Ocarina of time review.   Frodlex
Hello and welcome to another one of my reviews. Just in case you haven't realized by now I'm reviewing Ocarina of Time for the N64, This game was and is an outstanding master piece in the Legend of Zelda series, And until very recently the first in the time line of the series. (And yes believe it or not there is a time line spanning hundreds of years usually with a new link each time, Starting off with Skyward sword and previously this game.) This game is one of the most popular on the N64 console ever and I'm pretty sure a lot of people who had a N64 had also played this game or it's sequel at some point in time. And if not before now is your chance right here on Vizzed.com and I think it's one you should take... Here's why. Graphics: Where to start.. Well, Firstly the games graphics are pretty smoothly running but there are still a few things that always bugged me about the graphics in the game. First of them being the fact that a lot of the character sprites are pretty edgy, On my first play-though of the game before I found out I needed glasses I didn't even notice, On my second play-though afterwards it was pretty much un-bearable, But this could just be me mind you. Secondly there are a lot of surfaces that really need more texture, Like a lot of the stairs in the game are just a flat surface on a.. I'm guessing 45 degree angle or along the lines of that but anyway, All the stairs (Save a few) were really poorly done in my opinion. ( They look like sand paper, I mean it they do.) But all in all these graphics aren't the worse either, They only had so much available to them when it came to graphic generators and besides... In my opinion graphics don't make a good game. There is much more to a good game then graphics and almost everyone should know this by now. But still, I had fun sitting back to the cinematic scenes like at the end where the you know what does you know what. (Avoiding spoilers here.) Anyway.. Over all it doesn't exactly have the best graphics ever in our time, Not bad at all in its time, And they were always enjoyable despite there flaws. My score...  7 ( I know.. Maybe a little low but I have reasons and I thought I explained a few of them to back me up here.)Sound: Oh man... This sound track was amazing musically, It helped tell the story so much, Got you pumped when you needed to be, Creeped you out... You name it this soundtrack was able to pull out on you. (given you're either young enough you into the game enough to be affected by the music so much.) The sound effects were amazing as well, While some not so realistic but they all sound great and match the world perfectly, So while none of it is perfect it was made to be perfect regardless of the poor technology.. Which is something some recent games have been lacking. This game truly is commendable with the dedication that was put into this game when you play it, It shows too. With a soundtrack that works so well and a set of sound effects that contribute so much to game-play, This game has one of my favorite sound... What's the word.. Sound in general maybe? I don't know, But the sounds in this game were outstanding from beginning to end I enjoyed myself. My score... 9.Addictiveness: This game is great, Once you've beaten it you can either never touch it again or play again maybe... Never using your shield unless you need it to progress or something along those lines, Al the while when you play it you begin to feel like you're the main character (Link is the default name but that's completely your choice.) and you easily become immersed into the game. I've played though this game several times myself so trust me, I know how much people can truly love this game, It was truly a master-piece and still is to this day, Did I mention it received a 3DS remake recently? It's one of those games who have survived the test of time and is even one of the most played games on Vizzed. It's a commonly mentioned game too and might just have the most popularity out of any of the Zelda games... Zelda being the famous series that it is I'm sure you can imagine what I mean by this. This game has already lasted 15 years and remained popular, Let's see how long it'll last. My score... 9.Story: Alright, This game does have a story.. A decent one too especially seeing as you play such a huge role in it. I won't go into to much detail here because I want to avoid spoilers but you can learn this from reading a back cover on most games. You start out with the impression you are a young Kokiri (Kind of a ever living fairy kid that'll never grow up.) named "Link" (Your choice, Remember that.) who doesn't have his own fairy, Then you are summoned to go and visit the Great Deku Tree who tells you about your past and reveals that you are truly a Hylian (Like a normal person with long ears... Roughly.) and that you need to embrace your destiny.. Anyway... I really hate giving out spoilers so I'm going to cut this short because I could write a book on this games story.. I mean it, There have been Manga about this story too. Might want to give that a read if you're interested. But I also have a problem with the way this games story is played out... You see it's not like your run of the mill RPG and that's what mostly sets it apart, For better and for worse, While this makes game-play ten times better, It also changes the way the story is told in a huge fashion. My score... 7. Don't get me wrong, The story is good, But it is told in a way that kills the effect in a sense due to the fact you play it and you will mess up more than Link normally would if it were told like a story, Plus the side characters have less story in order for you to be able to interact with them, That is why my rating for this wasn't higher.Depth: While the story can be some-what lacking in depth the game and the game-play itself are not at all. You are given a huge 3D environment to explore freely and you gain more freedom as you progress through the game, And at the begging you may have only a little running room, But it quickly expands into a much wider area and a good deal of the game itself is running around and exploring it. Not only is there a lot to explore but there are secrets to find and some of them are very well hidden, But they can easily pay off even if you buy supplies before you go. ( I don't. But you could if you need to or want to.) The game is decently long too which means it'll keep you going for a great while, All in all this game is pretty deep. My score: 10.Difficulty: Well, Honestly this game isn't too hard, Tedious.. Maybe, Hard.. Nah... The combat doesn't exactly take a pro to master and the puzzles aren't even that tough, While some may be hard to figure out, I see that more as tedious than difficult. All it takes is a little persistence, It's not like you're swimming across a river or even kayaking across. (Trust me, That is difficult... Like seriously.) There are plenty of harder games out there too... Just think about some for a moment and I'm sure you'll get what I mean. Even the last boss isn't too hard... And you almost always have Navi giving you advice, Sure she's annoying... But she has saved me hours of wondering aimlessly when I was playing this as a little kid. All in all the game is more long than it is difficult. My score: 6.Overall: Now just to be clear, This isn't a combined sum of my other scores, This is my rating towards the game itself as a full. And let me tell you, It's a good game. I've already explained in good detail my thoughts on the aspects of the game and this game has never gotten boring for me to play, I used to spend hours every night playing this game until I managed to fall asleep. (Frickin' insomniac self..) Every last minute of this game was enjoyable, It still has a few minor glitches and flaws but they aren't even really worth mentioning. (Besides, Now you get to go find them.) But yeah... I don't really know how else to say this other than with... My score: 9.7.Well... This is it, I hope you've enjoyed my review, It's my longest and hopefully best yet, I had a lot of fun writing this and hope to do more soon, Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this and tell me what you think, Maybe rate it on the games page for me.... Who knows what you'll do anyway, Enjoy yourself and have a great day... I need to take a break after writing this thing. Bye.~Frodlex.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Review   pray75
