When I first got this game 5 years ago for the N64, it was one of the best console games ever released. Now it has come to the US for the Gamecube as a preorder bonus to The Wind Waker. When you first boot up this disc it gives you the option of playing OoT or MQ. I started a MQ game because I had played OoT many times. After it loads for the only time booting the game, its like you are playing the N64 counterpart. I am amazed on how close it is to the N64 version. Graphics: 9/10-On N64 the graphics were revolutionary... on Gamecube.. they are ok. Basically it is has the same graphics if not better than the N64 version, and it doesn't have framerate problems, like some people have said. Since the graphics do look outdated compared to games on the Gamecube, I give them a 9. Sound: 10/10-Same great sound/music from the N64 version. This music brings back the memories of playing this game early into the morning. I wish they would have used the Overworld theme from Majora's Mask in the MQ, but it really doesn't matter much. FYI, the music on the ''Game Select'' screen also makes me wish they had used that in the game... but oh well. I give sound a 10. Control: 9/10-The controls are different since the game is on the Cube and using the GC controller, but not by much. I believe that the only problems with the controls is the C-Stick. It makes it a lot harder to play songs, use items and such. Since the C-Stick is the only problem, but not so bad that it makes you go insane and the rest of the controls are solid, I give it a 9. Gameplay: 10/10-The game is exactly like the N64 one except for the Master Quest that features remixed dungeons, which makes the game more challenging to people that have beaten OoT on N64 countless times. The gameplay is just like I remembered it to be, 10. Replay Value: 10/10-With all the side quests and extra things you can get, you will be playing this until you get every last secret, replay value scores a 10. This game is a great addition to your Gamecube library even if you own the original. With the MQ as an added bonus it makes the game more fun and challenging. I recommend you get this preorder bonus as soon as possible! 10/10Read full review

If you love a good action adventure games with lots of puzzles to solve do not miss out on this. Great storyline and still holds up to this day. I've played through it twice and it never gets old. Gamer since 1985 when Nintendo first started to become big and make great games. Love my Xbox and Playstation games but Zelda will always be at the top of my list forever. Do not miss out on this game it is worth playing through completely at least one time. Start on the original NES version and work up to this game you will not be disappointed!

If you are looking for a brand new layout and upgraded visuals, there are practically none here. The original Ocarina of Time and a different version (Master Quest) are included on this one disc. The first one is virtually unaltered except for more crisp visuals mainly because of newer hardware, and no real tweaking of the textures, models, etc. The Master Quest offers almost the exact same stuff, except you will find the items and puzzle triggers switched up and/or replaced in the dungeons. So although the dungeons still look identical as far as layout, the puzzles offer a slight difference. There's not much else to say unless you are a newcomer altogether to Ocarina of Time when it was released on the Nintendo 64 over ten years ago. Regarding the first Nintendo 64 Zelda, it is one of the most beautifully crafted action-adventure-puzzle games of all time, with interesting characters and story all that hooks your interest. Expect tactical battles instead of blazing-into-the-fray combat, with experimenting and weapon switching. The name of Zelda has practically become self-evident of great puzzle-solving escapades. If thinking before you act is your style of playing, this is definitely a game you should never pass up.Read full review
Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest Zelda games of all time. Master Quest is the same game with some extra dungeons. Graphics are the same at an N64 level. Master Quest gives you the option to play the standard version of Ocarina of Time if you just want to play through the original game, or if you’re like me and wanted to run through a slightly different adventure then Master Quest is right for you.

Ocarina of Time stands as one of the greatest video games ever to be published. The story is grand and epic, the gameplay offers a good blend of an action/adventure game with mix of RPG elements thrown in. The graphics, although slightly upgraded on the Gamecube, are still very dated. The disc allows the player to either choose to play the original game, or the slightly modified Master Quest version. The Master Quest is 95% identical to the original, the only difference being that the dungeons, though pretty much the same lay out, have been re-mixed. For example, you may find a different set of enemies in a room that weren't there in original or some of the puzzle elements must be solved in a different manner. This bonus disc is a great opportunity to play the game for those who haven't yet, and the Master Quest version offers those who've already played the original something different while they're intoxicated in their nostalgia.Read full review
