    When the Nintendo '64 was first introduced to the public in 1996, the game "Super Mario '64" revolutionized the gaming industry with the introduction of 3-D gaming. However, it wasn't until two years later that Nintendo really perfected the 3-D adventure genre with the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".

However, it wasn't until two years later that Nintendo really perfected the 3-D adventure genre with the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".

    "Ocarina" is, for lack of a better word, a nearly perfect game in almost every sense. The graphics are great (for N64 standards), the music is fantastic, the gameplay is smooth, and the story is incredibly engaging. Much like the Mario franchise before it, the Zelda franchise (although already somewhat established on the NES and SNES) took a simple character (Mario to Zelda), put him in an interesting environment (Mushroom Kingdom to Hyrule), and pits him against fantastic enemies.

    Of course, perhaps the true greatness of "Ocarina" is its balance between the essential gameplay and the sidequests. While this game added more depth (riding a horse, getting items that, while not vital to the outcome of the game, will help you, etc.) than any previous game in history, it also wasn't too complicated (see "Donkey Kong 64"). In the game, Link has a straight- forward mission and accomplishes each objective in sequence...you only need to pursue the frivolous things if you so desire.

    The quirkiness of the game is also charming. Along the way, Link meets a talking tree, gets trapped inside a fish's belly, befriends the roly-poly Gorons, and liberates temples that each correspond to some sort of natural theme (forest, ice, water, fire, etc.). The first time I ever played "Ocarina", and every time since, I found myself amazed by the crazy and colorful characters that Nintendo came up with for each area of the game.

    Finally, a great adventure games also needs to have an intriguing plot (i.e. the reason why the "Myst" computer game series was such a big success while its clones failed), which "Ocarina" delivers superbly. Right away, you are drawn into the storyline that includes rescuing Princess Zelda, defeating the evil Gannondorf, and bring peace to Hyrule again. I know it may sound cheesy, but without an engaging plot the game would have been little more than a sword- slashing RPG with a few puzzles thrown in.

    Thus, I recommend "Ocarina of Time" to all gamers, whether young or old, beginners or experts. The difficulty curve is set as such that you will be able to steadily improve your skills in time to defeat each obstacle before you, while enough really challenging side quests exist that you can also hone your skills to a "tee" if so desired. So whether you want to fire up the old N64, dust off the old Gamecube (for which a version of "Ocarina" was released), or buy the game on the Virtual Console of your Wii, do so with confidence that you will instantly be charmed by this amazing work of video game creation.    … Expand

    This is truly a masterpiece. The opening cinematic still gives me shivers. The boss fights are still exciting. The music is still just as great as it always was. This is a TRUE adventure - one that never seems to grow old. I wish I could relieve it again for the first time.

    The MUSIC and the SPACE from a 28mb game is absolutely mind blowing for me. I love this game more than a lot of things in life, I have a tattoo on my right shoulder, not because IM a Zelda fanatic, but because when I'm older I want to remember some happy memories in a difficult area of my adolescence.

    There's a reason why this sits on the helm of all games.

    A master piece, doing allusion to the temple of time, Ocarina of Time it is an very advanced work for his time, simply the best game of all time.

    It is a timeless work, it showed that video games can also make you mourn, laugh, that the hairs stand on end in your skin when you return to listening to his music and they can be considered art. Simply the best game ever.

A obra-prima do mundo dos jogos com toda a certeza, Oot foi um grande pilar que estabeleceu grandes coisas que jogos de mesmo hoje em dia, depois de quase 19 anos, ainda utilizam. A história é simples e envolvente, cavalgar por Hyrule é uma sensação que perpetua até hoje com grande sentimento. Tudo no jogo é bem pensado, em como os itens podem ser usados, em como derrotar inimigos e depois da passagem de tempo tudo se intensifica, os puzzles, os Bosses, a história, os personagens. Mas enfim, é fantástico, outras importantes coisas para ressaltar são: as músicas, sejam as da Ocarina ou as do Overworld, todas simplesmente tidas como trabalhos de arte, relaxantes e tornam o jogo ainda mais prazeroso; o carisma dos NPCs, visto que grande parte deles têm um papel na história, seja para oferecerem coisas adicionais ou essenciais, são úteis além disso; a engenhosidade das coisas também impressiona de cara, o jeito das músicas ajudarem no jogo, sendo de tanta importância quanto os itens é maravilhoso. Portanto, uma obra-prima atemporal, podia falar de muitos mais pontos fortes, mas só jogando para conhecer o quão incrível essa obra é.… Expand