Hey guys,pray75 here with a review of one of the most critically-acclaimed games of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I was but a wee lad when the game came out in 1998, and at the time, I was not allowed to play it because it was my mother's belated birthday present. Despite that, this wide-eyed eight year-old loved every single second of what I had seen, and when mom stopped playing after the Dodongo's Cavern (she really doesn't have the patience for many games, to be honest), I finally got a crack at the game that I so loved to watch my mother play.I remember my first play through pretty well, particularly because I was such a wide-eyed kid when it came to the game. When I got to Queen Gohma's Lair, right before facing the menacing beast herself, I cut the game off because I was too scared to continue that night. I even had nightmares about the giant spider, worried that she would eat both me and Link, but the next day, I sucked it up and braved the storm, defeating her in an epic battle of wits, will, and a little luck. I would also be absolutely terrified of redeads, the zombie-like creatures who would scream at you and freeze you in your tracks. When I first ventured into the Tomb of the Royal Family, I was absolutely terrified. I walked so slowly to avoid the creatures and cried when one caught me and jumped on my back. To my great joy, I found the Sun's Song, so I never had to worry about them again (at least, until recent years, when I troll them by walking in circles behind their backs). Looking back, it was extremely silly, but in those days, when the graphics were top-notch and my imagination collided with reality, you can imagine how I was feeling. I love this game so much, I have played it at least 15 times, running a three-heart challenge campaign and a non-stop play campaign. I've even beaten the Master Quest edition of the game, though I haven't been able to play the 3DS version of the game since I don't own a 3DS. If you ask me, though, it's kind of cheap since the iron boots are easier to equip than in the original (more on that later).So my history has now been shown! But if you think it will just be a fan-boyish review of the game, you'll be sadly mistaken. I'm going to analyze this game from a variety of different angles, taking note of many things I love about the game and a few things that I wish were different. That disclaimer aside, I present to you my review for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.Graphics: 10Obviously, the graphics are not anywhere near the standard of today. But in 1998, with the two best systems on the market being the Sony PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, this game really delivers, especially because it was on the graphically-weaker of the two systems. This game was at the pinnacle of the Nintendo 64’s graphical capabilities, the game that all other N64 games strived to look like. It even looked better than most of the PlayStation’s games at the time, with the exception of the FMVs of Final Fantasy VII. The world was expansive and wide; the characters were beautifully-constructed, and the effects of the enemies were just stunning – literally! I think of being struck by Ganondorf’s lightning ball or accidentally striking a jellyfish for the first time, with Link’s body engulfed in an electrical current… it was just so cool. The graphics definitely earn a 10 from me.Sound: 10One of the beautiful things about this game was the music composition. Koji Kondo (I wouldn’t have known that without looking it up) did the score for this game, being especially qualified to do so considering his previous work with the Legend of Zelda series. I have so many things to say about the music that I might not have enough room to write it all! It just fit the game perfect, and it gets even more perfect, the more I think about it. The ominous music playing when the Great Deku Tree speaks about the prophecy really makes it clear that you’re on a serious mission, but the little diddy playing when Navi approaches you gives the game a balance. Kokiri Forest’s happy track really made me feel comfortable, but the creepy music inside the Great Deku Tree spooked me out. And the battle music with Gohma really brought the intensity, inspiring me to work extra hard to take out the hated foe. Don’t forget the music in the shop or opening a treasure chest! All of this is just in the first hour or so of the game! Evidently I don’t have time to go too much further, nor do I want to bore you with my gloating, but I do want to point out a few favorites of mine. The music that plays in the Forest Temple is my favorite bar none, because it really hits home the creepiness of the level. When I hear that music, I envision Poe ghosts, Wallmasters, and Stalfos, not to mention a ceiling that dropped down on top of you. A couple more points about the sound: I love the way that music was integrated into the game via the Ocarina. Music was so important to these people that the only way you could progress in the game was to learn songs and utilize them to move forward. From the Song of Time to the Bolero of Fire, the music Link played was so versatile and excellent, and even those songs fit the situation well. I also love Link’s voice, both as a child and as an adult. It’s funny to try to emulate Adult Link falling off a cliff and hitting the ground, and it’s always going to be something I will remember. The only thing negative I can say about the game is the obnoxious sound of the female dancer’s voice and the ever-prominent “HEY, LISTEN!” that your fairy companion screeched out constantly. Other than those setbacks, the sound most definitely deserves a 10.Addictiveness: 8I scored addictiveness with 8 because I can and have played this game over and over again. That being said, it is a very cautious 8 because I don’t particularly play the game as much as I used to. There are a few reasons behind this, mostly being that I have a lot of other games to play, but the most fundamental reason is because I have played it so many times, there really isn’t a lot of incentive for me to play it again unless I’m looking for the nostalgic feel that comes with the game. That being said, I know for a fact I will play it again, especially considering my history. The game never returns void when I play it, and though I have pretty much found everything there is to find, I always discover a new way of doing things or I rediscover something else that I love about the game. So the addictiveness score is an 8.Story: 10When I think of something having a good story, I always ask the question: “Does this story inspire me to create?” With this game, there is no doubt that the answer is “YES!” There is so much I can say about the story that it isn’t funny. Especially when I was younger, this was the game of all games. From this game was my interest in the creative arts born, particularly fiction writing and screen plays. Many a dream did I have in which I assisted Link or actually was Link, taking on a different set of enemies or accomplishing a series of tasks. Young Link comes into the game as the lowliest of the lowly, with people in his own tribe judging him because he didn’t have a fairy. In game, this is explained in a rather surprising plot twist, but even the backstory of the game and Link’s heritage is interesting and well-constructed. Link’s dreams, combined with the knowledge of the Great Deku Tree, send him on a journey to see the Princess Zelda and ultimately to collect the Spiritual Stones so that they can stop Ganondorf from attempting a coup against her father. What was crazy to me at the time (and in all honestly, still is) is the fact that their efforts failed. Ganondorf staged the coup and ran Zelda away from the castle. Link, with the combined force of the Spiritual Stones and the Ocarina of Time, opens the Door of Time and retrieves the Legendary Master Sword, although his body at the time could