Immerse yourself as a young Link just starting out in Kokiri Forest, where you have to find your first weapon and embark on your timeless journey. 100% all across the board, gameplay, story/plot, controls, replay value, etc. If your unfamiliar with the Zelda game series, this is a great place to start. With a wide variety of weapons, armor, enemies, and well executed boss battles this game, it’s sure to be a hit for gamers of all ages. I definitely recommend playing if you haven’t already, or revisiting an old classic. Home to one of gamings greatest if not only in game fishing-game, one can spend hours enjoying the fishing mini-game in itself. 10/10

Action, adventure, puzzles. Swords and monsters and adorable cuteness. The Zelda series was "sandbox" style gaming long before GTA. Filled with Day of the Tentacle like puzzles to figure out. Go straight to your mission, or wander and explore. Upgrade your character, find secrets, fight skeletons, make friends, help people, figure out what that stuff you collected earlier is actually useful for. Everything is there for a reason, but that reason is usually not obvious. Save at anytime, so you can play a little at a time (though its hard not to keep playing until its late at night). Very long - just when you think you have basically beat it, it turns out all that was just the preliminary introduction, and its really barely begun. This is the only game I've finished 100%, and then played again from the beginning. This time around is my 4th run through. N64 can't compete with the graphics of a xbox360 or playstation 3 or even a Wii, but no other console has a game this much fun. For all ages. For all types of people, even! The only game I ever got my ex-wife to get into. My mom enjoyed Zelda. Gamers and non-gamers alike. Play itRead full review

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted in 1998 and was immediately heralded as one of the greatest games of its time. 14 years have passed since, and Ocarina's status has only risen. It is considered the Benchmark of the Zelda series, to which all games since have been compared. While Mario 64 was Nintendo's first fully 3D game, Ocarina (released two years later) perfected the gameplay mechanics Mario 64 introduced, while simultaneously superseding it in terms of new gameplay concepts, story, level design, and atmosphere. There are many versions of Ocarina available to purchase. The original Japanese release, packaged in a monochromatic box. The original US release was dubbed the Collector's Edition and was only available to those who preordered the game. The Collector's Edition box is gold with holographing rays emanating from the Zelda logo, "Collector's Edition" displayed near the bottom, and the cartridge inside is metallic gold. The standard release had a similar box, sans holographic rays, and the cartridge inside is grey. There was also a re-release of the game in 1999 as the Game of the Year, with artwork describing thus. The PAL version of the game came with black/gold cover artwork. Ocarina of Time was later released on the Nintendo Gamecube as Ocarina of Time: Master Quest, with more difficult dungeons, and later still completely redone in 3D and released to the Nintendo 3DS as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Ocarina of Time, in any of its incarnations, is a must-own game. If you only play one video game in your life, Ocarina should be that game.Read full review
Since Next Generation Magazine issued a poll of the top 10 best video games, there have been 43 simular polls in 34 different magazines from 1999 to 2010. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been ranked in the top 3 spots for best video game going against 16 other gaming systems, and has held its rank 53% of the time for 12 years. Ocarina of Time's placing averages it as number 1 overall, far outdoing Super Mario 64 which ranked 2nd place. The total repeats throughout the top 10 video games of all time polls show as following Mario in 2nd place having showed up in 26/43 top 10 polls while Ocarina holds a staggering 1st in 32/43 top ten polls. The fact that this game is in that many top 10 and is in the top 3 in 53% of all the polls is all you need to know about this game, obviously according to 43 polls for over 12 years gamers again and again pick this as the best, having showed up in 74% of the total polls. Nintendo also has made remakes of Ocarina of Time, they formatted the original Nintendo 64 game to other systems such as the Game Cube, Wii, Nintendo DS, and more recently there is talk about remaking the game and doing an overhaul on the graphics, not the storyline nor the interface. Why? Because Game sells as of 2011 are the lowest in history and Nintendo as a company who is professional at selling games, having done so for over 20 years, knows that this game they have made gave them the most sells for the Nintendo 64, and boosted sells when they brought it back on other systems. The guys at Nintendo are definately not dumb and know that if they supply the gamers with this again, the demand will go up again. I personally rate this as well as many others who voiced their opinions in the polls as number 1. And after reading the information alone there is no need to read another review, the polls and nintendo's desicions as a company allready show the worth of this single game. Buy it, play it, and never sell it, the value will only go up and this game is allready a classic. I have never met a person who hasn't had this in their top 10, once you play it, you will agree as well, they just don't make games like this anymore...untill Nintendo remakes it. It may have old graphics that newew generations would dub "lame", however, the gameplay and storyline make up for the graphics which aren't that bad anyways. This game with it's puzzles will keep you on your feet, if not on the computer searching for a walkthrough, nothing comes close and never will the music is absolutely amazing as well, the only con I can ever think of with this game is Navi, and if you have played or will play this game, you will want to kill her after the first 30 seconds. Besides that, you will never be disapointed by this game, I've beaten it 3 times and still play it every once and a while, but don't take my word for it, see for yourself.Read full review
The may like of this game is that ur surrounded with suffering enemies to demolish and kill . The bosses are way insane , puzzling , consuming to beat , even if you had weapons . It will still be tough to beat for your first time if you are a beginner like me . The weapons are so particular triumphant of the defense abilites and the sword just has a way of fighting in most games the controlling will give you a hard time . but this one is a definately one to take . but let's pass all of that mysterious mistake liking about the game . Let's talk about the story that I love most of all . It starts out when link rides a callous horse and the introduction begins as the deku tree talking about this legendnary boy that will become fierce , dull , and have a loving relationship with Hyrule . And about how he will basket the evil and turn it against the light of the hyrule world . Then link has a ordinary vision what he might meet in the future . After that it is time that the great fairy meet's you . She makes you feel like a retard and so self amused when it comes to Hyrule . but once for all u just fight , talk to strange town's folk , beat brutal bosses , carrie out the legendnary blade and be mature and grown up . And so many thing's I must'ent tell you unless you buy this game for a reasonable price! I love this game , and I do not be threatened who buy's this game . It's one of the best you will play till ur 39 years old or just play it if u get bored of your sports , music , movies , books , school work , or ya whatever! The only thing this game turned me down is pretty much nothing . this game is worth a 10.0 in ign , gamespot , or other reviewing website . It will never beat the old super mario bros . but give it a shot! I know you will like it in fact once you come to the last resolving end . Ganondorf wil be the toughest boss u ever fought and the music is glorious too . So buy this game if this is sold out , then better luck next time . There's alway's more to come!Read full review
