    Creo que no hay nada que decir y todo esta dicho, fue una revolución, y a los que le ponen una mala critica por los controles o los gráficos... es un juego que se estreno en 1998.... y los que dicen que la historia es mala, no se que juego habréis jugado.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is fantastic. Controls are great and simple. Everything about this game is excellent. Well, except for maybe the water temple. Otherwise, the dungeons are great. Gohma and King Dodongo are very easy, Morpha is underwhelming, but other than those, the bosses are great. The story is also cool. The concept of time travel is executed greatly. I can see it's bad graphics, but it came out in 1998, so that's why. It's an amazing game that you should play… Expand

    As the name says The Legend of Zelda has lived up to its full potential becoming an everlasting experience that has aged perfectly fine, even to this day getting your hands on an original copy of this game feels truly magical like the first time I played it back on the Nintendo 64 era. Gaming industry wouldn’t be the same without this monster of the game, arguably the best game ever made.

Тогда в 98-ом, тут уже была реализована смена дня и ночи в 3d, введена функция захвата цели одной кнопкой, и конечно была уже лошадь, вызываемая по свистку, которая станет позже обязательным атрибутом многих открытых миров. Сюжет хоть и был довольно простой, но сопровождался обилием кинематографических вставочек на движке игры. Особенно порадовала демонстрация эмоций персонажей через сменяющие друг друга модельки лиц, для тех времён вполне неплохо. Графика хоть в целом и слабенька, но высокое внимание к деталям это дело компенсирует сполна.

    Трудно представить, насколько круто окарина времени воспринималась тогда, если даже сейчас она неплохо играется, разве что управление и камера могут показаться неудобными, но это мелочи. У нас тут небольшой, зато компактный мир, где на каждом шагу либо секретка, либо мини игра. Линк постоянно приобретает всё новые и новые инструменты, от грамотного использования которых и зависит продвижение дальше, так что всё завязано на внимательности и смекалки игрока, а не на прокачке чего либо. Можно конечно качать здоровье через поиск секретных сердечек, но это не более чем дополнительные права на ошибку. В общем, образцовая игра от нинтендо и довольно знаковая для индустрии в целом.    … Expand

    Alright now seriously, this game is just amazing. The story is interesting, the graphics aren't very good but the Nintendo 64 isn't that powerful so that doesn't count as a bad thing about the game, the dungeons are great and well designed (that counts the water temple as well), and the gameplay isn't as bad as everyone else    Absolute masterpiece.

This was the first 3D Zelda game and they somehow got everything right. The music... even the soundtrack is a masterpiece on its own. I used prefer Majora's Mask over Ocarina of Time, but I changed my mind when I played this a few months ago. Everyone keeps comparing this to BotW, but if it wasn't because of this game, BotW wouldn't even exist. This game created the 3D Zelda gameplay we all know and love. If you are going to complain about the graphics, then play Ocarina of Time 3D and stop complaining about it. I think that's all I have to say. You should definetly play this. Even today I don't even know what makes it so special and addicting, and I've played it 3 times by now.    … Expand

Ocarina of Time essentially is a generally all-round interesting, good looking (for the tech it was built on at the time but also still graphically holds up to this day especially with 3ds ports) games that has one of the most fun gameplay mechanics that changes up, really challenging puzzles and a really iconic storyline, I'd say it's one of the best games that covers every sort of thing you could want from a game, honestly I'd give it an obvious 10 for it's time and even now as a 20 something plus year old game as it's still a 10/10 video game that stands the tests of time. I really don't need to keep going with this review as the game will speak for itself if you don't have it on any sort of system or have never played it before in your life you are seriously missing out on one of the most iconic games in Video Game History.

    Highly Recommend.    … Expand

    It is 2022 and this 1998 game is still probably the best video game of all time. I guess that’s up to debate but nothing else really needs to be said. If you haven’t played it, try it out and you’ll almost certainly enjoy it. Game is timeless.

    Still one of the very best Zelda titles to this day, Ocarina of Time brought the franchise into 3D in glorious fashion. While it uses the tried-and-true blueprint established by its masterful predecessor, A Link to the Past, it reinvents combat in a satisfying way and utilizes its addition dimension to great effect.

    I played the game when I was 10 years old (in 2017) and it still remains my favourite ever video game.
    People say that the graphics and combat are outdated, and do not currently live up to what they once provided in 1998, but I disagree. They are unique, playable and if you give them a chance, it is very easy to get used to them.

    The story is by far the best out of every other game I've played. Even without the technology and budget available to them now, Nintendo were able to tell a unique, thought-provoking story that is memorable and interesting. Even now, years after playing the game for the first time, I can still remember every little detail about the story that I thought made it wonderful.

    The game has some undeniable flaws: The Water Temple is a bit tedious, there are two parts of the game that can feel a bit too cryptic, and Navi, a side character that serves as a guide for the player, is annoying.

    However, the game has far more pros than cons.

    The gameplay is fun. Combat isn't difficult, but neither is it too easy. It feels intuitive and easy to get used to.

    The story is amazing. An expanding world with interesting side characters and a story easy to follow, I can't help but consider this my favorite Zelda story. Its simplicity allows a lot to be desired, but also a lot that is fulfilled.

    The challenges the game brings are not too hard, but neither is it easy. It's fun solving what to do and how to do it.

    The world is small yet potent. There's surprisingly so much to do and lays a foundation for future Zelda titles, despite Hyrule being its smallest compared to the rest of the Zelda games.

    And the best part of the game: the tone. The feeling you get playing the game is that of child-like wonder and a genuine sense of adventure. It can be serious when it needs to, funny, happy, and scary, and yet never does it feel like one tone overrides the other.

    And the gameplay (as i said) is the best part of the game, and easily compliments the story.

    Overall, the game is a 10/10