not handle it. Coming to as an adult was so surprising to me, and the state of the world after the fact doubled that surprise. The sprawling marketplace of Link’s youth was a zombie-infested wasteland, and even the color of the sky changed. Everything was so grim, very fitting with the reality of the world as opposed to the child-like happy tone the game had previous. Another cool thing about the story was the fact that you had to go back in time on several occasions to help Adult Link succeed. The Spirit Temple is my favorite example of that, where you essentially had to accomplish part of the mission in the temple and retrieve the Silver Gauntlets before Adult Link could leave the first room. These two things working together really had me going the entire time I was playing the game, and they are just a smidgeon of what made this excellent story excellent. An important part of the story that I think should be a separate category is the characters. In this game, the character cast was excellent. Link had quite a personality, despite not really talking, and you could really connect with him because he was such a good character. Princess Zelda was cool to me, especially after you learn she is Sheik, because she is not willing to just stand by and watch her kingdom fall without a fight. Princess Ruto’s marriage plan with Link really showed her character, and even minor characters such as the guard at the base of Death Mountain showed off who they really were. Take that, “Mr. Hero. Hah hah hah!” I don’t think a guard wearing a Keaton Mask is very professional, do you?Depth: 8Here is where I become a little more critical of this game I love. Now, there is a lot to do in this game. And I mean a lot. Arrow and slingshot minigames, races you can’t win, a big trading quest, and horse-riding, there’s a lot. But there were times I felt the game was too empty. You could really have done some work in Hyrule Field, having a variety of horseback activities or other kinds of events happening out there. I just didn’t think there was enough stuff, and what was there wasn’t as interesting to me. The mask task just didn’t fulfill that inner-most desire to accomplish something awesome, you know? Then there’s the weapon list. You have a boomerang, slingshot, ocarina, bottles, arrows, hookshot, bombs, bombchus (very cool), a giant hammer, and a few magic spells, just to name a few. Maybe it’s just me, but some of these things could have been used more. I wish the magic spells had more of a place in the game. Other than using Din’s Fire to enter the Shadow Temple, I can’t think of one thing that I HAD to use it for. And the Fire and Ice arrows were next to useless (especially the Ice Arrows, what was the point of getting those?). I’d have liked to see a few more recurring enemies that required you using your hammer or something. But you know, it’s not really fair to judge a game based on what it didn’t have, especially because it was such a pioneer in gaming excellence, and I can give the depth a bigger score because of what its predecessor, Majora’s Mask, did expound upon. So because of what the game does have and the fact that it was such a different game at the time, it gets an 8.Difficulty: 6This game was never that difficult to me, with the exception of a few spots. The Water Temple’s difficulty really lied in the patience you had with the menu-switching, not to mention a few minute details in which your lack of focus caused you to miss. Fighting Dark Link and making the climb to the dungeon boss, who was difficult in and of herself, really brought me great joy, especially after beating the level. Most people hate this temple, but I loved that it was so difficult. I also felt the Ice Arrows side quest was difficult, albeit not very important to the game. I remember how difficult it was for me to infiltrate Zelda’s Castle for the first time, too. But my favorite part was sneaking around Gerudo’s Fortress, where getting caught meant getting tossed back into the cage. I was so bad at sneaking around prior to playing the Assassin’s Creed games, so I would get constantly thrown in jail over and over and over. And as frustrating as it was, it kept the game from being too easy to me. Other than these parts, the game really wasn’t that difficult. Even when I did the three-heart challenge, I didn’t find too many parts that caused me trouble, except maybe fighting Iron Knuckles (one strike took out a fairy and killed me again). The difficulty score gets a 6, particularly because it’s hard for me to judge the game’s difficulty now based on the fact that I am so much better at gaming.Overall: 10The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a staple in my life, something that I will say actually defined my life in a lot of ways. The excellent craftsmanship and the time dedicated to creating this game really shows me what kind of effort it really takes into producing a product worthy of being called one of the greatest of all time. And while, at 22, I have yet to produce a work that I can even say is the best I have, this game and everything it has to offer, even by today’s standards, really motivates me to strive to be the very best I can be. One day, I want people to enjoy what I have to offer, be it books or video games story-lines or movies or political speeches. The standard this game set will be the standard that I strive to attain in all the work that I do.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time   Liquidus29
I remember years ago when I went to a buddy's house and he bought Zelda: Ocarina of time when it first came out. It was a golden cartridge and just like its golden exterior, we knew this game was going to be epic and a adventure we would never forget. From the opening scene to the epic end, the graphics in that time was sheer perfection and well deserves the 10 rating. The details are great and contends to games even today. I always loved the sun rise and the moon of the night, it truly brought this game to life. I can go on forever about the graphics but I better stop while I can. The sound too was awesome. What other game gave you a magical ocarina to harness the harmonies of Hyrule and create your own masterpieces. The dungeon and battle music was epic and the sound effects was great too, down to Links sword swings. To me, the sound and music sets the mood to play a game and makes it epic.I was hooked to this game since it came out. I found vizzed.com by luck and finally after years of waiting I am once again hooked to Ocarina of Time and my Playstation 3 is now on vacation. Story is key and Zelda: Ocarina of Time has that and then some. Ever since the first Zelda, Link faces is timeless arch enemy Ganon (aka Ganondorf. And as always at the center of their struggle is the all powerful Triforce that Ganon desires for world domination and Link is all that stands in his way. Like I said a timeless story that never dies.       This game is plentiful of side quest, mini-games, and more. You will never get bored of this game because you can always take a break from the main story and set off do other things.  The difficulty of this game is up there people. There are more than enough dungeons and boss fights to survive. The puzzles in each dungeon will exercise your brain. The hardest temple to me was the Water Temple simply because you had to adjust the water levels constantly to reach certain places and making sure you had the keys to open the locked doors when you get there. The Sub boss u faced is the infamous Shadow Link from Zelda II on the NES. I can't tell you how many times he made me scream at the TV as a kid and here on Ocarina of Time, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Overall, the difficulty of the game is to be respected.   To close this review I am grateful once again that I get to relive the good old days by playing this game. This game is perfect in almost every way. From raiding dungeons, riding horseback in the fields of Hyrule, to fishing in a pond. This game has everything to possibly do. So if anybody wants to have a getaway from the real world and enter a place of endless adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is such a place to escape to.

