    Undeniably flawless, and quite possibly the best game I'v ever played. I think the reviewers had it in a nutshell when they said people would still be talking about it 5 or 10 years afterward (And playing it too. I went through it again for the hell of it only a month ago). Simply put, if you'v never played this game, then you are doing yourself a great disfavour.

While Majoras Mask can be hard to get into, OoT pulls you in from the start. It's the depth and immersiveness which makes this game so great, that tantalising quality which makes you just want to explore everything to the full, and get such wonderful enjoyment while doing it. And even once you've done that you still want to go and play it again... and again. Superb stuff.… Expand

    As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best, if not thee best games ever made. Even when i defeated the game i just erased my file and started over. Its so big that you can do just that and still have fun.

    This is the best game ever. The graphics are excellent, and sometimes you feel like your Link himslef. The scares are first-rate as well (especially the Royal Family's Tomb... That was so frightenting!) I don't know how anyone could have the brains to give it a 6 or lower.

    Geez it's a good game but I don't think it deserves a 98 overall! The graphics (even for their time) were a little muddy and low polygon, and some of the gameplay elements were rather contrived. plus it's sort of short. Don't get me wrong, it's probably the first game of it's kind, and the gameplay itself is amazingly intuitive, and the dungeon design isGeez it's a good game but I don't think it deserves a 98 overall!

    This game rules! Even though I couldn't finish it because I had a faulty one, I still really enjoyed it, it also has a great storyline to go with it.

    Do I really need to say anything? The best game ever made for systems of the 32- and 64-bit era in any genre. An immersive world, amzing graphics and music, awesome controls (Z-targeting and C Button attacking), and tons of side quests make this game a must have for not just adventure fans, but for anyone who has ever played a video game.

    The losers that thought Majora's Mask was better are crazy as hell, no offense, I mean my five year old brother could write a story better than Majoras Mask's story, and the funny thing is he doesn't know how to write, the only improvement to Majora's Mask is the way you jump. This one is an old classic, with great gameplay and story I have beat it eight times and i The losers that thought Majora's Mask was better are crazy as hell, no offense, I mean my five year old brother could write a story better than Majoras Mask's story, and the funny thing is he doesn't know how to write, the only improvement to Majora's Mask is the way you jump.

    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.
