A text box will pop up saying "Failed to load word. check ROM and ROM Settings".
Mystic Apprentice rates this game: 5/5This is without a doubt the best Legend of Zelda, and possibly the best game for the N64, ever made.
I had come from playing A Link to the Past before trying out The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and I was amazed.
The game play is amazing. You start out as Link as a child, and unlike RPG games, it is all action so it takes more than strategizing to make your way through this game. All the sword fights have to be done by the player, unlike the final fantasy series where you simply choose an attack from the menu.
All of the dungeons and towns in Zelda are unique, meaning that it's not the same town over and over again, only with a new name and a different color scheme ;) Each place is quite memorable with it's own set of characters and landmark distinctions. It was nice because they incorporated bits of the older Zelda games into this one, yet it was a totally new, refreshing story.
This game gets hard fast. It would seem almost impossible to get through some places without a strategy guide. So you might want to turn around and buy one the moment you get the game to save yourself hours of frustration stuck in a dungeon, at least to reference with on occasion. But don't let that turn you off, the game is absolutely amazing and blows all the other Zelda titles away!
mitchweaver1 says:The quintessential Zelda experience. If A Link to the Past didn't already pull you into this universe, Ocarina of Time certainly did. One of the most memorable games of all time.
Sargon The Knight says:Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is a best game as it has a fabulous story and nice 3D graphics. It is the first 3d Zelda game released in 1998, developed by Nintendo.
In this game the ocarina plays a great role as the entire game has a great role in it and also Master sword, which just sends the Hero Link to future about seven years forward.
The storyline is like this as the three goddesses create this world and when they flew away through sky it creates three triforce. These triforce hold the Power, Wisdom and Courage. The evil sorceror Ganon stole the triforce of power and Zelda the princess holds the triforce of wisdom and link holds the triforce power of courage. The evil lord ganon just tries to get all these power to rule over the world but here the seven sages have to shut and seal him inside a realm, for which they need a hero Link to save Hyrule.
Game Hunter III rates this game: 5/5Pretty sweet game. One of the most legendary game ever made, in my opinion. For the most part, it's a puzzle solving game with a few fights along the way to keep you entertained. You play as "Link" (or whatever you choose to name yourself) and set about saving the world, as the usual in games. What makes this game interesting is it's (spoilers, look away) Time traveling feature. You can travel to before evil took over, and after evil took over and set things up for yourself in the past for the future. And remember, if you ever get stuck, you can always cheat by looking up F.A.Q.s online. Which if you've never played a Zelda game, you probably will.