Legend of Zelda: Review of Time   Fireproof
Beginning with the Famicon Disk System, The Legend of Zelda has encountered many Legends and undergone many journeys. In this version, The Ocarina of Time marked the world of gaming as one of the most anticipated games of the Nintendo 64 era and possibly the most anticipated game of all-time. There's no doubt in my mind that Ocarina of Time is the best Legend of Zelda to this day. On top of that, in the wonderful world of Vizzed, Ocarina of Time is the most popular N64 game. Released November 1998, I remember having this game per-ordered for Christmas and when I first saw that gold cartridge, I thought that was way cool. I was so absorbed into the game when I finally had an opportunity to play it. This legend is the icon and the pinnacle of The Legend of Zelda series.Overall: 10One of the many joys of playing this game begins with the controls and game play. It was easy to master the controls which left out a lot of the frustrations that games, to this day, still have trouble with. The game play was a cut above anything I had ever seen. This took Legend of Zelda to an all-time high and even higher than the Mario games with it's flawless quality. I'm also going to add that when you played Ocarina of Time, you jump right into the fun and it keeps you hooked until you defeat your long time rival, Ganon. You're not bound to any tutorial and if you know what you're doing you can make a mad dash for the things you need to do with no effort.The quality of this game is legendary. Taking into consideration the quality in graphics, quality of the music compositions, the story and much more, Legend of Zelda is the game to beat for this franchise. It set the bar high. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword of the WII fell short of that bar. They were still great games but they weren't equals to the Ocarina of Time. One of the reasons I say this is due to the high expectations set from playing Ocarina of Time. After completing Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, they just didn't equate to the greatness, you know?I remember, as a kid, having Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a Christmas present but forced to wait until my dad played and finished the game. What was funny was his excuse. He would always say "If I let you play it now... by the time I finally start playing it you'll already have it played and beat". What sucked was being made to wait a couple weeks because my dad was slow and I don't think he ever made time to finish the game -_-Sound: 9
Can you believe that the sound and the music of this game was absolutely great? Starting with the sound effects, nothing was ever too much or too annoying, at least, not to me. This game, compared to other games of the N64 was fairly better. I liked each of the songs you'd play on your Ocarina and I thought those were pretty amazing. I also liked the music for each of the levels. I think whoever composed them really did an outstanding job. Anytime I see a Goron I think of the Goron City song that's always playing in the background. Of course Hyrule field was probably the most memorable music because every time you needed to go some where, you had to travel across Hyrule Field. I did like the Gerudo Valley theme though, that was pretty amazing and I probably spent too much time there being stupid,The only thing I thought was annoying was Navi... "Look" "Listen" "HEY!!!!" NO! That fairy would get on my nerves and all I wanted to do was trap him in a bottle and through it into the dark depths of the Shadow Temple. I never needed the fairy's help and I never wanted any help. Just because you sense shadows hanging on the ceiling doesn't mean I can't see that shadow on the floor right?? Aside from this little set back, the quality of the sound and music was still great!Addictiveness: 9
I think a large part of the addictiveness of Ocarina of Time formed from it's predecessor A Link to the Past. People were just hooked on the Zelda franchise. If you grew up with parents who bought you Legend of Zelda games, you probably spent every second of your free time as a child completing whichever game you had. Like I had A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Ocarina of Time and so forth. That's not to say that Ocarina of Time isn't addicting on it's own, because it is. A Link to the Past blew people way and Ocarina of Time really blew people away. The game was just so much fun.Whether you were battling enemies or you were solving puzzles, Ocarina of Time has something in it that everyone can enjoy. It has a great story, tons of action, several puzzles, adventure, mystery and great music. There is something here that everyone can enjoy. If you're into creepy things, well there's 1 thing in particular that takes the cake... This game was creative and it easily paved a path for future gaming. One cool thing I always liked was the hidden Easter egg. It's not technically hidden but it's in a place that you only visit once in the game. When I saw it as a child it made me wonder whether or not Mario was in the game too. I later realized I was stupid haha.Story: 10
Before I begin, I wanted to state that I've liked that for the most part, each Legend of Zelda game has a different kind of Link. It's kept things interesting over the years. One of the things I find cool about this franchise is that the story is still an evolving story. It's like the land of Hyrule is set to shuffle on a play list and each time you play a game from the series it's like playing the same game, but it's a totally different game with different elements. Honestly, I'd like to see a story from this series that actually takes that concept and apply it to a game to take the never ending legend and merge the storylines into a bigger much more epic story on a more grand scale. Also throwing this out there, I really hated the owl because he talked too much and he was everywhere. He just wouldn't leave me alone.With Ocarina of Time, the story is easy to follow and easy to get into. Link is a lost boy who never had a fairy and when you begin the game, that day is the day that Link finally gets a fairy (Unfortunately this fairy needs a fairy muzzle... Note to self: Worst day of life). Link begins an adventure to uncover relics needed to open the Door of Time. When he does, Ganon takes power from the Triforce. With the help of a sage you are transformed and that's when your true adventure begins. There's more to the story but spoilers are still spoilers. You'll have to play the game to find out more.Depth: 9

