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.
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.
Stickgoncraz rates this game: 5/5If you haven't played Zelda - Ocarina of Time. Then your missing out, BIG TIME, there are alot of good games for the N64, but this is without a doubt, the best, maybe even the best game ever created. If all N64 games & emulators suddenly disappeared and this was the only 1 left, it would be worth downloading & playing. The controls would take a little getting used to, I recommend the emulator "Project64 1.7", it has all the cheats already in there, you can just pick which ones you want to play with, and if your not used to their controls, you can change them. Zelda - Ocarina of Time, might be very complicated if you've never played, or beaten it, but you can look up a walkthrough if you have no idea what to do. It has some of the greatest gameplay ever, from catching chickens, to auto aiming, and riding horses, to defeating "wierdly shaped" bosses. You can even editing how Link looks, in the cheat section, and also you can basically make it so you have everything from the start with cheats. But the overall game is amazing, good graphics (For A N64 Game), and the greatest gameplay ever. In the game you have to save Zelda from an evil force, whos name is Gandorf, and stop him from taking over the Zelda universe, with the help of your fairy Navi. You must get 3 "gems" and put them into a temple, or I guess the Hyrule church, and then pull the sword from the ground, and become an adult, which later you will find, that Hyrule has been destroyed and is enhabited with zombies. You must travel to dungeons with amazing gameplay to defeat Gandorf and other bosses. Overall, the gameplay is amazing and fun, a little complicated though, and then graphics are amazing in Zelda for the N64, and the bosses and enemies are interesting, and with the cheats, it can be alot easier and more fun. I recommend downloading this and playing it, even if you don't want an emulator, I recommend this, and if you have a N64 emulator, and not have this game, then download it NOW! It is worth it, completely. Trust me, it's Zelda...
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.
SushiBrawl rates this game: 5/5When this game came out on the N64, it blew away my expectations. It still stands today as one of my favorite single player games of all time. You play as a young Kokori boy named Link who is destined to become the hero of time and defeat the evil Ganondorf. Along the way, you must clear dungeons which are full of monsters, exploring and puzzles. You will be armed with a ton of weapons which add to the experience and not to mention the gigantic world of Hyrule you have to explore. This game is a defenite get and I suggest you start playing this game now. 5/5
