    El mejor juego que haya jugado (y rejugado) alguna vez! Historia simple pero muy buena, personajes carismáticos, banda sonora magistral, calabozos con grandes diseños, puzzles exigentes pero que te atrapan, gráficos increíbles para la epoca y jefes finales increíbles. Un antes y un después en el mundo de los videojuegos y en la infancia de millones.

I have not yet found a game that entertains me so much, I think it is because I will not be able to play them the same, that is, I will not be able to play it as a small child who for the first time tries to play a video game. I played the remastering, that was not done to me uncomfortable gameplay. Although I know that on the Nintendo 64, it laid the foundations of how a 3D game should be made and in 3 people (in the first person they were settled by a man named Gordon Freeman). The design of areas is what stands out the most, they are works of art. The music in each place is very good, and if you have headphones, it is immersive. At first I said that I give it a 9.9, why? You will say, simple, the story seems weak to me, however it is not bad (it is better than BOTW), the Zelda saga has games with a better story, for example: The Legend Of Zelda: Twighlit Princess, The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the past, and The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's just for that reason that my 10 is not earned, if I look at it objectively it is clear. Something I want to mention is the exploration that the game offers, and that is something that seems super important to me if your game is not open world. What do I mean about exploration? Well, I mean the secrets that each area you visit offers you, that you didn't even see a passageway that led to a piece of heart, etc. Games like BioShock perfected this with an element called suspense. Well, to finish this one, which is my first review, I wanted to say that if you don't care about graphics, this game is 100/100 recommended.… Expand

    La musica de fondo,las canciones que puedes tocar con la ocarina,las batallas,el simple hecho de poder viajar en el tiempo,los templos estan bien ambientados,lo unico malo son los graficos pero eso se pasa ya que salio en 1998,ya si quieres jugar con mejores graficos prueba el remake de 3ds y listo

    What can I say, it's Ocarina of Time. One of the most revolutionary games ever. Ocarina of Time holds up remarkably well.

It's so satisfying to finally get that medallion after a whole day of trying to get it. The bosses are also SO FUN!!!! As much as I praise it it isn't a perfect game. I feel that the overworld just hasn't aged well. I bet it was good in 1998, but now I have no desire to explore it. I think that the worst thing in the game is the Water Temple. Everyone who has played it knows just how bad it is. It's very confusing, and frustrating and it's one of those things that makes you want to rip out the hears of your very head. Although the overworld and Water Temple aren't that great it is still an amazing game. I can definitely live with Ocarina of Time being called the best game ever.… Expand

Definitely a revolution compared to 1998. I still remember the sweet music used in the game. The characters are very well written and memorable. The story is beautiful. Level design is amazing. Every place, every dungeon has a different atmosphere. Combat mechanics are a lot of fun. Boss battles are good and creative. Various side quests and small side stories to do in the open world. Switching between the two times added a difference to the game.
    But there are two parts I don't like;
    1_) Water Tample: Constantly changing items and backtracking is very tiring.
    2_) Some solutions are not clear: You don't know what to do for hours when Navi's help doesn't help either. In some places I had to seek help from the forums for a solution. Especially in the first quarter of the game, the game is not new player friendly. In some puzzles, you may not know what to do.
    Other than that, I was amazed by everything in the game. I was quite mesmerized. It's incredible to make a game like this in those years.    … Expand

    Es una obra maestra, el juego tiene una muy buena historia y no tiene casi nada (por no decir nada) aburrido, las reseñas negativas que he visto es de gente que ni lo a jugado, ademas los graficos eran bastante buenos para la epoca (algo que ya no es asi pero en su dia este juego tenia muy buenos graficos)

    Everything in Ocarina is perfect, it’s lengthy, it’s fun, the music rocks, dungeons and over world are well designed, it introduced master quest, good story that makes you feel like your link and you saved the kingdom of Hyrule and that you destroyed dark beast Ganon! Anyone who gives this below a 7 out of 10 is taking the piss or just reviewing it because it has a 99 rating...

    sobrevivir en distintos templo tengas que ponerte trajes especiales, etc. Me tardaría si mencionara todas las mecánicas pero continuare con los jefes que son algo magnifico Y combatiremos con una Araña-Ojo, Una Medusa Mutante, 2 Brujas Malvadas O Incluso Ganondorf Que es bastante entretenido tratar de derrotarlo, En Conclusión Es Con mayor Razón El mejor juego de todos los tiempos

    Kinda overrated, still a great game. But (in my opinion at least) games as Windwaker and Breath of the wild are better, the exploration is way better. And the story was was more captivating. Don't get me wrong: Ocarina of time is still an amazing game, especially for the time. But it is not as good as it was.

