    First of alll as a gamer this game is very disappointing. It lacks basic features like jumping dancing or easy mode. when i first played the game a year ago on my seventh birtday when my brother got the switch online memrbe ship. i could not get pas teh first level. after my dad helped me to the big tree i died over 8 times to THOSE STUPIT PLANTS. this game is so confusing. not only isFirst of alll as a gamer this game is very disappointing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the GOAT. THE GOAT. It’s a journey to a mythical land of fairies and growth hormones. This game will be a spiritual experience.

    Medical professionals, should use the game as barometer to declare someone legally dead or not based off of whether it makes them squeal like a little girl in joy or not.

    If you hate this game I can only assume you hate puppies and happiness. Witness an open world style of play, that would inspire games for generations. Often imitated, never duplicated (except for that one time on 3DS.)    … Expand

    I played the remaster first but in the same way it seems to me a game that presented new mechanics The truth is if you want to play a game, from my point of view I would recommend The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time.

    Best game in the history of gaming. Period. It changed the world of gaming, as other Nintendo games have done too. Would be awesome to have a remaster.

    The best game I ever played! Finished It over 10 times. It's a fantastic and perfectly developed masterpiece. Words are not enough to describe It. You have to live this experience for yourself to understand it's greatness!

    Primer Zelda en 3D y uno de los mejores juegos de la historia. Revolucionario cuando salió en N64. Una historia simple pero emotiva. Una delicia jugarle en todos los sentidos. Disfrutadlo porque se juega solo por primera vez una única vez.

It's like they thought big = good automatically and forgot to give you anything to do in the large areas. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the gameplay, but with the large and mostly empty Hyrule and boring low-res 2D towns I can't recommend it or the 3DS remake over any other 3D Zelda unless you like playing goofy music on the ocarina. If you liked the basic gameplay I'd suggest checking out Majora's mask specifically due to it's extreme similarity but the gameplay is extremely similar to any other 3D Zelda game    … Expand

    an open world on the classic console, perhaps the worst thing about this game is starting it, but it was undoubtedly the best existing game at its time. And the industry changed a lot.

    El antes y después en los videojuegos, inventando la mecánica del target al enemigo que muchísimos videojuegos usan a día de hoy. Las cinemáticas tan bien dirigidas y ese mundo tan basto y vivo que en la época no existía nada igual. Ocarina of time podría ser perfectamente el padre del gaming actual.

    Simply my favorite game all time since I played it as a child back in 98'.
    The most important title for 3D action-adventure and gaming in general thanks to its innovations in game desing, with fantastic art direction and amazing soundtracks.

    В этом году окарине времени исполняется 25 лет. Современному игроку она крышу может и не снесёт, однако всё же трудно переоценить её влияние на индустрию. Тогда в 98-ом, тут уже была реализована смена дня и ночи в 3d, введена функция захвата цели одной кнопкой, и конечно была уже лошадь, вызываемая по свистку, которая станет позже обязательным атрибутом многих открытых миров. Сюжет хоть иВ этом году окарине времени исполняется 25 лет. Современному игроку она крышу может и не снесёт, однако всё же трудно переоценить её влияние на индустрию. Тогда в 98-ом, тут уже была реализована смена дня и ночи в 3d, введена функция захвата цели одной кнопкой, и конечно была уже лошадь, вызываемая по свистку, которая станет позже обязательным атрибутом многих открытых миров. Сюжет хоть и был довольно простой, но сопровождался обилием кинематографических вставочек на движке игры. Особенно порадовала демонстрация эмоций персонажей через сменяющие друг друга модельки лиц, для тех времён вполне неплохо. Графика хоть в целом и слабенька, но высокое внимание к деталям это дело компенсирует сполна.

    Трудно представить, насколько круто окарина времени воспринималась тогда, если даже сейчас она неплохо играется, разве что управление и камера могут показаться неудобными, но это мелочи. У нас тут небольшой, зато компактный мир, где на каждом шагу либо секретка, либо мини игра. Линк постоянно приобретает всё новые и новые инструменты, от грамотного использования которых и зависит продвижение дальше, так что всё завязано на внимательности и смекалки игрока, а не на прокачке чего либо. Можно конечно качать здоровье через поиск секретных сердечек, но это не более чем дополнительные права на ошибку. В общем, образцовая игра от нинтендо и довольно знаковая для индустрии в целом.    … 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.