It's hard to be unbiased when the original game had such a life-altering experience for me. Growing up and not understanding the world as a young kid and then playing a game that feels childlike and embodies that sense of wonder, that the world is way too big for you. It does a remarkable job of contrasting that with the desire to be an adult and make an impact on the world. Growing up is hard and this game nailed it as an experience. That alone makes it the greatest game of all time, not to mention the level design, animations, sounds, characters, and visuals were so new at the time is it hard to comprehend. Maybe one of the first 3D open-world games. I will play this game over and over for the rest of my life.… Expand

    Now to the game:

    Zelda - Ocarina of Time is a Masterpiece. Released in 1998 (1 Year earlier than Castlevania 64, which has awful graphics, controls and gameplay, but is comparable) it was the 2. Nintendo 64 Game with really good Controls. It was also, after Mario 64 , the first Action Adventure worth playing on Nintendo 64.

    The Game is packed full with secrets, collectables and content. You were introduced to Epona, a now iconic Horse in the Zelda Universe and could also ride it - In a fun and entertaining way.

    The characters, for the time, were scary or hilarious, entertaining or evil. You could tell pretty fast what kind of NPC you are facing, which was a challenge due the lack of high resolution textures.

    Link, the main character, was sympathic and easy to love.

    The graphics, for it times, were amazing. You felt like LIVING in Hyrule and everything you did wasnt just Link, it was you.

    The amount of dungeons was impressive. So much content for a N64 Game wasnt something you could just expect. Even compared to AAA Titles today, the Game still stands out as high class.

    To be fair, the 3D Remake for the 3DS wasnt necessary. But it gave people today the chance to play this Masterpiece, so it is absolutely fine.

    Sure, for me, this title offers also nostalgic feelings and memories of months of entertainment. But isnt that also something the game achieved? Entertain me in 98 and made me fall in love?

    The Game is dated. It is, absolutely. If you want to play it, buy the 3DS Version and enjoy a great Adventure while you are in the train, bus or at home on the couch.    … Expand

At first, it's main storyline concept is surprisingly well-developed, a balanced mix of adventure and interaction splitted between quests and dungeons that brings an deeper, darker knowledge of the game's main shot. There's a special concern on the characters' construction: all of them have personalities and, by being barely seen with expressionless faces, there is a plenty lot of them that have an inner connection with the story denouement.

    Although made by a mainly cliché story where the hero save the princess, there are countless special features that makes the game beyond primordial and original. There are also enjoyable, time-lengthy side quests which turn The Legend of Zelda in a potential replay: you could finish it five times and there would still be something yet to be unveiled. The soundtrack works at it's best to swap between a comfort zone and sadness, epic insanity moments thanks to it's awesomeness composition.

    In short, the final result is brilliantly delivered. It's touching. Emotional. Marvelous. An atemporal masterpiece. And - unquestionably - a must play.    … Expand

    This is the game that brought Hyrule into the third dimension and introduced the world to Z-Targeting (aka L-Targeting). It is a classic in every sense of the word. Ocarina of Time is filled with memorable characters and puzzle-like dungeons.

    This game is brilliant as most of these reviews will tell you but it is not perfect here is why.

Another problem I have with the game is that although all of the bosses in the game are good, not many stand out as interesting or unique. This doesn't mean they are bad however as some of them are brilliant like the sisters in the Spirit Temple and the Forest Temple boss but the others are mediocre or to simple like the first boss in the Deku Tree.

