    El mejor juego que haya jugado (y rejugado) alguna vez! Historia simple pero muy buena, personajes carismáticos, banda sonora magistral, calabozos con grandes diseños, puzzles exigentes pero que te atrapan, gráficos increíbles para la epoca y jefes finales increíbles. Un antes y un después en el mundo de los videojuegos y en la infancia de millones.

    The legend of Zelda ocarina of time is a master piece, in my opinión is the best game ever created.

    If I could put 9.9 on it I would. It is the first great game that I played in my life, I have a lot of affection for it, and I would say that it is my favorite game, so because of the affection.

I have not yet found a game that entertains me so much, I think it is because I will not be able to play them the same, that is, I will not be able to play it as a small child who for the first time tries to play a video game. I played the remastering, that was not done to me uncomfortable gameplay. Although I know that on the Nintendo 64, it laid the foundations of how a 3D game should be made and in 3 people (in the first person they were settled by a man named Gordon Freeman). The design of areas is what stands out the most, they are works of art. The music in each place is very good, and if you have headphones, it is immersive. At first I said that I give it a 9.9, why? You will say, simple, the story seems weak to me, however it is not bad (it is better than BOTW), the Zelda saga has games with a better story, for example: The Legend Of Zelda: Twighlit Princess, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the past, and The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's just for that reason that my 10 is not earned, if I look at it objectively it is clear. Something I want to mention is the exploration that the game offers, and that is something that seems super important to me if your game is not open world. What do I mean about exploration? Well, I mean the secrets that each area you visit offers you, that you didn't even see a passageway that led to a piece of heart, etc. Games like BioShock perfected this with an element called suspense. Well, to finish this one, which is my first review, I wanted to say that if you don't care about graphics, this game is 100/100 recommended.… Expand

    Tremendo juegardo,la gente que se queja de los gráficos o controles no se da cuenta de que estamos hablando de un juego de hace mas de 20 años para una consola que para que no se comience a quemar tiene que despawnear enemigos si te alejas de ellos.Aún así,es un buen juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's very flawed but I love it, there are instances where the game lags like crazy but nothing game breaking or anything, also this game's puzzles, really boring and easy,and the bosses are laughable, during one of my playthroughs, Phantom Ganon's boss fight stretched for so long that I was hoping for a game over. Other than that it's the best of it's time, but compared to nowadays, this game is **** 1 out of 10!… Expand

    Muy byen juego¡mis razones son:
    La musica de fondo,las canciones que puedes tocar con la ocarina,las batallas,el simple hecho de poder viajar en el tiempo,los templos estan bien ambientados,lo unico malo son los graficos pero eso se pasa ya que salio en 1998,ya si quieres jugar con mejores graficos prueba el remake de 3ds y listo

    What can I say, it's Ocarina of Time. One of the most revolutionary games ever. Ocarina of Time holds up remarkably well. In fact, I think some of the temples in this game are still the best in the series, and 5 amazing 3D Zelda's came out after this! It also showed just how good a great story can be in 3D games.

It's so satisfying to finally get that medallion after a whole day of trying to get it. The bosses are also SO FUN!!!! As much as I praise it it isn't a perfect game. I feel that the overworld just hasn't aged well. I bet it was good in 1998, but now I have no desire to explore it. I think that the worst thing in the game is the Water Temple. Everyone who has played it knows just how bad it is. It's very confusing, and frustrating and it's one of those things that makes you want to rip out the hears of your very head. Although the overworld and Water Temple aren't that great it is still an amazing game. I can definitely live with Ocarina of Time being called the best game ever.… Expand

    Could be the greatest game ever made. COULD be. In my review? It most certainly is. I just cannot stop playing from beginning to end. The pure addiction and love I have for this treasure chest of a game is explained in millions of words. So I'll just say, it's amazing. And the critics are very much correct.

Definitely a revolution compared to 1998. I still remember the sweet music used in the game. The characters are very well written and memorable. The story is beautiful. Level design is amazing. Every place, every dungeon has a different atmosphere. Combat mechanics are a lot of fun. Boss battles are good and creative. Various side quests and small side stories to do in the open world. Switching between the two times added a difference to the game.
    But there are two parts I don't like;
    1_) Water Tample: Constantly changing items and backtracking is very tiring.
    2_) Some solutions are not clear: You don't know what to do for hours when Navi's help doesn't help either. In some places I had to seek help from the forums for a solution. Especially in the first quarter of the game, the game is not new player friendly. In some puzzles, you may not know what to do.
    Other than that, I was amazed by everything in the game. I was quite mesmerized. It's incredible to make a game like this in those years.    … 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.