Why? Partly because it was the first good game I've actually played. When I first got a Nintendo 64 I was considerably young, and yet every game I played I thought was absolutely horrible. All I had were simple objective games, and as a child I thought they were hard and pointless. Then one day Ocarina of Time was brought home and I at first refused to play it. So I watched my uncle play it for a while, and straight away it was something entirely new and different. Also at the time, it was the most real (to me at least). What brought me in was the ability to actually explore and get to know people, even if the people you talked to all repeated the same things over and over no matter how many times you talked to them, but it didn't matter. This game was something new and exciting to me, and to this day I get this good old nostalgic feeling whenever I play it. It has one of the greatest stories of all time for a video game and was one of the first to create its own sort of universe and it was one of the first 3D environment game where you can see in all 360 degrees (after Mario 64 that is). Plus to this day people are still discovering new secrets to the game and so many in-depth theories arise from this title alone based upon this game that keep it interesting. The characters feel like characters and the visuals are some of the most cinematic of its time. The gameplay is also very fun, which of course is one of the most important things and there are very involving puzzles that are simple enough in appears but very complex when you get down to it. There is so much that I could say about this game, but sometimes even looking back, I'm at a loss of words at how awesome this game is.… Expand

    After reading the negative reviews I felt the need to review this game as well. It seems that most negative reviews either a) complained about the graphics of a game from 1998 or b) said they didn't finish it because it was too hard. Beyond that there was maybe 5 or 6 reviews that actually felt thought out beyond "graffiks bad so game bad".

    On to the good stuff. This game is beautifully written, musical scores are perfectly timed, and the freedom to progress the game as you see fit feels so good. It opens in this upbeat forest and things seem so happy and good. As you progress further you begin to realize that things aren't as happy as they seem.

    The ending fits into the Zelda saga perfectly and it really makes you sit back and think about everything you just went through. I loved this game. And if you are looking for a good Zelda game to get your start in the series, this fits perfectly.

    Personally, my favorite Zelda game is Twilight Princess, but this game still deserves a perfect 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Damn. Just damn. This game, in every shape and form, is THE definitive standard for gaming. There were so many games that have been released over the years that have gained the title "Best ever", but this one, this one struck. It hit gold alright. Platinum. I'm not gonna lie, I thought the game was just unfair at first. I've gotten used to games where there are markers on the map or compass. A clear and distinct direction as to what/where the player should do or go. Being my first Zelda game, I was lost. I didn't know what to do at first. I didn't know how to act or where to go because the game doesn't give me the objectives directly. Ocarina of Time (and the other Zelda games as well) relies on player exploration. A player that, in order to progress through the game, had to explore almost every nook and cranny to progress through the story, and it was beautiful. I spent tons of hours into this game, finding new stuff to discover in every place I went to and the reliance on my intellect to do puzzles that were either really fun to do or just plain confusing and unentertaining. Now I'm not going to say that I didn't use guides because that would be very hypocritical of me, but I did. Not a Zelda veteran in case you still don't know lol. The story was really good and have twists that I didn't see coming, especially with Zelda. That hit hard. I like how the time travel stuff in this game doesn't get confusing nor convoluted as such with other different pieces of media that tackle the same concept and tries to explain too much. OoT had it simple with time travel. Though, I'm a little disappointed that going back through time wasn't utilized more in terms of importance to the story. Sure, the game makes you go back through time to get an essential item needed for the next temples and the gauntlet in the Spirit temple but that's basically it. It might be annoying for some people when the player constantly jumps to different timelines, but IMO, it would've been fantastic because the idea would've possibly explored more of the Pre-Ganon world and how things turned out the way it gets in the future within our and Kid Link's eyes. Plus, time travel is just fun. The combat system is cool and is what I mostly love about this game. It was really fun slashing up fiends while using the best tactics I need to come up to on the spot to get the upper hand against enemies and bosses. Speaking of bosses, OoT is probably the only game I've played so far that balances out the difficulty of each boss in every temple. They're not too hard nor too easy. And the final fight with Ganondorf was hype all the way through. I enjoyed that fight thoroughly and gave me insane amounts of goosebumps and sweat. The game's graphics aren't necessarily bad, but it doesn't hold up well compared to the pixilated entries of the Zelda franchise, primarily A Link to the Past. Is the soundtrack in OoT supposed to be soothing or eerily creepy? I hear both. All in all, it's just a great game from head to toe. Definitely deserves 10/10.… Expand
