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!
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.

Justin rates this game: 5/5The Legend of Zelda is such a famous game that I don't think to many need to be assured its good. However if your new to the series or have never played Ocarina of time I can tell you this is for sure you need to play this game. Ocarina of time was one of the first games ever to alow the player to control camera movements using the "Z"-button targeting system, this in turn makes for better gameplay.
Ocarina of time is the only Zelda game in wich you play as young link and mature into adult, and it is also the first to use musical melodies as part of the gameplay. The characters in this game are very memerable even those who apear only once in the entire game.The only way I can summerize this game is as the best Zelda game ever.
Brendoge rates this game: 5/5Before you get yours hands on the 3DS remake, go back to where it all began with The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time on the N64. It was a stunning revolution in gaming excellence under story and gameplay. The graphics were beautifully integrated - a masterpiece in gaming history 101.