I must admit that this game is pretty in-depth (for a non-strategy game). Overall, the game has a lot to offer. I think one of the biggest selling points is the number of items and equipment you can use. There's a lot you can do and each weapon is pretty valuable (with a few small exceptions). The other big thing in the game is running to many different places around Hyrule to find heart pieces that you missed. Collect 4 heart pieces and you can earn yourself another heart container and increase your life. To add to the fun, you also earn the right to use magic. Let's not forget the mini-games as well, those are pretty fun especially if you're in the mood for friend chicken. I'll also add in that you can pretty much explore wherever you like but there are some limitations.I think people would agree with me on this... The temples/dungeons etc. Those were what made Ocarina of Time stand out. The Water Temple was a tricky temple for me. I was stumped on how to defeat the mini-boss and with the size of the temple and with so much you can do, it was easy to get lost. I must admit when I was younger I was also stumped on the Forest Temple; I didn't know what to do after some point and even quit playing the game for a year because I couldn't figure it out. It's a good thing I felt smarter 1 year later after giving up because I felt pretty dumb when I finally figured it out. There's also mini-games that you can enjoy that test your luck (I really hated that chicken if you know where I'm going with this) and test your skill with other weapons.Difficulty: 7
The overall difficulty of the game doesn't really stand out. I had my problems here or there and some of the bosses proved to be somewhat difficult but all total, it was never really difficult. The game never really challenged me the way I'd like to be challenged. I mean we're talking a guy that runs around with a sword and shield so I'd like to see some steel on steel, sparks flying, epic battles, now that would make for some interesting play. Even though playing the game normally isn't all too difficult I do know that there are some challenges you can do on your own.One of the challenges I know of is the 3 heart run. You begin the game having 3 hearts. Instead of collecting more hearts, you stay at those 3. This makes you re-think and actually apply a little bit of strategy to your game because you can't sacrifice a heart or 2 to get in a couple extra swings of your sword. You're still able to recover lost life by any other means but that's restricted by what you have in your inventory. To take it a step further, play the game without any life saving items and see how far you get. We'll just pretend you have 1 life to live.Another challenge is to play the game without a shield. At some point of the game, your shield may become "lost" so don't replace it and see how far you can get without it. With finding heart pieces or without is entirely up to the level of difficulty you think you can handle. (Now remember that it is still required for specific parts of the game where you need to use a shield to progress. After that, "lose" the shield again and see if you can do it).

Wrapping Things UpLegend of Zelda has grown fairly popular over the years and is one of Nintendo's icons in the gaming industry along side the long-term rival Mario. Ocarina of Time is a fun adventure where you can do many things (even go fishing). I'd recommend this game to anyone and everyone because it's friendly to anyone and everyone. This is a must play for anyone who even visits Vizzed because it's such an awesome game. I give high praises to the developers for creating this series because without people in this world to create ideas like this, our games would be boring or we wouldn't even have games. There's a lot you can do, a lot you can see and a lot to play in this game. Even if you're someone who just dislikes the franchise, you should give the game a try and see for yourself what you're missing. There's nothing better than a first hand account to playing the game. Playing is better than wasting time reading reviews!

Ocarina of Time review   gtwalq
IntroductionThis game has been reviewed by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide but I feel I need to as well simply because I feel I need to, each time I play this game I still feel the joy and excitement as it is one of the best games ever made.  This game follows a young kokori boy named Link, the only boy in his small village without a fairy, until now.  The game starts with a fairy (Navi) travelling from the Great Deku Tree all the way to Link’s village which is tucked away behind the Hidden forest.  Upon arrival, Link is sleeping in his tree house, Navi wakes the boy and explains to him the devastation that is happening inside the Deku tree.  This is where you take control of Link for the first time in the game, you exit Link’s tree house and begin your adventure.  Unbeknownst to the player, you already have a quest to complete; you must gather a sword and shield from somewhere.  Upon arrival at the Great Deku Tree, he confirms the gut feeling link has about the evils that are waiting to unfold.  Game play 9/10Ocarina of time will eventually turn into a rescue mission for Princess Zelda, without giving too much away, OOT will send you inside of a massive tree, inside of an active volcano, across a haunted desert, across beautiful villages, to the bottom of a lake and inside the belly of a monster.  Ocarina of Time will have you explore vast landscapes which you can freely move around in, you will find yourself travelling back and forth looking for things you have forgotten or need.  OOT also uses day/night cycle system, you could be travelling from Kokori Forest to Lon Lon ranch during daylight and by the time you get there it will be night time.  Whilst exploring townships, villages and more local areas you have the option to interact with just about anyone or anything.  