Point question de sauver la princesse Zelda. Le héros prend place dans un monde totalement neuf, un univers parallèle à Hyrule. Enfin totalement neuf, mais plus pour très longtemps, car il est au bord de l'apocalypse, proche de l'implosion, si Link ne remets pas la main sur un petit lutin masqué, nommé Skull Kid, qui fout la pagaille aux quatre coins de la planète. On est ainsi balancé dans un nouvel environnement, qui change de nos bonnes vieilles habitudes. Enfin, pas tout à fait. Car, fidèle à ses préceptes, Nintendo a farci le jeu de références aux épisodes précédents. Majora's Mask ressemble même au meilleur cross over de la série. En premier lieu, le jeu est une refonte assumée d'Ocarina Of Time. La plupart des personnages de ce dernier sont recyclés, dans des rôles parfois différents, souvent différents même et des noms changés. Je pense aux sorcières, boss du Temple du Désert dans le précédent épisode, reconverties en marchandes de potions. Les relations qu'entretient Link avec ces différents personnage sont ainsi totalement inversées.… Expand

    Worst Game Ever Made...Honestly. the graphics are puke inducing. the game is long and way too drawn out. and its just not pleasing to sit and play for hours. SKIP AT ALL COSTS! It does not hold up what so ever.

    This game has no right to be the best game ever. The damn thing didn't hold up when was released and will never do. You're better off with Tetris or Half Life 2.

    Adventure is fun, but does not hold up well. Water temple is beyond annoying, camera is beyond revolting, and is often hard to understand what is ok to do, and what is not. What i mean by that is, sometimes it wants you to experiment, but then it punishes you when you get something wrong, which ironically discourages exploration.

I don't have any nostalgia for the game so maybe thats why im so annoyed at all its flaws. And yes, i do think BOTW was more fun and 'adventurous' to play… Expand

    Majora's Mask is better. Its less confusing and has a better, darker story. The gameplay is better and so are the controls.

    I personally believe that a game should be rated for how well it aged and how good it is today, and personally, I don't think it passed that mark.

    This game doesn't hold up at all. Has a very generic story, and is only popular today because people look at it with nostalgia goggles. Don't waste your time with it

    I never saw the appeal of this game. A Link to the Past was far superior in my opinion. Z-Targeting was a good concept but poorly executed, a lot of the issues I have with the game are simply products of 3d being a new concept in '98. An important game in gaming history, but it has aged poorly and some of the poor design choice are highlighted because of it.

    Bad controls, uninteresting story, uninteresting game play. It's good for its time, but it has aged horribly. Not to mention I don't find the style or formula for the Zelda series fun at all.

    Played this back in 1999, bought into all the hype. Color me bored. Fun lasted all about one day, then things got really repetitive, I hated learning to playing the songs, dealing with cartoonish characters, and unexciting action.

    I still don't see why this game is so good. You literally beat it the exact same way every one else who played it beat it; what's the point? It obviously didn't age well but I would rate Paper Mario and Shadows of the Empire way above this on gameplay anyway.

    HEY.

    OOT is simply not at the level of exploration and freedom as many other 3d-Games on the Tier-list of the greatest games of all times are… Moreover the movement abilities are very limited… the Dungeons inside the game are everything but funny, they are time consuming and in my opinion just a way to make this pretty short game feel a bit longer… The story is a little bit weird and confusingOOT is simply not at the level of exploration and freedom as many other 3d-Games on the Tier-list of the greatest games of all times are… Moreover the movement abilities are very limited… the Dungeons inside the game are everything but funny, they are time consuming and in my opinion just a way to make this pretty short game feel a bit longer… The story is a little bit weird and confusing because it feels like the programmers changed their mind about what the games story should be mid to end-Development. The grafics are solid, at least looking back to the time it was created, but there are still many little flaws in the game that make it unplayable for me and many people that I know… People who grew up with this game, not knowing what a really good game is about, probably have a better and less critical view on the game than I do, but objectively it is not worth playing anymore… To finish off my overly critical review I want to point out some really good soundtracks in the game, even though many were copied from older games of the series and many were simply used to often and annoying, some are indeed very good and worth a shoutout!… Expand

    Lots of Zelda fans claim Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda, if not the best game of all time, I strongly disagree, I played up until the Fire Temple and I just couldn't finish, the game itself was boring and the world ws empty, the only places that were there were places you needed to be for the main storyline, the game lacked in charm and felt dull and bland.

My favorites in the series, (Twilight Princess and Windwaker) were much better, Ocarina of Time feels linear, the puzzles are easy, the temples are uncreative and the game just doesn’t pull me in and get me hokked on it like TP or WW, so to be honest, Ocatina of Time is really, really overated.… 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.
