    This game is the best rated game of all time: its metascore is 99, and if that's not enough to convince you that this game is amazing, you must really hate video games.

    This game is quite simply legendary. Everything works together in a beatifull whole. Honestly, i would recomend the 3ds version because it's way better looking but if you want to play the original, you shouldn't be disapointed. The combat is not the best but is not really important. The dungeons are proably among the best in the series with real puzzle that can make your head thinks. IfThis game is quite simply legendary. Everything works together in a beatifull whole.

    Nothing short of a masterpiece, there are few games that can compare to the ocarina of time and I don't think any game will ever be more decorated than this one is

    Pure freaking magic, trolls can rage against the game as much as they want; when a discussion of the greatest game of all time comes up, Ocarina stands as king.

    This is by far the best game i have ever played. Temples are all memorable ( specially Water one). The soundtrack is amazing, the graphics back then were amazing, clearly the best title of the franschise for me. Back then, you just had to feel it ( NO internet for solutions back then , really enjoyable gameplay )

    Hace poco pude jugar a este título. Me parece un gran juego con multitud de puzles y cosas que hacer. A pesar del tiempo que tiene y la fecha en la que salió, me parece un buen juego para jugar hoy en dia.

    At the time of reading this, it's currently the highest rated game of all time here on metacritic. I don't think that's likely to change in the foreseeable future; and for good reason. No other game earns a 10/10 as easily as this does.    … Expand

    Yup, well deserving all the high scores, especially considering the year it came out. I played it during 2000s and while the mechanics and graphics were already pretty dated then, the plot, world and atmosphere of the game made it a memorable experience and a great adventure.

    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.

    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.