Graphics 9/10Nintendo did a beautiful job on the graphics, keeping in mind the time that this title came out.  You don’t notice at first but once you get yourself out in the open, you can really appreciate the graphics.  The modelling of characters and enemies is quite advanced given the limited performance capabilities of the N64 with or without expansion.  Nintendo have cleverly used 2D textures where needed to provide maximum performance, instead of modelling absolutely everything in 3D.  The animations throughout the game, whilst they seem quite simple, were quite advanced for the time and I commend Nintendo for what I'm sure was their best efforts in this category.  The overall textures applied to the 3D modelling is quite smooth and works well with the shading system N64 offers.  I give the graphics a 9/10 only because of there are a few common and over-used prefabricated models with the same applied textures.  Sound 9/10OOT has a beautiful soundtrack which really suits the surroundings of game play, for example if you are in a township the music will blend into a festive tune but as soon as you leave the township it gradually gets darker and “scary” as you travel into the wild.  The gradual change of tune is quite smooth and it gives the player a perspective of what kind of situation he or she is in whilst playing.  I give this a 9 for sound because there are certain times when Link’s moans and yells as he is in battle can get repetitive and annoying (kind of like watching the 3 Ninjas)Controls 8/10The default controls given in this game work very well with the game play, it makes melee combat quite fun and enjoyable.  The thing I like about moving around in this game is when you run off a ledge or high surface, Link will automatically jump for you.  The locking on feature comes in handy but when you are trying to manually lock onto something it can become rather annoying, this is why I give an 8 for controls.  Addictiveness 9/10Out of all of the N64 titles I have played I would say this is the most addictive game Ive played.  Sure fatigue sets in after 5+ hours of game play but the sheer excitement of finding new items and taking another chapter in Link’s quest makes you want to play on, but there comes a time when you must go to bed and sleep and if you weren't thinking about what you should do next as you fall asleep, it would most probably be in your dreams.  The only reason Addictiveness didn’t get a perfect score is because sometimes (very rarely) the game can get frustrating but at the same time I believe every good game entices frustration to a certain extent.  Story 9/10The story which was written for this game can only described by Goldie Locks (not too hot, not too cold but just right)  I thought Nintendo did an amazing job of polishing a common “woman and world in distress”, not only did they turn it into an amazing story but they made it into an amazing interactive story.  Pity the N64 cartridge and capabilities did not permit full voice acting, because whilst the translation to English was good, it was not great.  I give the story a 9, had it have been a truly original plot, it would have been perfect.  Depth 9/10As mentioned earlier, some of the places this game has to offer are exceptionally well designed and presented.  There are hundreds of hidden items, gems and heart containers.  In saying that, only about 50% of the items are required to finish the game, which gives you multiple levels of depth (“Do I need to get those last 5 heart containers?  Or will I be okay with what I have?”)  I give depth a 9.  Difficulty 8/10You don’t have to defeat every single enemy you come across, you can avoid a heck of a lot of them but in saying that isn’t it harder to avoid them than take them all on?  Not really.. It comes down to skill I say.  As I mentioned before you don’t need to collect all of the items in this game, collecting 100% of them will definitely make it harder, but more rewarding.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Review   Skittlez93
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time ReviewBy: SkittlezAh The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I beyond love this game, it is by far one of my favorite games of all time as well as my favorite Zelda game to date. On to the review!!Graphics: Rated 9I didn't give it a full 10 simply because there are so much better graphics out there now. With that being said the game had amazing graphics for its time. I remember when I first played it and being in awe of the graphics. Shocking considering the graphics of most games now, I know but back then this was considered amazing graphics. I still consider it to have pretty great graphics which is why I gave it a 9.Sound: Rated 10If you have ever played this game or just about any other Zelda game you will probably understand why I gave the sound a 10. How many of us have found ourselves humming Epona's song or any other song from the game? I know I have several times. The music and the songs played on the Ocarina are just so catchy. You find yourself humming along to them and getting them stuck in your head. Addictiveness: Rated 10I gave this game a 10 because its extremely addicting. You just want to keep playing to see whats going to happen next. Even after you have beat the game through once you still want to keep going back and playing to find hidden things you missed.Story: Rated 10I always loved the story behind every Zelda game. This one was no different. The stories are always interesting to me.Depth: Rated 10This game has so much to do. So much to find. You go through so many interesting places, meet interesting people, fight cool monsters. The worlds and the people were always so interesting. Difficulty: Rated 9I won't give it a full 10 because it wasn't THAT hard. It can get pretty difficult at times as well as pull-your-hair-out frustrating but that all just adds to the game play. Overall I give this game a 10It is one of those games that you just want to keep coming back and playing even years later. Its one of those games that draws you in and you find yourself staying up all night just to beat that one area and before you know it you haven't slept in 2 days. I really hope you will try this game. If you have played newer Zelda titles then its a must to play this game.

