People who are hating on this game and saying nostalgia, overrated are def Nintendo haters. So what makes this game special? First of all this is one of the first 3D video games ever made. İt changed the entire gaming industry! A lot of modern games has took a lot from this game! “Anyone who makes 3-D games who says they've not borrowed something from Mario or Zelda is lying,” Rockstar cofounder Dan Houser said in 2012. The Dungeons are one of the best. Puzzles are really creative and fun. Gameplay is still awesome today and this game aged amazing. Story is also good I don't understand why people thinks story is bad? There are def better story games but Zelda games were never about story. İt was always about that amazing gameplay, level design, atmosphere, music and more! But story is still great imo. So much iconic scenes and it feels like a movie that a character goes to an adventure. As I said this game does an amazing job with atmosphere and making an alive world with gameplay instead of long cutscenes! Open world was insane for 1998! Today it maybe small but it still does an amazing job with making you free and has an exploring feeling! Music is also one of the best things that the Zelda series does. And this game has the best Zelda musics imo. İf you haven't played this game than just play it because it is worth for everything!… Expand

    A masterpiece. It has one of the greatest if not the best soundtrack of videogame history, and despite it was released in 1998, it is considerably better than any release in the present. Its controlls might be frustrating because of the N64 controller, but that is just a tiny problem that can easily be fixed buying a custom controller or the 3ds remake.

    In my opinion the best game ever. Radical change in the zelda world and in the world of video games in general, making the leap to the 3D perspective. Without a doubt, ahead of its time.

    In my opinion, Ocarina of Time stays on the same position with Minecraft. It was bad that this game was released on a N64, a console which was not bad, but sold not good. It is probably the best game I ever played. Good job!

    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.

    Ocarina of Time might just be one of the most overrated games of all time, but by god if I didn't love almost every minute I spent with this game.

    Ocarina of Time is the 4th entry in the long running Legend of Zelda series and if you play any Zelda game in your lifetime, it should probably be this one. I must admit this isn't my favourite Zelda game, but it's certainly up there. For    Ocarina of Time might just be one of the most overrated games of all time, but by god if I didn't love almost every minute I spent with this game.

    Ocarina of Time is the 4th entry in the long running Legend of Zelda series and if you play any Zelda game in your lifetime, it should probably be this one. I must admit this isn't my favourite Zelda game, but it's certainly up there. For what it's worth, it is my favourite N64 game, which doesn't mean much when I've only played 3 N64 games I'm aware.

    for 1998, OoT is remarkably impressive, it hasn't aged great visually, but for the most part it still plays flawlessly. Link feels almost entirely free of the jank that plagued Mario 64 and other N64 games I haven't played because the only other one is Banjo and that also plays great.

    The story is appropriately the most complex thus far, it's a three-dimensional story if you will... Sorry. You are Link, or whatever you wanna name him, I always just call him Link, and you live in the Kokiri Forest among the -you guessed it- Kokiri, one morning being told by a magical blue ball called a fairy named Navi to go to the Deku tree. Link, with sword and shield in hand, ventures forth to find the Deku tree dying, upon proving himself Link is given a mission and sets off with Navi as his new companion to find Zelda, get engaged to a fish, become bro's with some rock people and listen to an owl explain sh*t 3 times over because you keep accidentally pressing "yes" instead of "no" when he asks you if you want him to repeat himself. Where the "Ocarina of time" comes in to... Ocarina of Time, is about halfway through the game where Ganondorf steals Zelda and she throws you said titular instrument and you set off to the Temple of Time to take up the famous Master Sword , sending Link forward in time and also giving him gauntlets, pants and earrings thanks... Time? did Rauru do that? Did Fi? Anyway there you meet Rauru, the first of seven Sages with which you are tasked with finding throughout Hyrule, so you go to Lon Lon Ranch because f*ck traversing Hyrule on foot, you get Epona and you begin the real adventure.

    Ocarina is not the best Zelda, but the story, music and characters really come together in such a way that it's hard to not love this game, it really feels like an adventure you're embarking on. It pulls a bit of a Final Fantasy 6 and has the villain win halfway through, but this time you have to prevent it in the future rather than just kill the villain and live in the now ruined world.

