    Even after twenty years of amazing new releases in this industry, Ocarina is still my favorite game and my favorite work of entertainment/art altogether.

This game was and is such a large part of my life and as much as I would love to say this game is perfect, there are three things i wish I could change in this game. First I wish there were more side missions. Yes there are quite a few already in the game, but I feel like if they would have added more it could have made this game feel even more realistic and adventurous. Maybe if they would have added that expansion they intended to add with the N64 it would have fixed this issue. Second I think I can speak for everyone when I say having the option to skip through discussions with Kaepora Gaebora would make this game less aggravating. I know some people may argue saying that even though it's annoying this is one of the things in the game that help you experience these different emotions, which is one of the reasons why this game so great. All I have to say is they could have at least made his discussions shorter and sty on topic. Last but not least the fact that the game ends once you defeat Gannon Dorf is so disappointing to me. Now before you jump out lashing at me, let me say I do have mixed feelings about it. The ending to me is the most satisfying and least satisfying part of the game. You spend countless hours going around trying to find all of the little hidden secrets the game holds, getting to know all of the people who live in the game and when it comes time for you to defeat the evil within it, it justs ends. Maybe this is what makes this game so desirable, because it makes you want to take your time adventuring and once you defeat the game you get to start all over so you can try an find things you may have missed the time before. However, I would like to know what happens after you win. Does link and Zelda get together? How is the world now that Gannon Dorf is gone? Has a different evil come to threaten the peace? This game leaves you with so many questions and sadly not to may answers.

    I would love to see nintendo come out with a remastered version in HD for the switch. I first thought that a remastered version would possibly ruin the game but seeing the HD Unreal Engine 4 screenplays online has totally changed my mind. I currently don't own a switch but if they do decide to release a remastered version of this game I will totally go out and buy one.    … Expand

    Ocarina of Time is quite possibly the greatest game ever made. The gameplay, particularly revolutionary for its time, still holds up today. The story tells the grand adventure, that although told many a time through various media, continues to be used to this day. The matter of fact is: Ocarina set forth many of the trends that are still present in video games today. It is a masterpieceOcarina of Time is quite possibly the greatest game ever made. The gameplay, particularly revolutionary for its time, still holds up today. The story tells the grand adventure, that although told many a time through various media, continues to be used to this day. The matter of fact is: Ocarina set forth many of the trends that are still present in video games today. It is a masterpiece that most certainly lives up to the hype.

    Ocarina of Time is considered by many to be the greatest video game ever made. I first played this title over 15 years after it came out. It was not my first Zelda game, nor did I grow up playing this game. Thus, I had zero nostalgia for this game and nothing but high expectations from repeatedly being told that this was the peak gaming experience of all time.

    The story, feels familiar and follows the basic Zelda formula (hero learns of danger to the world, does some dungeons, something drastic changes in the world, Zelda is a captured by Gannon, hero frees her, etc.) however at this point said formula was still new. There is just enough story to keep the player invested in the world and its characters, but so much that it becomes the focus of this game. Instead the game chooses to be about adventure and exploration, a goal it accomplishes masterfully in a variety of ways.

    First, the game’s level design is fantastic. Each dungeon has a unique theme and even those with similar themes (i.e. The Great Deku Tree and Forest Temple) have vastly different mechanics that makes each dungeon a unique experience. The puzzles are clever, but not stupid, and the Ocarina is a fantastic tool to solve such puzzles. The bosses for the most part are fun (a few seem like item sponges). The character encountered in each of the game’s areas feel relatable and the world feels alive (except when its not supposed to).

    The music in this game is superb and the music also conveys important information to the player such as when to prepare for danger and when certain enemies are in the area.

    The exploration in this game also feels fantastic. Although Hyrule field pales in comparison to many modern open worlds, it was not only revolutionary for the time, but is still fun to explore. The world and each dungeon is full of hidden secrets that give Link optional upgrades to his gear, health bar, etc. The game rewards exploration, but does not require the player to run around the world interacting with everything until they are able to move on.

    The combat was also not only revolutionary but is still present in many of today’s games. Dark Souls and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey borrow Ocarina’s Z-targeting lock on combat system that made combat in three dimensions satisfying to participate in.

