    Undoubtedly one of the best games of all time. This game is widely regarded as not only the best Zelda game, but the best game ever made in general (although Majora's mask trumps this in my opinion) and for a damn good reason.

The main plot of this game is probably the best one I've ever witnessed in a video game. It is very well made, with hidden secrets all across the game that are still being discovered to this day. Not to mention that the dungeons in this game are undisputedly the best dungeons in any Zelda game. In this aspect it's not even close. Dudongo's cavern, Forest temple, Fire temple, Shadow temple and Spirit Temple are all beyond amazing. Out of all the Zelda games that I have played, the only one that pontentially ranks up to this caliber is the Stone Tower temple from Majora's Mask.
    The hype surrounding this game is as real as it comes.    … Expand

    Este juego es una obra de arte, marcó mi infancia en muchos sentidos. No se entiendería de la misma forma la saga The Legend Of Zelda sin esta joya.

    Sin duda el juego que revoluciono los juegos en tercera persona, gráficos geniales para su época, y un gameplay que sin duda cambio la manera en que se hacen videojuegos

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nintendo basically started and stabilised norms on video games the way we know nowadays, period. But they didn’t know that the tendency of games having a deeper meaning and lore, would be something that fans would want and appreciate. Luckily, and I meant it, the history in OoT enable the Zelda team to create and fit all Zelda games in a (quite messy) timeline. OoT has a branch where Link coming back from the future creating the child timeline, the branch that he left behind the adult timeline, and finally the one where Le loses to Ganondorf, the downfall timeline. Which was a genius move to use OoT as fork.
    OoT created and break a lot of boundaries in the game world, have an amazing story, intriguing, by giving backstories to most of npcs, secrets, it’s fun, and entertaining. 11/10    … Expand

    This game is just amazing, I've played it on my childhood and I loved it, nowadays I bought a n64 just to be able to play it again and enjoy the temples/dungeon and soundtrack like the first time I played it as a child. If you have the opportunity to play it you should not miss it.

    I am NOT one of those tasteless clowns who believe that games should be rated for "how well they aged" and how good they are in today's market. Is the Mona Lisa any less a classic just because it wouldn't hold up to the standards of modern pieces? Would you give your grandmother a 2/10 simply because she is old? No. That would most likely be poor judgement.

Having been able to play it when it first came out, I can attest to how incredible it was. There wasn’t (and arguably still isn’t) anything quite like it. I will admit, if you hadn't played it when it was relevant, it may be slightly inaccessible for you now. BUT, you may wish to thank Ocarina of Time for the modern gameplay mechanics/environments/stories/etc. that you take for granted now - because it certainly (whether you'd like to believe so or not) paved the way for all of them. Now, f*** off.… Expand

    Excelente juego, su música, puzzle y jugabilidad adelantadas totalmente a su época; además de ser pionero en un ser rol-3d. Merece totalmente ser el mejor juego de la historia, y ni hablar de su sucesor majoras mask y el más reciente aventura de zelda botw.

    Uma fantasia incrível, com um mistério único para a época. Seguir a jornada de Link em hyrule atrás dos fragmentos da tri force foi algo lindo, vivendo o passado com hyrule em seus dias de glória e ver isso mudar para um reino sombrio cheio de perigos. Sem dúvidas, ocarina of time faz você vivenciar altas experiências, sentimentos.

    It’s so close to perfection that it feels perfect. Quite literally the best game I’ve ever played, time and time again. Played it as a child when first released and I still play it today as an adult and it’s never lost it’s shine.

    Ocarina of time was a great game that implemented a lot of new things to the genre, and inspired beauties like Dark souls or Witcher 3, for all those who say "bad graphics" or "bad controls" it was 1998, it was an innovation for those Times and bad controls, keep in mind that the Nintendo 64 controller was not the best, do not take into account the joy-con or the Nintendo Switch proOcarina of time was a great game that implemented a lot of new things to the genre, and inspired beauties like Dark souls or Witcher 3, for all those who say "bad graphics" or "bad controls" it was 1998, it was an innovation for those Times and bad controls, keep in mind that the Nintendo 64 controller was not the best, do not take into account the joy-con or the Nintendo Switch pro controller.
    Added "Z-Targetting" or targeting enemies, which was a great implementation of the genre (for those who say there isn't!)
    and apart from "the temple of the water here and the temple of the water there" yes, it is a bad temple. But you know? The game has other good aspects. The story and character design is good, with a lot of races.
    And it is still improved with the 3ds remake, which improves the graphics and controls, making the water temple and the damn balloon game better for this version (Some put a 2 or a 0 for the balloon minigame, Oh my!)
    In my opinion, a true art that any fan of video games should play at least 1 time. And in my opinion, it has not aged badly at all, it is still pleasant to play, and well, if the controls or graphics bother you a lot, you can play the 3ds remake! Let nothing stop you wanting to play this masterpiece.    … 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.