    The positives however are that the world feels unique and lived in, unlike some that feel unrealistic. Everything you do feels important no matter what the task is as you are helping a world that you can care so much about. The items are all interesting with some of the most common items in there as well. I always love to play the ocarina as all the songs are different and are brilliantly composed but that is true with every piece of music and I would sometimes find myself whistling song's like Saria's song (The Lost Woods theme tune) or Gerudo Valleys theme tune. Hyrule field is a bit empty but is still a beautiful place to just walk or ride around in. I also like the controls and the Z targeting but sometimes you might do something you don't want to but that rarely happens when I play. The dungeons and temples are fun (except the Water Temple) as it puts puzzles in certain environments and can't be found in other areas. The ending is fun and fulfilling but to make this as spoiler free as possible I'm not going to talk about it.

    Thanks for reading.    … Expand

From the very opening moments of the game I got the feeling that Ocarina of Time was going to be something special. There are very few games that grab hold of your imagination from the very start and keep you immersed the whole way through. It is a stunning achievement on almost every level and when you compare it with other games of its generation it is in a class of its own. In recent years I often hear people say that Ocarina of Time is overrated I can only assume that those people never played it at the time of its release. Is it still the best Zelda game in every way? No, of course it isn't it's nearly 20 years old. The fact that it is still the best in some ways though is a testament to just how amazing it was. It set the bar in so many levels. When it came out there was nothing like it. It is nearly a perfectly balanced game, that set the bar for all games that followed. I replayed all of the 3D Zelda games recently and it still easily ranks near the top.

    The Gameplay is good on almost every level. it is a nearly perfect blend of puzzle solving, exploration, combat and platforming. It also has a menu system that was genius for its time and made every item in your inventory easy to access. Certainly there are better menu systems in some of the new Zelda games but Ocarina of Time provided the general model that all those games built on. Combat is not the best but as you get more items it gets progressively deeper and actually requires more skill than the vast majority of similar games. While many of the boss battles are simple, each one requires a unique strategy that you need to learn through trial and error. Unlike many other games in the series there is very little repetition. There is a huge variety of puzzles and problem solving both in and out of dungeons. Another great thing about the puzzles is that as you progress further you need to use more of your items and skills together to solve. The game naturally trains you through the experience of your adventure, making progression very rewarding. The level of freedom in this game was simply amazing for its time and it took many years for it to be surpassed.

    While Zelda games have never been known for great story lines, Ocarina of Time is easily one of the best. Unlike past Zelda games, the character of Link actually grows up and that transition is handled brilliantly. When Link is a child he deals with problems in a naive way. When you play as a child you feel like a child in a world full of mysteries that you don't understand. When Link eventually grows up it becomes immediately apparent that things were not as simple as they originally seemed and you are forced to face the hard realities of the adult world. The story is still relatively simple but it is a simple story told extremely well with many great twists and turns. The game does an excellent job of betraying your expectations. It also builds on the lore of the Zelda universe in a meaningful way. Like most Zelda games the story takes a backseat to the gameplay but it still provides plenty of memorable plot points. It was well paced and kept me engaged from beginning to end.

    The world in Ocarina of Time is very small by modern standard but it felt massive for its time and due to its great design it still feels relatively large because of the sheer variety of locations. Each area has a very distinct feel and due to the pass of time each area changes dramatically. As you get more items you will also find yourself revisiting old areas and gaining access to them. Ocarina of Time has probably the best variety of dungeons in any Zelda game. Every single one feels unique and offers different highlights. There are 9 main dungeons 3 mini dungeons. Not only that but gaining access to each of the dungeons also requires some puzzle solving which makes it all the more rewarding. The sheer amount of areas and diversity of those areas insures that the game never gets repetitive. Not only are the environments well varied but as the game progresses you gain new ways to travel more efficiently which makes back tracking far easier. The game enables you to fast travel as soon as traversal starts to become a chore.

