Game Hunter III rates this game: 5/5Pretty sweet game. One of the most legendary game ever made, in my opinion. For the most part, it's a puzzle solving game with a few fights along the way to keep you entertained. You play as "Link" (or whatever you choose to name yourself) and set about saving the world, as the usual in games. What makes this game interesting is it's (spoilers, look away) Time traveling feature. You can travel to before evil took over, and after evil took over and set things up for yourself in the past for the future. And remember, if you ever get stuck, you can always cheat by looking up F.A.Q.s online. Which if you've never played a Zelda game, you probably will.
72naruto72 rates this game: 5/5This is a great game and is very entertaining and fun. Considering it has so many things that you can do, I rated this game 5/5. The game itself has a long amount of gameplay and these were very good graphics in 1998, (the year it cam out for Nintendo 64). Nintendo was very detailed with what happens in the game, fo instance if you don't touch any buttons for a while then he will yawn and shake his arms exactly like a normal kid would. The music in this song is also very nice, and you can listen to different ones when you want. "The Legend of Zelda", has always had a great set of music, but The Ocarinia of Time, in my opinion, has the best. The way the had the combat was also very detailed to, The amount of weapons posiible is greater than any "Legend of Zelda" title before that. If you liked my description I encourage you to post one of your own.
LOZOOT1337 rates this game: 5/5Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time is often acronymed (LOT - OOT). It has been one of the best games ever made, even the Classic Zelda games are still being played! If you have loved the Classic, then you will love this! First of all, Download Project 1.6 or 1.7. Then after that Download this game immediately, I promise you wont regret it. Lastly, Play! You will not regret downloading this ROM. One of the best games can be played on your PC! The game is not modified, unless YOU! Modify it.. with cheats! There are cheats and you can levitate, change tunic color and boots, etc. This makes the game more fun.. if you have beaten the game already. Play this game with Project 1.6 - 1.7 and you will have good times with Cheats and playing the game without cheats. You will not stop playing (I hope.) and you will love it until this game is forgotten.. hopefully not. What a good game.
Mystic Apprentice rates this game: 5/5This is without a doubt the best Legend of Zelda, and possibly the best game for the N64, ever made.
I had come from playing A Link to the Past before trying out The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and I was amazed.
The game play is amazing. You start out as Link as a child, and unlike RPG games, it is all action so it takes more than strategizing to make your way through this game. All the sword fights have to be done by the player, unlike the final fantasy series where you simply choose an attack from the menu.
All of the dungeons and towns in Zelda are unique, meaning that it's not the same town over and over again, only with a new name and a different color scheme ;) Each place is quite memorable with it's own set of characters and landmark distinctions. It was nice because they incorporated bits of the older Zelda games into this one, yet it was a totally new, refreshing story.
This game gets hard fast. It would seem almost impossible to get through some places without a strategy guide. So you might want to turn around and buy one the moment you get the game to save yourself hours of frustration stuck in a dungeon, at least to reference with on occasion. But don't let that turn you off, the game is absolutely amazing and blows all the other Zelda titles away!
Brazil Rules rates this game: 5/5This is one of those game that don't go away from our minds, it was a huge breakthrough like other games for the N64 because it turned a series well known and loved by adding one more dimension,the third. Many people complain that this one broke the Zelda series because it should be top view, but letting beside fanboy -ish complains this is one master piece from nintendo and really stays true to the series. A must for who never played.