    Overall, Ocarina is a masterpiece that was not only revolutionary for its time, but still holds up to this day as one of the greatest games of all time. It is a must play for anyone who enjoys video games at all. It might not be your favorite game, but it will most definitely be worth your time.    … Expand

    But last year I got the chance to play and finish this video game. And from the very first hours of playing, this game just brings you into another dimension, a similar worlds to ours, with woods, lakes, castles and plains, but adding creatures of all kinds and following the adventure of a small hero. This game has an incredible level design, emotional storytelling, mystical and somehow nostalgia-inducing soundtracks even if you heard them for the first time, never boring gameplay, and funny interactions with all the characters that you encounter through the hero's journey. Technically it is well made, excluding a few bugs and counter intuitive mechanisms, that really don't get in the way of the game play.

    I think this game has an atmosphere and an hidden subtext, that is relatable and resonates unconsciously to every human being, that's why it struck anyone who played it. Combined with it's pristine art that mimics the beauty of the real world in a newly explored technological way and following the adventure of each and everyone of us through growth, change, responsibility and love, it's no surprise that for now, and maybe for a while, this is the best videogame ever made.

    If you can, try to play the original N64 version, in my opinion the 3DS remake just doesn't recreate the same magic, by using new textures that don't really fit with the original atmosphere of the original game, and also the original was intended for an home console which means it's supposed to be played on a big screen to really appreciate the open world, rather than the small screen of the 3DS.

    *Bonus points if you play the original version and try to see yourself as a 10 years old in 1998 during the Christmas holidays, filled only with joy and curiosity, and entering this dimension. Then you'll get me.    … Expand

    Ocarina of Time is the best video game that I have played in my lifetime. This "open world" game was ahead of its time. The story telling of this is second to none, and this game has one of the more memorable soundtracks. Combine that with the boss battles and "dungeons" this is my perfect 10/10 game.

    There is not much I can say about Ocarina of Time that wasn't said 100.000 times. But I think what really is the best part of a close to prefect game, is his amazing atmosphere. Please if you never played this and you're scared because it is old. Go and play it. It is 100% worth your time.

But if there is a problem that I have with the game, it's just that Hyrule Field is just bland. I have never felt an incentive to explore the world, I find Lake Hylia especially dull, the only reason I've been there was to go to the water temple, and that is the worst dungeon in the game. Despite that one flaw I love literally everything else, Koji Kondo has made an absolutely fantastic soundtrack and should be regarded as one of his best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplesmente incrível. Sua trilha sonora é espetacular, história típica da franquia Zelda. Acho impressionante como um jogo de 1998, de Nintendo 64, ser tão bom e ter envelhecido tão bem. Exceto pelos seus gráficos, mas é algo completamente compreensível. Ocarina Of Time é um jogo lendário: com personagens marcantes, Gameplay excelente, dungeons desafiadoras, e algo que particularmente adoro: A volta no tempo. Esse jogo consegue fazer isso extremamente bem, trazendo toda aquela sensação de que você - No caso o Link - É um adulto agora, que pulou 7 anos no tempo, onde tudo está em ruínas. Uma aventura sensacional onde você precisa salvar Hyrule, enquanto descobre o que aconteceu quando esteve fora. E ver como tudo mudou durante esses 7 anos.

    Seria um pouco egoísmo dizer que este jogo é o melhor de todos os tempos, quem sou eu para afirmar isso? Mas com certeza está entre um dos melhores, e ficará marcado na história: Essa lenda dos video-games.    … Expand

Many of the games kids play today were influenced by OoT. "Z-targeting" was invented by OoT. Hub world. Navigation menus. All invented by OoT.

    For Zelda fans, this game introduced Zora as we know them. Introduced the Deku Tree, Epona, The Gerudo, etc. The Ganon fight at the end is still the best in the series and makes BoTW look even worse in comparison.    … Expand

    Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a truly powerful game, not only because of the tangible, expansive atmosphere, but the very thing that exists within it. Behind the layer that is the fear of vulnerability at a young age, are more layers which continue to bind into something so dark, yet beautiful and majestic, as a fantastical game should be, or in any case. Each monster which is fought is perfectly blended into the background, and once seen, the adrenaline kicks in. This game truly is groundbreaking    … Expand
