    Подземелья в этой игре выполнены на должном уровне, каждое по-своему уникально, заставляет думать и искать подходы к боссам.
    Музыкальное сопровождение в этой игре заслуживает отдельного внимания, каждая композиция подобрана грамотно в зависимости от ситуации и позволяет проникнуться атмосферой игры в каждом её периоде. Сама же сказочная стилистика игры с её желанием развить в тебе характер исследователя погружает тебя в детство, в то время, когда всё казалось интересным и неизведанным, современные игры с открытым миром не могут тебе это предложить ввиду излишнего оказуаливания и отсутствия новых идей.

    Да, эта игра действительно заслуживает свою оценку, лично я снизил 1 балл лишь за бектрекинг, но он там настолько незначительный, что большинство сочтут его за логичный манёвр игры, чтобы ты ещё лучше мог познакомиться со старыми локациями в этом маленьком, но таком большом мире.    … Expand

    Yet OOT went beyond that. It was much more than a game, yet a carefully packaged set of morals, values, and ideals. No other video game has had the same imprint and impact on the psyche of those who played it. OOT instilled values of protecting the helpless, understanding what it means to grow up, valuing harmony in nature and among people, respecting differences, and using one's abilities for good. OOT was a great gift that helps bring people together, in an incredibly intuitive, enjoyable, and challenging manner.

    The emotions it illicits, through the triumphs and growth of link, to the development of the relationships, Ocarina of Time teaches us about life and about being human. Now, how many video games have done that?    … Expand

Widely regarded as one of the first 'perfect games' upon its original release in 1998, the title received nearly universally perfect scores across all mediums of videogame press and cemented itself as one of (if not) the most revolutionary and culturally impactful videogames in history.

    Never had a videogame overwhelmed and exceeded the promises of even its most die-hard fans and critics. Because of this the title received one of the highest reviewed welcomes in the history of the videogame industry and has even until today managed to hold onto the "Greatest Game' title and good faith over 25 years later.

    Today Ocarina of Time seems both dated and simple in scale... and that is a good thing. The title essentially laid the entire blueprint for the game industry going forward and is the very DNA that every 3D game and open-world title today can trace itself back too. The fact that we have such beautiful games today and have managed to nearly perfect 3D gameplay and systems, means that Ocarina of Time succeeded in inspiring far more than simply perfect scores and glowing reviews in 1998.

    This title stands as an example of what trying something new and taking risks can achieve... and how to do so while not neglecting your audience, or what has always worked. For that this game continues to be beloved and continue to receive scores not based on how it compares to the best games of THIS decade; but to everything before it, and to anything that has ever tried to influence the medium as much as it ultimately did.

    Even now its old bones still continue to hold the attention of young newcomers curious as to what its hollowed code holds for them. Even as primitive as it may be now: it still has solid gameplay, some of the best dungeons in the franchise, haunting music, and an adventure truly worthy of the Hero of Time.    … Expand

I 100% agree with people on those terms, but I think people oversight some issues the game has.

    Ocarina has a lot of great gameplay mechanics, and a lot of poor ones — It's best attribute is it's fast movement, fluid controls, and unique ideas like the longshot, hookshot. But sometimes the jumping can be a messy situation. It manges to have a lot, a lot of replayability just so you can find all the heart pieces, golden skulls, and finish those side quests. But my biggest gripe with the game that holds me back from replaying is... The Water Temple. I know that's controversial, but it's entirely true. I have a hard time with some puzzle games, but this one stomped me at first. You have to continuously swap out between the metal boots and your kokiri boots which becomes tedious after awhile.

    I do understand why everyone loves this game, but sometimes the praise seems over deserved. I personally am astonished at all of the work, effort, and time that has went into Ocarina and especially the people that make ROM hacks, mods, and all that to show their dedication to this game and it's fandom.

    I hope the spark never dies out for Ocarina and it continues to live on as one of the greatest if not best game of all time.    … Expand

    la verdad me parece un juego bastante redondo, su influencia en innegable y aunque hay mejores juegos y no es perfecto, es muy magico, como influencio el " Z-TARGETING", era lo mas mundo abierto en el momento que salio, la historia es bastante buena, no tan compleja pero buena y consistente, tal vez de los juegos que vale la pena jugar antes de morir, es sin duda, el THE LEGEND OF ZELDA,la verdad me parece un juego bastante redondo, su influencia en innegable y aunque hay mejores juegos y no es perfecto, es muy magico, como influencio el " Z-TARGETING", era lo mas mundo abierto en el momento que salio, la historia es bastante buena, no tan compleja pero buena y consistente, tal vez de los juegos que vale la pena jugar antes de morir, es sin duda, el THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, mas zelda, obviamente no es el primero, ni el ultimo, ni el mejor, pero si piensan en la formula zelda, es ocarina of time.… Expand

    One of the best games ever made, certainly one of the best I’ve ever played. Ocarina of time is an all around thrill with hundreds of unique characters and lots of personality. I personally think it is one of the best games for story, but it’s side quests are great to

    I was never a fan of turning everything 3D just because you could, and Zelda is a classic example. The 3D environment just meant that it takes much longer to get anywhere, hidden passages can be too hard to find and the maps can be very confusing making it too easy to get lost.

Es el mejor juego que jugué en mi vida, los gráficos a pesar de que son de hace 25 años no te cansan, la jugabilidad es increíble siempre con nuevas mecánicas y teniendo que cambiar la linea temporal para hacer cosas que afectan a la otra linea del tiempo y por ultimo la musica, es posiblemente la mas adictiva de la historia de los videojuegos, el tema de saria es un temon, sin olvidar el de la tienda, la ciudad, etc, ademas, se puede jugar por donde quieras y no pesa nada ya que perfectamente puedes jugarlo por emulador o mismamente online, todos los personajes tienen una personalidad distintiva que hace que los diálogos no suenen forzados, ademas, todo el juego en si es bastante instintivo. literalmente un juegazo… Expand

    I might be a bit biased when it comes to this review, but in my personal opinion, Zelda Ocarina of Time is perfection. Sure, a lot of things haven't aged the best with the game, but that's what happens to every game over time. Even with the flaws, and the game is still amazing. Growing up with this game for as long as I can remember has cemented everything about this game into my mind.I might be a bit biased when it comes to this review, but in my personal opinion, Zelda Ocarina of Time is perfection.

Growing up with this game for as long as I can remember has cemented everything about this game into my mind. This game might honestly have the greatest music soundtrack of all time thanks to the master composer Koji Kondo. The game mechanics have also changed the gaming landscape forever with mechanics like enemy targeting, world traversal, and sword combat. Last but absolutely not least is the games incredibly deep and impactful story. The story might seem like a story about your typical hero's journey, but there is so much more underneath. Themes about Man v. Nature and Childhood v. Adulthood can be seen with the game's subtext. The entire game is honestly an incredible journey that no one can ever forget. Once you've played this game, you'll never be the same person again. A true untouchable masterpiece.… Expand

    Medical professionals, should use the game as barometer to declare someone legally dead or not based off of whether it makes them squeal like a little girl in joy or not.

    If you hate this game I can only assume you hate puppies and happiness. Witness an open world style of play, that would inspire games for generations. Often imitated, never duplicated (except for that one time on 3DS.)    … Expand

    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.

    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.