One of the best action-adventure games   bsnowotter
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is one of the best action-adventure games because it took one of the most ambitious leaps forward, not only in the highly-esteemed but in the gaming industry generally, and not only met but exceeded expectations in all areas.  Graphics:  The high quality of the graphics is apparent in the many varied locations, ranging from open fields to inside volcanoes or spooky castles filled with water, and also in the huge variety of creatures Link encounters, from floating electric jellyfish to fire-breathing dinosaurs over 4 times the size of the player.   Sound:  The soundtrack in this game is impressive in that all the areas of the game are accompanied with atmospheric music that not only matches the mood of the story at that point but also often the culture of the various civilizations Link meets, from the rock-eating gorons to the Zora fish people.  Many of the tracks have been remixed by fans.  The sound shows a huge attention to detail with realistic, authentic touches such as different sounds whether your sword strikes rock, wood, etc.  addictiveness:  There is a large level of depth to this game.  There is a large degree of freedom in how to approach the game, how to approach combat, and there is so much to do in the game's open world and so many opportunities to explore and engage in optional activities that a person could easily play for days stopping neither to eat or sleep.  play control:  As impressive as bringing Zelda into an open 3d world it's more impressive that the controls are so smooth, easy and ahead of their time that the controls become an invisible connection to the experience.overall, high marks for this nintendo classic!  So glad it's on vizzed.com

The One and Only   petrocelli987456
Petrocelli987456 , the new guy, reviewing  a standout amongst the most widely praised recreations ever, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.This wide-peered toward eight year-old cherished each and every second of what I had seen, and when mother quit playing after the Dodongo's Natural hollow (she truly doesn't have the persistence for some amusements, to be completely forthright), I at last got a turn the diversion that I so wanted to watch my mom play. I recollect my first play through really well, especially in light of the fact that I was such a wide-peered toward child when it went to the amusement. When I got the opportunity to Ruler Gohma's Sanctuary, just before confronting the threatening mammoth herself, I cut the amusement off on the grounds that I was excessively terrified, making it impossible to proceed with that night. I even had bad dreams about the titan arachnid, stressed that she would eat both me and Connection, however the following day, I sucked it up and overcame the tempest, overcoming her in an epic clash of minds, will, and a little good fortune. I would likewise be completely startled of redeads, the zombie-like animals who might shout at you and stop you in your tracks. When I initially wandered into the Tomb of the Regal Family, I was completely frightened. I strolled so gradually to maintain a strategic distance from the animals and cried when one got me and hopped on my back. To my extraordinary satisfaction, I discovered the Sun's Melody, so I never needed to stress over them again (at any rate, until late years, when I troll them by strolling in circles behind their backs). Thinking back, it was to a great degree senseless, yet in those days, when the illustrations were choice and my creative ability slammed into reality, you can envision how I was feeling. I cherish this diversion so much, I have played it no less than 15 times, running a three-heart test crusade and a relentless play battle. I've even beaten the Expert Journey release of the diversion, however I haven't possessed the capacity to play the 3DS variant of the amusement since I don't claim a 3DS. On the off chance that you ask me, however, it's sort of shabby since the iron boots are less demanding to prepare than in the first (more on that later). So my history has now been appeared! Be that as it may, on the off chance that you think it will simply be a fan-boyish audit of the amusement, you'll be unfortunately mixed up. I'm going to examine this diversion from an assortment of distinctive edges, observing numerous things I adore about the amusement and a couple of things that I wish were distinctive. That disclaimer aside, I present to you my audit for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Graphics: 10 Clearly, the illustrations are not anyplace close to the standard of today. In any case, in 1998, with the two best frameworks available being the Sony PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, this diversion truly conveys, particularly in light of the fact that it was on the graphically-weaker of the two frameworks. This diversion was at the zenith of the Nintendo 64's graphical capacities, the amusement that all other N64 recreations strived to resemble. It even looked superior to anything the greater part of the PlayStation's diversions at the time, except for the FMVs of Definite Dream VII. The world was extensive and wide; the characters were perfectly developed, and the impacts of the adversaries were simply staggering – truly! I consider being struck by Ganondorf's lightning ball or incidentally striking a jellyfish surprisingly, with Join's body overwhelmed in an electrical current… it was just so cool. The illustrations certainly win a 10 from me. Sound: 10 A lovely aspect concerning this amusement was the music arrangement. Koji Kondo (I wouldn't have realized that without finding it) did the score for this amusement, being particularly qualified to do as such considering his past work with the Legend of Zelda arrangement. I have such a large number of things to say in regards to the music that I won't not have enough space to compose it all! It simply fit the amusement immaculate, and it gets much more impeccable, the more I consider it. The inauspicious music playing when the Incomparable Deku Tree talks about the prediction truly makes it clear that you're on a genuine mission, however the little diddy playing when Navi approaches you gives the amusement a parity. Kokiri Backwoods cheerful track truly made me feel good, yet the unpleasant music inside the Incomparable Deku Tree spooked me out. Furthermore, the fight music with Gohma truly brought the force, moving me to work additional difficult to take out the detested enemy. Bear in mind the music in the shop or opening a fortune mid-section! The greater part of this is just in the first hour or something like that of the amusement! Apparently I don't have sufficient energy to go an excess of further, nor would I like to exhaust you with my gloating, yet I would like to bring up a couple of top choices of mine. The music that plays in the Timberland Sanctuary is my most loved without exception, in light of the fact that it truly hits home the dreadfulness of the level. When I hear that music, I imagine Poe phantoms, Wallmasters, and Stalfos, also a roof that dropped down on top of you. A couple more focuses about the sound: I adore the way that music was coordinated into the amusement by means of the Ocarina. Music was so essential to these individuals that the main way you could advance in the amusement was to learn tunes and use them to push ahead. From the Tune of Time to the Bolero of Flame, the music Connection played was so adaptable and fabulous, and even those tunes fit the circumstance well. I likewise love Join's voice, both as a kid and as a grown-up. It's clever to attempt to copy Grown-up Connection tumbling off a precipice and hitting the ground, and it's continually going to be something I will recollect. The main thing negative I can say in regards to the amusement is the upsetting sound of the female artist's voice and the ever-unmistakable "HEY, Tune in!" that your pixie friend shrieked out always. Other than those difficulties, the sound most unquestionably merits a 10. Addictiveness: 10I scored addictiveness with 8 on the grounds that I can and have played this diversion again and again. That being said, it is an extremely wary 8 in light of the fact that I don't especially