    Переоцененная дичь даже для своего времени. Отсутствие сюжета. Никакущий графон и музыкальное сопровождение на фоне конкурентов.

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

    Even after all these years, this is still an epic adventure that to me will never ever get old. It still stands as the best Zelda game to date.

    It is a masterpiece, it is a very good game, but it is NOT the best game of all time.

    This game seems to be stuck at a 99 when it should be at 100, it was a staple in adventuring, I know people like to think of Mario being the golden child of Nintendo, but to me, Ocarina of Time speaks volumes of fantasy that can't be compared to any other game during it's time!

    That's the best Zelda legend I've ever had.
    It is also a game that I have memories of when I was in elementary school.
    If you try it now, the graphics may feel bad, but once you start the game, even the bad graphics are not strange at all.
    One thing I'm sorry about is why the Metascore score is only 99 points? This game needs to get 100 Metascore points!

    This game really has a special place in my heart as my first video game and it delivered everything perfectly. It was a great open world for it's time and really put the whole weight of that world onto you.

    I played it around 2000, and i was basically addicted for about 3 weeks.. i had a girlfriend back then, and i was getting laid quite often with her, but in the span while inwas playing this game.. i didint care about sex anymore.. i was thinking in this game 24 hours a day... so i guess i agree with anyone that says this game is a masterpiece

    Ocarina of time is a very very good game but playing the game in 2018 , the games flaws are noticable . The combat system is good but the enemies are crap they dont need any reflex or brain to beat . Shadow temple is very short and have like 3 puzzels . Water temples design is really good but it takes WAY TOO LONG . Fire temples puzzels are too easy that its hard to call them puzzels .Ocarina of time is a very very good game but playing the game in 2018 , the games flaws are noticable .

Still ocarina of time is a classic that defined lots of generes like action , open world and 3d puzzle . Its gameplay and lvl design is really good even for todays standarts . open world is small but has lots of side content to do which makes up for its size .… Expand

    So, I never played this game (or any Zelda game) till last summer, and it's the reason I bought a switch just to play BoTW. The game is just great and it deserves its reputation

    Just replayed it and already want to replay it again. It is the best game ever made and a miracle. The music (which is even a gameplay element), the lively world that was so ahead of its time, the dungeons, the villages, the quest design, the nice little story that's just perfect for a video game.

    One of the first game systems I got was an N64 with this game in 1996 and it remains one of the best games I have ever played having gone back several times as I’ve grown older playing it again and again.

    This game is a masterpiece! I've been playing Zelda Ocarina of Time over and over again for a couple of years and didn't get tired of it... I just hope there was a much harder version with monsters with more health and stronger, for advanced players.

    The first Zelda I played in my life, which makes it very special for me. An incredible story, gameplay that flows very well, that is, in its context, a revolution for the world of games.

    Amazing story, compelling characters, great design, graphics and music for the time and ground breaking mechanics for the time, all that added with great replay value with tons of hours of side quests, secrets and areas to explore, this game was probably one of the first "open worlds" games and it for sure changed the industry at it's time, so makes no sense to give t less than a 10

    This game is just perfect, both in history and in gameplay. It is scary to think that so much could fit in a simple cartridge with less than 50 mb. OoT shows anyone that Video Games can be a life experience after all.

    The year is 2020, and yes, "Ocarina of Time" is not the best game ever made. With visuals well below the standards of it's own time, many dated mechanics, often overly obtuse progression, awkwardly written dialogue, pacing issues, etc, etc, ETC. I can go on with the many poorer aspects of the game. Looking at it 20+ years later, the issues with the game are far more noticeable.

Even with all of that though, the great dungeon design (particularly in the adult half), an amazing soundtrack, effective story, engaging atmosphere, some fun side activities, and much more allow this one to still stand tall as a fun but very flawed game, and one that every gamer absolutely NEEDS to play for its undeniable impact alone. This one is still a keeper.… Expand

    Even if this game is technically an old game now, it still holds up well considering the year it was made.

    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.