    As the title would suggest, Ocarina has a heavy focus on music, you play music to call Epona, you play music to change the weather, you play music to advance the story, this game loves music, and it's all very good, I find myself humming Saria's Song to this day. This game also handles its musical instrument far better than its successors, whereas Wind Waker forces you to stop in your tracks and tediously play the song timed perfectly, Ocarina lets you play the song however fast you like as to not halt the gameplay for something relatively arbitrary. One of my few complaints and one that's shared by many is of course the Water Temple, but even that can be remedied by playing the 3D version on the 3ds, which is personally the version I recommend over the N64 version. Another complaint would have to be Navi, I don't hate her as much as many but I find her largely barren of personality, maybe I've just been spoiled by Midna in Twilight Princess but I simply can't go back to Navi anymore, even the King of Red Lions is an improvement, but I guess she isn't as bad as Fi.

    In closing, Ocarina of Time is a great game and absolutely worth your time, it's a fantastic game but contrary to popular belief, no it's not perfect, it has issues and the Water Temple can give you several migraines but it is a good game. Music is great, characters are fun, graphics are... play the 3D version.    … Expand

    A monumental achievement like nothing the industry had ever seem before. A game that can't be called anything but a masterpiece, a flawless experience that still holds up perfectly even more than 20 years after it's release, the digital entertainment of the century, the title of the millennium, the best game of it's time and of all time.

    The game is just great. Never rate a game by its graphics, but in my opinion, they are not bad at all, they are great! The way of storytelling is great and clear. Nintendo had some really good ideas for the boss battles! The game has a really good introduction. You may sometimes be confused, or have some problems with getting how a boss works, but after that you get a big satisfaction,The game is just great.

The game has a really good introduction. You may sometimes be confused, or have some problems with getting how a boss works, but after that you get a big satisfaction, because you actually did it. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are really exploring the land of this world. You don't need to have "complete da gem" as your goal. You really want to go fishing, or make your adventure just a little bit longer. Secrets are well hid, but usually rewarding. Must play this game! It is a masterpiece! See ya, in the land of Hyrule.… Expand

    This was the game. I loved it. Me and my little brother played this game over and over it was so fun. The only dungeon I hate is the water temple but it makes sense as a temple.

    The game is amazing but it does NOT compare to other great games that are scored similarly. The game has aged poorly but at the time it was good. I do not have nostalgia for this game and that is why I'm rating it at only an 8. If you want to play this game at it's best then play the 3DS version.

    I still fondly remember opening a christmas present and finding Ocarina of Time inside, some 20-ish years ago (I think it was 1998). It is one of my greatest memories, and when I started playing the game I was put in a state of awe and complete disbelief. I was Link - in 3D. What a time to be alive.

    Ocarina of time is video game. That much must be said before the rest of this review, because of the almost insane amount of discussion this game has. When any piece of media is acclaimed as this, opinions tend to waver to two polar opposites. Either it‘s a masterpiece, or an abomination. I find that to be unfair.

When any piece of media is acclaimed as this, opinions tend to waver to two polar opposites. Either it‘s a masterpiece, or an abomination. I find that to be unfair. People judge this game not on the game itself, but the reception it’s garnered. With that said, I think Ocarina of time is a very good game. It has one of the best paced stories in any game I‘ve played. Not the best story, but the best pacing. You don‘t even really notice how the story progressively gets darker and darker until about halfway through the game. But it all feels natural and makes sense in the world. Speaking of, the world is a mixed match of quality. Some locations, like the peaceful Kakoriko village and Hyrule Castle Town are great locations. Full of things to do, PCs to talk to, and great music. But some locations, like Hyrule field, are empty plains, filled with nothing except a few holes in the ground with 20 in game dollars or something. I‘m sure it was great for the time, but today, it doesn’t hold up as nearly as it once did. Just like the gameplay. Gameplay takes some getting used to, with janky camera control, aiming, and jumping, but once you get used to it, it works fine. The levels, or dungeons are all masterpieces, (at least they all are on the 3DS) and are easily the best parts for me. They all have a very strong atmosphere filled to the brim with amazing puzzles and enemies to conquer.
    I love Ocarina of Time, and I think that it is one of the games any gamer has to play, but it‘s not perfect. I give it an 8/10 for one of the best paced stories of growing up, beautiful music, awe inspiring dungeons, but have to doc it some points for barren empty hubs, and clunky controls.    … Expand

    Ocarina of Time is arguably the best Zelda game of all time and there's a HUGE argument to be made for best 64 game and even best Nintendo game.

    Great graphics, awesome story and great controls. This is an adventure on N64 that is not one to miss out on! I'm not even a fan of the franchise but this game is a gem.

    Yeah, this game is heavily overrated. It does have many flaws, and has aged quite a bit, but that doesn’t stop it from being a timeless classic that everyone can get around. Although the graphics aren’t very good, and the water temple is awful, I still think this is worth playing. So yeah, a good game. The greatest of all time?

    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.
