    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.

    Although "Wind Waker" could be a huge disappointment, Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master's Quest won't be.
  6. Game Revolution

    A port handled as well as this comes up practically as often as a deal like this. Bear in mind, it's still a port, and noticeably aged compared to brand new RPGs. But it's still a terrific game.

    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.
  9. N-Insanity

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

    A sign that Nintendo is listening to the fans! The only major downside is that the graphics show their age. [Import]
  11. Cheat Code Central
    80
    If you've played Ocarina more than once, you should really enjoy the new twists and turns that Master Quest offers.
