Advantages A great adventure game.
Disadvantages Graphics are starting to look a little dated now.

Rating: Everyone Genre: Adventure/Action/RPG Back in 1998, Nintendo fans were awaiting of release of 'The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time'. Fans of the original Zelda games for the previous Nintendo consoles, ranging from NES, SNES and Gameboy had to wait for 3 years while the game was produced, and those 3 long years were well worth the wait. In November 1998, The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina Of Time was released. The gaming community gave a sigh of relief and Nintendo were proud to present the game which they had been working on solid for 3 years! The game comes packaged in a black and golden ... more

User recommends the product

Advantages its all the zelda's that i have played
Disadvantages i dont know a lot of them :(

This review is about all the Zelda games that I have played, it will give information about many Zelda games, from many different consoles, and I hope that it helps you in many ways. ZELDA OCERINA OF TIME! The aim of the game is to collect these three magical stones, a grass one, fire one, and a water one, and once they have been collected and placed in the Temple of Time, you will be able to travel 7 years into the future, so you can save the world from Ganondorf (the main bad guy), you learn various songs, which have their own special powers. When you are a kid you have to get those magic ... more

Wii 'Em And Weep # 3 - Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 04/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Totally engrossing, so much to do, revoloutionary, utterly fantastic
Disadvantages Dare I say it... looks dated now. Oh, and the Water Temple.

*Prelude* Welcome to the third instalment of Wii 'Em And Weep, my guide to the classic games of yore available to download for your Nintendo Wii's virtual console.

And so, I present to you my review for what has been for years regarded as the greatest video game of all time: The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. *Review* The SNES was a fantastic console and hosted many equally fantastic games during it's ... more

Link’s Ocarina makes beautiful music 26/09/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages it’s fun! Great story, lovely graphics, cool mini-games and quests, replay value, Epona!!
Disadvantages Navi can become very annoying

There aren’t that many games out there that make you want to play again and again, that consume your very being from the moment you buy it, till the moment you finish it. Ocarina of Time is one of those games. An epic story of Hyrule’s very own hero, Link, once again having to save the world from peril. But the story has so many twists, games, puzzles, and much more, which give it amazing replay value. Basic Story Link is a young boy living in the Kokiri Forest, where the children never age and each have their own special fairy to guard over them. Link, however, does not have his own fairy ... more

One of the best games ever created 18/03/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Different lands to explore
Disadvantages None

This was the first ever Zelda game made with 3D graphics. In my opinion, it's one of the best games every made and is well worth buying, especially since it's now available cheap. The game is set in Hyrule, a land full of different places to explore and characters to meet. You start off in the Kokiri Forest, and later you go climb Death Mountain, an active volcano, and try to find your way through the Haunted Wasteland, which is a desert where there is a constant sandstorm. There are eight dungeons to be completed in this game, each of them interesting in their own way. The game starts off ... more

The worlds greatest time traveller 16/08/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages zelda, long game, lovely graphics, lots to do, good sounds
Disadvantages can be a little confusing, graphics are a bit dated in todays society

Despite this game being over ten years old, it still entices gamers all over the world. The sheer genius of the game is enough to keep me playing even now. Sure, there is a new-ish master quest version available, but for me, it still does not beat the amazing original on the N64. I have the UK version of the game, which has different packaging from the Japanese and US release. It's jet black with the logo and title in gold. The cartridge itself is just a plain bog standard one, however, it feels much heavier than most N64 games. This is presumably because it is much more complex than most. The ... more

A True Masterpiece. 18/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Greatest story ever told. So much gameplay.
Disadvantages None!

Not just the greatest game on the Nintendo 64...but the greatest game of all time. And that really is saying something. From the first time you will pick up the N64 controller, and you load this game...you'll be hooked for months and months, leaving your old life behind, and starting a new one. I love this game. No game will EVER beat it. It introduced me to a whole new way of playing games. In other words, it is REVOLUTIONARY and changed that way the world plays games. PLOT: The basic plot of the story is that Link is the person who must search and collect spiritual stones, before Ganondorf ... more

User recommends the product

Advantages great game | great graphics | great gameplay

Link, Thou art courageous 02/07/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages ALL
Disadvantages NONE

This game is excellent! Simple. Well, I was going to leave my opinion at that, but... Well anyway, as previous stated this game is exceptional. It really is that good. And it is probably the only game that brings out the full capabilities of the N64. ~~~~Story~~~~ As in all Zelda games, you play as Link. A small little fairy boy who lives in Kokiri Village under the protection of the Deku Tree. One day, as you are lazing around as usual, you are called before the great deku tree. He tells you that a curse has been placed upon him and only you have the power to save him. The man that placed the ... more

Advantages Beautiful graphics, amazing music, challenging puzzles, timeless gameplay
Disadvantages None.

INTRODUCTION When it comes to video games that not only help to define a genre or a console, but also to video games that help to define an entire industry, it is simply impossible to overlook the iconic “Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” which was originally released for the Nintendo 64 console way back in the 1990’s. As the first 3D Zelda title, Ocarina of Time also went on to become regarded as one of the greatest video games ever made, a title which the game still boasts to this very day in 2012. Since then, the game has been ported to the Nintendo Gamecube, the Nintendo Wii and more ... more
