    Old game, make way for new things.
    Zelda isn't a relatable character and the game is way too long for no reason. Too many puzzles.

    As someone who didn't play this game when I was younger and have the bias of it being a game I played when I was young, I can't stand this game. I very much understand why someone who played this game when it came out, or when they were a child would love it so much. But coming from a person playing it in the year 2022, this game just isn't fun. I really don't think I dislike the game asAs someone who didn't play this game when I was younger and have the bias of it being a game I played when I was young, I can't stand this game.

But coming from a person playing it in the year 2022, this game just isn't fun. I really don't think I dislike the game as much as I'm putting here, but for how much love this game gets I think that definitely brings it down. For me its at a point where its not at a retro point where its simplicity is fun, or at a modern point where exploration feels exciting and interesting. It's in between in a really gross area where everything feels janky and outdated in a horrible way. I very much understand why people like the game, but to me this just is not it.… Expand

    Adventure is fun, but does not hold up well. Water temple is beyond annoying, camera is beyond revolting, and is often hard to understand what is ok to do, and what is not. What i mean by that is, sometimes it wants you to experiment, but then it punishes you when you get something wrong, which ironically discourages exploration.

    Overrated as **** Believe it or not, the majority of people who like this game do so because of nostalgia. The gameplay is very dull and boring compared to modern games.

    Переоцененная дичь даже для своего времени. Отсутствие сюжета. Никакущий графон и музыкальное сопровождение на фоне конкурентов.

    Outdated and bland. While this may have at one time presented new and interesting ideas, they are not at all engaging or fantastic from a modern perspective. Coupling this with poorly executed mechanics, frustrating tedium, and an uninteresting world, Ocarina of Time is best passed up for future games in the series or even for other games entirely.

    Worst Game Ever Made...Honestly. the graphics are puke inducing. the game is long and way too drawn out. and its just not pleasing to sit and play for hours. SKIP AT ALL COSTS! It does not hold up what so ever.

    This game has no right to be the best game ever. The damn thing didn't hold up when was released and will never do. You're better off with Tetris or Half Life 2.

    Majora's Mask is better. Its less confusing and has a better, darker story. The gameplay is better and so are the controls.

    I personally believe that a game should be rated for how well it aged and how good it is today, and personally, I don't think it passed that mark.

    This game doesn't hold up at all. Has a very generic story, and is only popular today because people look at it with nostalgia goggles. Don't waste your time with it

    I never saw the appeal of this game. A Link to the Past was far superior in my opinion. Z-Targeting was a good concept but poorly executed, a lot of the issues I have with the game are simply products of 3d being a new concept in '98. An important game in gaming history, but it has aged poorly and some of the poor design choice are highlighted because of it.

    Bad controls, uninteresting story, uninteresting game play. It's good for its time, but it has aged horribly. Not to mention I don't find the style or formula for the Zelda series fun at all.

    Played this back in 1999, bought into all the hype. Color me bored. Fun lasted all about one day, then things got really repetitive, I hated learning to playing the songs, dealing with cartoonish characters, and unexciting action.

    The player will be drawn into the Zelda fantasy world from the moment the opening sequence bursts onto the screen, and the game won't let go-not even after finishing the quest.

    Realism is one of the major reasons this title is so amazing. After playing for a while it feels as though you have actually been to Hyrule.

    Featuring unparalleled 3D environments, a deep and involved quest, brilliant and intuitive play controls, and a well-developed cinematic quality that enhances rather than overwhelms the whole game experience, Miyamoto's latest soon-to-be-classic title deserves to be played by each and every person who might deign to consider themselves a fan of great games.
