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.
Mega Man Retro Gamer rates this game: 5/5Oh The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this considered to be one of the fan favorites of the series and not just a fan fav, also considered to be the best game of all time, this game is a true 3D environment and this is franchise's first jump to 3D and it became a fan favorite so QUICKLY, damn that's surprising, and besides every popular franchise that made the first jump to 3D is a fan fav, for instance, Super Mario 64, the plumber's first jump to 3D and that is a masterpiece and look at Sonic Adventure 1 that is a Sonic fan favorite and also liked by Sega fanboys, too, but I'm a Nintendo fanboy so I like Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64. Ahh, Nintendo, you are also a game developer pop star right up there with Capcom, but Ocarina of Time though I give it a 10/10 this game is awesome, a must have for the N64.
Sargon The Knight says:Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is a best game as it has a fabulous story and nice 3D graphics. It is the first 3d Zelda game released in 1998, developed by Nintendo.
In this game the ocarina plays a great role as the entire game has a great role in it and also Master sword, which just sends the Hero Link to future about seven years forward.
The storyline is like this as the three goddesses create this world and when they flew away through sky it creates three triforce. These triforce hold the Power, Wisdom and Courage. The evil sorceror Ganon stole the triforce of power and Zelda the princess holds the triforce of wisdom and link holds the triforce power of courage. The evil lord ganon just tries to get all these power to rule over the world but here the seven sages have to shut and seal him inside a realm, for which they need a hero Link to save Hyrule.
Holk rates this game: 3/5As someone who has been playing Zelda games since the original was released on the NES, I feel like I know the series well. That said, The Ocarina of Time is a good game. It isn't the best game ever made, and it isn't even the best Zelda game.
Ocarina suffers from what I call "Final Fantasy VII Disorder". This is when a game in a series is the first that many people played. Since the series in general is well-made, people usually have fond memories of the game that introduced them to said series.
Ocarina has many great things going for it. The dungeons are vast, and boss battles amount to the sum of the skills you've been practicing throughout those dungeons. The game's simple mechanics work so well together that the game is more than the sum of its parts.
It does, however, suffer from the same thing that most games of this nature do. The camera gets in the way, box-pushing puzzles abound, etc.
The game is good, yes, but it isn't perfect. No game is. It is a fun diversion that will last you a few hours. Its just another example of over-hyping. If you like it, I recommend playing A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker.
Jay rates this game: 4/5This particular Zelda game has been my favourite since I was little. It always keeps you entertained. For all the years I've played it, never a bored moment.
