Holk rates this game: 3/5As someone who has been playing Zelda games since the original was released on the NES, I feel like I know the series well. That said, The Ocarina of Time is a good game. It isn't the best game ever made, and it isn't even the best Zelda game.
Ocarina suffers from what I call "Final Fantasy VII Disorder". This is when a game in a series is the first that many people played. Since the series in general is well-made, people usually have fond memories of the game that introduced them to said series.
Ocarina has many great things going for it. The dungeons are vast, and boss battles amount to the sum of the skills you've been practicing throughout those dungeons. The game's simple mechanics work so well together that the game is more than the sum of its parts.
It does, however, suffer from the same thing that most games of this nature do. The camera gets in the way, box-pushing puzzles abound, etc.
The game is good, yes, but it isn't perfect. No game is. It is a fun diversion that will last you a few hours. Its just another example of over-hyping. If you like it, I recommend playing A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker.
Mega Man Retro Gamer rates this game: 5/5Oh The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this considered to be one of the fan favorites of the series and not just a fan fav, also considered to be the best game of all time, this game is a true 3D environment and this is franchise's first jump to 3D and it became a fan favorite so QUICKLY, damn that's surprising, and besides every popular franchise that made the first jump to 3D is a fan fav, for instance, Super Mario 64, the plumber's first jump to 3D and that is a masterpiece and look at Sonic Adventure 1 that is a Sonic fan favorite and also liked by Sega fanboys, too, but I'm a Nintendo fanboy so I like Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64. Ahh, Nintendo, you are also a game developer pop star right up there with Capcom, but Ocarina of Time though I give it a 10/10 this game is awesome, a must have for the N64.
SushiBrawl rates this game: 5/5When this game came out on the N64, it blew away my expectations. It still stands today as one of my favorite single player games of all time. You play as a young Kokori boy named Link who is destined to become the hero of time and defeat the evil Ganondorf. Along the way, you must clear dungeons which are full of monsters, exploring and puzzles. You will be armed with a ton of weapons which add to the experience and not to mention the gigantic world of Hyrule you have to explore. This game is a defenite get and I suggest you start playing this game now. 5/5
Baffou rates this game: 5/5Probably one of the best game ever made.
No matter how many times you finished it,
you can easily return on it with the same magic you had when you played for the first time.
If you haven't played this game before.... You know what to do !!
