who supports and informs Link throughout his adventure, has been confirmed to be the physical form of Rauru, the Sage of Light. Link meets Rauru in the Chamber of the Sages, the first time when he pulls out the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. According to the series' lore, Rauru built the Temple of Time and remained inside the Chamber of the Sages to protect the Triforce, with the owl as his way to communicate with the outside world. Headmaster Gaepora from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011) is rumored to be a direct ancestor of Rauru (as both men look very alike and are very knowledgeable).

      During the party at Lon Lon Ranch during the end credits, there are several Kokiri around. However, if what one Kokiri says earlier in the game is to be believed, no Kokiri can leave the Kokiri Forest, or they'll vanish. Saria is an exception, since she's a sage, but if what that other Kokiri said is true, the Kokiri that are at the party shouldn't have been able to attend. It's possible the story of Kokiri vanishing if they leave the forest, however, may have just been a false superstition.

    • Alternate versions
      A common misconception is that only the gold version of the cartridge represented the first version of the game. In reality, a limited number of Version 1.0 gray cartridges were produced following the gold version preorders, before various elements of the game were tweaked, such as the Fire Temple music and Ganon's blood color.
