    The story and game play are ever bit as interesting and compelling as they were when the game was originally released in 1998. [Mar 2003, p.134]

    The controls in the GC versions of Zelda are airtight, even more fluid and responsive than the originals on the N64... The coolest bonus disk ever!

    It's the cream of the crop, it's the Halo, the GTA Vice City and the Half-Life 2 of Nintendo, and it's not to be missed.

    Fans of Ocarina will love diving back into one of the best games ever, only with new dungeons. It's hard to say which is better, but if you love a challenge, Master Quest will satisfy your craving.

    Points off for the lazy port -- but rest assured that Ocarina of Time has lost little of its luster, the Master Quest is a wonderful bonus for returning players.

    Luckily, the sound more than makes up for any graphical shortcomings.

    If you've played Ocarina more than once, you should really enjoy the new twists and turns that Master Quest offers.

If I could I would rate it 11/10. Impossible? I remember to this day the first time I played it and I fell in love with the Zelda Series. Immediately the beauty of the music, the fantasy of Hyrule, the adventures of Link. They did many things to me, but the best thing is that...I believe!… Expand

At first it starts like the regular Ocarina of Time, but as soon as you enter the first dungeon in the Great Deku Tree, you realize right away that this is going to be a much tougher challenge than the regular Ocarina of Time. Only the dungeon layouts have changed in Master Quest as everything else the including the same masterpiece story remains the same as the original Ocarina of Time.… Expand
