    I played the remaster first but in the same way it seems to me a game that presented new mechanics The truth is if you want to play a game, from my point of view I would recommend The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time.

    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 game's beautifully designed environments, rich with detail and secrets, created an immersive experience that felt like a true adventure. Exploring the vast landscapes, from the lush forests to the treacherous mountains, was a joy in itself.

    The gameplay in Ocarina of Time is nothing short of exceptional. The introduction of the targeting system revolutionized combat, making battles intense and strategic. The clever puzzles found within the dungeons challenged my wits and rewarded careful observation and problem-solving. The game seamlessly blended exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving, resulting in a cohesive and engaging experience.

    One of the most memorable aspects of Ocarina of Time is its iconic music. The melodies of the ocarina still echo in my mind, evoking a sense of nostalgia and adventure. The soundtrack perfectly complements the game's different moods, enhancing the emotional impact of each moment. The melodic tunes and haunting melodies are a testament to the game's enduring legacy.

    The story of Ocarina of Time is an epic and captivating journey. As Link, players witness the rise of the villainous Ganondorf and the desperate quest to save the land of Hyrule. The narrative is filled with memorable characters, each with their own motivations and roles to play. The time-traveling mechanic adds a layer of complexity and intrigue, keeping players engaged as they navigate between different eras.

    Visually, Ocarina of Time has aged gracefully. While the graphics may not match the standards of today's games, the art direction and attention to detail are commendable. The distinct character designs, atmospheric lighting, and carefully crafted environments still hold up, immersing players in a world that feels alive and vibrant.

    Can there be such a thing as absolute perfection? If there is, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time epitomizes it in the gaming world. Released in 1998, this game set the bar impossibly high, forever transforming our perceptions of what games could be. This monumental achievement transitioned us from the conventional 2D animations to a universe where games not only paralleled our world but transcended it.

    The plot is the heart and soul of Ocarina of Time. Its storyline is a zenith in the Zelda franchise that, even in 2023, remains unsurpassed. Apologies to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom devotees, but Ocarina of Time simply plays in a league of its own.

    The game weaves a narrative that is as simple as it is complex, gracefully juggling themes rooted in Shinto, restoration of natural order, the inexorable passage of time, and the bitter necessities of premature adulthood. It tells a profound coming-of-age tale of a young boy thrust into adulthood to combat an evil only conquerable by an adult. This saga outshines any other coming-of-age story in existence.

    Ocarina of Time also stands as an exceptional example of 'showing' rather than 'telling'. In contrast to the contemporary norm of feeding audiences beliefs, this game brilliantly showcases scenarios that allow players to formulate their own understanding. It’s a testament to the game’s integrity, a quality significantly lacking in many contemporary games and movies. Ocarina of Time upholds integrity in its purest form, a trait that adds to the game's unique allure.

    The auditory experience of the game is nothing short of magical. Each soundtrack is a masterpiece, acting as the perfect companion to the narrative, painting an immersive atmosphere that bridges the divide between imagination and reality. From the enchanting melody of the Kokiri Forest, the haunting echoes of the Shadow Temple, to the inspiring tunes of Hyrule Field, the music score brings each scene alive with an intensity that is simply extraordinary.

    To say that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is legendary would be an understatement. For decades since its release, no game, even within its own franchise, has been able to replicate the magic that Ocarina of Time so effortlessly captured. It's a lightning-in-a-bottle phenomenon that holds a unique, untouchable position in gaming history.

    I can't urge you enough to play this game if you haven't yet. It's more than just an entertaining pastime; it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that transcends the traditional boundaries of video gaming. Gift it to someone, or better still, play it with your children. Words, even as glowing as these, do scant justice to the magnificence of Ocarina of Time. It truly is a game that must be experienced to be appreciated.    … Expand

    Nicht ohne Grund ist es auf Platz 1 auf Metacritic. Bei diesem Spiel merkt man wirklich das viel Liebe rein gesteckt wurde.
    Ich kann mir gar nicht vorstellen was für ein wichtiger Meilenstein das in der Gaming Geschichte gewesen sein muss.

    An amazing classic game. One of my personal all time favorite games. This game was the foundation for many Zelda games to come in the future until the formula was change by breath of the wild. Still a highly recommended game till this day and will forever be one of the greats in gaming history.

    For the most acclaimed game in the world, I can say that it surpassed my expectations in every single way. It’s phenomenal in every way. The only thing that doesn’t hold up is the graphics but that’s expected from a game made in 1998 for the Nintendo 64.

    até hoje é o melhor jogo de todos os tempos sem discussão, diferente dos filminhos soníferos da sony que os fãboys baba ovo só porque é exclusivo, esse jogo de fato merece a melhor nota do site.    … 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.

    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.