    The Visuals might not seem like anything special now but at the time they were amazing. Seriously look back at other games of that gen and try to find games that have aged better graphically.

    The Sound Design remains some of the best in any game. Not only is the music excellent it is used as a game mechanic in the most meaningful way I have seen in a game. It is without a doubt a masterpiece.

    Ocarina of TIme is objectively a great game, people don't have to like it but to deny its excellence is plain ignorance. It was a leap forward in many areas and changed the way games are viewed. It is well deserving its accolades.    … Expand

Even for someone like me who's only playing it now, I can say the game was absolutely amazing.

Even for someone like me who's only playing it now, I can say the game was absolutely amazing. I may just be a jaded millennial, but I can definitely see why people loved this game so much. It really set the standard for what modern Zelda games are all about.

    It goes through the same motions as all the others, of course. Go into a dungeon, get an item, use it to beat the boss. It's the standard thing that all Zelda games do over and over, but I'm not knocking points off of it because it did this first. Even if it wasn't the first to do it, I'd probably still love the game just as much. The world feels huge despite its actually relatively small size, feeling much larger and livelier than many of the much bigger open world games that I've played. There's tons to do, and no matter how many times I play the thing, I never find myself becoming bored. The world is fun to explore, and the dungeons are very well designed, never being a completely linear experience, but never feeling like it just leaves you without any clue as to what to do. I love exploring and figuring out the dungeons in this game, they're absolutely some of the best parts of the game. Of course I hear the Water Temple was some legendary rite of passage to separate the boys from the men, but I never found that much trouble with it. It was more complex than others, sure, but the same rules applied. Just explore rooms you haven't been to, yet. It wasn't really that difficult for me, even if it had three separate and sprawling floors.

    Even as someone who jumped onto Ocarina of Time late, I can still feel the magic in this title. I fell in love with the game after the first dungeon, and I felt compelled to keep going through the story, exploring the dungeons and slaying the monsters, and the second half of the game feels even better than the first half when you're jumping back and forth through time. Shifting from child to adult form is the main selling point of this game, and it's used to solve puzzles and such things in certain sections of the game. Although only one dungeon really incorporates it completely, it can be used in exploration throughout the world, and it's always fun to come across something and experiment with time to see what works.

    This is my personal favorite Zelda title, though I haven't played all of them, but even so I don't think my opinion is controversial. This is definitely a masterpiece, and any shortcomings it may have are overshadowed by its overall amazing quality and the magical experience it provides, even after all the years after its initial release.    … Expand

I personally think the learning curve of the game is because of the clunkiness of the game and a few monsters not unfair but still not perfect. The dungeons at times are really not my thing. Many Zeldas have their "stone wall rooms" in their dungeons but this one here has really a lot of them with just a few details. You just feel that the dungeons basically are a few blocks of rock (except for the first three). I had a lot of fun with the Water and Spirit Temple nonetheless - yes the Water Temple, can you believe it and some of the most memorable moments in the franchises history are a part of this game in my opinion.

    No tuve la oportunidad de jugarlo en su tiempo en una nintendo 64, hubiese quedado fascinado y un buen recuerdo de infancia. Pero gracias a los emuladores, me permitieron jugar esta maravillosa obra de arte, mas aún con las mejoras de hoy en día que se le puedan hacer.

    One of the best games ever made.
    Played it back in the old days and until now there is no other game that can surpass this masterpiece !
    Probably the new Breath of the Wild will be as good as this. Still, if i had to chose between both of them, i would take the old one =)

    Mi juego favoriito de toda la historia, involucra de manera increible al jugador con la historia de link, no tiene huecos, las peleas son increibles, no hay fallos en la historia, y la jugabilidad es bastante rica, varia a lo largo de todo el juego y aun asi, la libertad es increible

    I played it when I was a kid... good times... but in so much time, there's only one game that can fight with it for the place of the best gamer ever... and it's Zelda Breath of the Wild ;D
    This is one of the BEST **** GAMES EVER!

    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.
