SUMMARY:
The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time I one of the most acclaimed videogames in history. The Zelda Saga seems to get a strong fan base thanks to Ocarina Of Time, and there's no doubt of why almost everyone in Earth likes the game. Shigeru Miyamoto did an awesome job with this game, and I am sure he is proud of it, because this game is truly a piece of art, and I'm sure it will get a bigger spot in History in the future. This game has been around for ten years, and it is still considered to be the best game of history. Mario Galaxy...

THE GOOD:
Simple yet excellent and addicting hack and slash gameplay, boasts some of the best graphics on the N64, slick controls, amazing soundtrack you’ll find yourself humming to both in game and out of the game among a decent variety of items and a simple, decent plot

THE BAD:
Lacks the Zelda theme, poor camera controls, a little on the easy side, some inconsistencies here and there and some poor choices have been made to certain places

SUMMARY:
Created by Nintendo in 1998, Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time is the Zelda series jumping from 2D to 3D, much like Super Mario 64 being Mario’s jump and Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64 being Fox’s jump, and many others followed. It was the rage for Nintendo mascots to evolve from 16-bit sprites to 32/64-bit polygons in 3D rendered environments and the like. It worked well for Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Kirby and (eventually when the Gamecube came out...took...

THE GOOD:
Let me start by saying that I know this is a late review. This game debuted before The New Millennium. By modern, gaming standards, this is an old game, but not ancient. All the same, most gamers have enjoyed this to completion. What I am about to say is not going to tell anyone anything that they do not already know. In spite of this fact, I believe it is necessary to review this game in order to make a tribute, to honor the game, and so that I would not need the Ocarina of Time itself to restore how I feel about this game now, so it will remain when the future comes.

Now, getting down to it, I will say that I have reasonable respect for the graphics. Considering its time, it is pretty good stuff. The character designs are actually pretty well done. Overall, this game has a decent look to it. We might be more adapted to the current, mainstream graphics that look almost real now, but these graphics are not bad. The characters all...

Best Player Ever's Review

THE GOOD:
-The graphics in this game are magnificent, although it may not compare to today's in-game graphics, it was some of the best the Nintendo 64 could do at the time.

-The items were very good, every weapon is useful in some way in the game, although some more than others. Each weapon and item are fun to use or to help in dungeons. For example, the boomerang, its only use in the game was in lord Jabu-Jabu's belly, but you could still use it for anything you want as a child.

-The music in this game is to have one of the best scores in any game, everywhere you go, there is sure to be some type of music playing that perfectly fits the area you are currently in. The favorites of many fans is usually the Overworld theme to Gerudo Valley, or the Overworld theme to the windmill in Kakariko Village.

-The game play in this game is something worth mentioning, the control scheme is...

THE GOOD:
+ Great Graphics
+ Awesome soundtrack
+ Epic story
+ Many cool items
+ Challenging dungeons
+ Well designed enemies
+ Lots of strategy involved

THE BAD:
- You get stuck. ALOT!
- Bosses are fun, but FAR too easy
- The save feature is kind of unfair
- Occasional camera and control mess ups

SUMMARY:
BEWARE! SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW!

Ocarina of Time is considered to be one of the best Zelda games of all time, and if you've played you will know why. The gameplay is near perfect and the controls, dungeons and bosses are superbly done. This game is the best N64 game ever. Truly astonishing.

GRAPHICS

These visuals are superb for the N64.

This game probably has the most impressive graphics of any 64 game. The...

THE GOOD:
Addicting hack'n'slash gameplay; user-friendly gameplay; quite a moving storyline; quite good graphics for back then; free-roam; quite a range of sidequests; dialogue, although not spoken, suits the game very well; plus more.

THE BAD:
Since the game explains itself, the tutorials in the beginning of the game didn't serve too much of a good purpose other than to verify your suspisions and prove your suspicion right or wrong.

SUMMARY:
Detailed Summary:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is about a little elf boy (you can name the kid, but his real name is Link) who has not yet had his fairy. A fairy named Navi talks with the Deku Tree and then Navi heads over to Link. Navi joins with Link, and then he explores around the Kokiri Forest to hone his skills. He gets a sword and shield, and then he has...