play the amusement as much as I used to. There are a couple explanations for this, for the most part being that I have a great deal of different amusements to play, however the most key reason is on account of I have played it such a variety of times, there truly isn't a ton of motivator for me to play it again unless I'm searching for the nostalgic feel that accompanies the diversion. That being said, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I will play it once more, particularly considering my history. The amusement stays away for the indefinite future void when I play it, and however I have essentially discovered everything there is to discover, I generally find another method for doing things or I rediscover something else that I adore about the diversion. So the addictiveness score is a 8. Story: 10 When I consider something having a decent story, I generally pose the question: "Does this story motivate me to make?" With this amusement, there is undoubtedly the answer is "YES!" There is so much I can say in regards to the story that it isn't clever. Particularly when I was more youthful, this was the session of all recreations. From this diversion was my enthusiasm for the inventive expressions conceived, especially fiction composing and screen plays. Numerous a fantasy did I have in which I helped Connection or really was Connection, tackling an alternate arrangement of adversaries or finishing a progression of errands. Youthful Connection comes into the amusement as the lowliest of the modest, with individuals in his own tribe passing judgment on him on the grounds that he didn't have a pixie. In diversion, this is clarified in a somewhat astounding plot turn, yet even the backstory of the amusement and Join's legacy is intriguing and all around built. Join's fantasies, consolidated with the information of the Incomparable Deku Tree, send him on an adventure to see the Princess Zelda and at last to gather the Profound Stones so they can prevent Ganondorf from endeavoring an upset against her dad. What was insane to me at the time (and in all truly, still is) the way that their endeavors fizzled. Ganondorf arranged the upset and fled from the stronghold. Join, with the consolidated power of the Profound Stones and the Ocarina of Time, opens the Entryway of Time and recovers the Incredible Expert Sword, in spite of the fact that his body at the time couldn't deal with it. Coming to as a grown-up was so astounding to me, and the condition of the world sometime later multiplied that amaze. The sprawling commercial center of Join's childhood was a zombie-swarmed no man's land, and even the shade of the sky changed. Everything was so horrid, extremely fitting with the truth of the world rather than the kid like cheerful tone the diversion had past. Another cool thing about the story was the way that you needed to backtrack in time on a few events to offer Grown-up Some assistance with linking succeed. The Soul Sanctuary is my most loved illustration of that, where you basically needed to perform a portion of the mission in the sanctuary and recover the Silver Gauntlets before Grown-up Connection could leave the first room. These two things cooperating truly made them go the whole time I was playing the amusement, and they are only a smidgen of what made this incredible story superb. An essential piece of the story that I think ought to be a different classification is the characters. In this diversion, the character cast was superb. Connection had a significant identity, in spite of not by any stretch of the imagination talking, and you could truly interface with him in light of the fact that he was such a decent character. Princess Zelda was cool to me, particularly after you learn she is Sheik, in light of the fact that she is not willing to simply remain by and watch her kingdom fall without a battle. Princess Ruto's marriage arrangement with Connection truly demonstrated her character, and even minor characters, for example, the watchman at the base of Death Mountain flaunted who they truly were. Take that, "Mr. Legend. Hah!" I don't think a watchman wearing a Keaton Veil is exceptionally expert, isn't that right? depth: 8 Here is the place I turn into somewhat more disparaging of this diversion I cherish. Presently, there is a great deal to do in this game. Also, I mean a great deal. Bolt and slingshot minigames, races you can't win, a major exchanging mission, and steed riding, there's a considerable measure. Be that as it may, there were times I felt the amusement was excessively void.You could truly have done some work in Hyrule Field, having an assortment of horseback exercises or different sorts of occasions incident out there. I simply didn't think there was sufficient stuff, and what arrived wasn't as fascinating to me. The cover undertaking simply didn't satisfy that inward most craving to finish something magnificent, you know? At that point there's the weapon list. You have a boomerang, slingshot, ocarina, bottles, bolts, hookshot, bombs, bombchus (extremely cool), a goliath hammer, and a couple of enchantment spells, just to give some examples. Possibly it's equitable me, however some of these things could have been utilized more. I wish the enchantment spells had to a greater extent a spot in the diversion. Other than utilizing Noise's Flame to enter the Shadow Sanctuary, I can't consider one thing that I Needed to utilize it for. What's more, the Flame and Ice bolts were by futile (particularly the Ice Bolts, what was the purpose of getting those?). I'd have gotten a kick out of the chance to see a couple of all the more repeating foes that required you utilizing your mallet or something. Be that as it may, you know, it's not by any stretch of the imagination reasonable to judge a diversion taking into account what it didn't have, particularly in light of the fact that it was such a pioneer in gaming brilliance, and I can give the profundity a greater score as a result of what its antecedent, Majora's Veil, did clarify upon. So as a result of what the amusement has and the way that it was such an alternate diversion at the time, it gets a 8. Difficulty: 7 This diversion was never that hard to me, except for a couple spots. The Water Sanctuary's trouble truly lied in the tolerance you had with the menu-changing, also a couple of moment points of interest in which your absence of center made you miss. Battling Dull Connection and making the move to the prison manager, who was troublesome all by herself, truly brought me awesome delight, particularly in the wake of beating the level. A great many people despise this sanctuary, yet I cherished that it was so troublesome. I additionally felt the Ice Bolts side mission was troublesome, but not critical to the diversion. I recollect how troublesome it was for me to penetrate Zelda's Château interestingly, as well. Be that as it may, my most loved part was sneaking around Gerudo's Fortification, where getting got implied getting hurled once more into the confine. I was so terrible at sneaking around before playing the Professional killer's Statement of faith amusements, so I would get continually tossed behind bars again and again and over. Also, as disappointing as it seemed to be, it kept the amusement from being too simple to me. Other than these parts, the diversion truly wasn't that troublesome. Notwithstanding when I did the three-heart challenge, I didn't discover an excess of parts that brought about me inconvenience, aside from perhaps battling Iron Knuckles (one strike took out a pixie and slaughtered me once more). The trouble score gets a 6, especially on the grounds that it's hard for me to judge the diversion's trouble now in view of the way that I am such a great amount of better at gaming. Generally: 9.8The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a staple in my life, something that I will say really characterized my life from multiple points of view. The fabulous craftsmanship and the time committed to making this diversion truly demonstrates to me what sort of exertion it truly takes into delivering an item deserving of being called one of the best ever. Keeping in mind, at 22, I have yet to deliver a work that I can even say is the best I have, this amusement and all that it brings to the table, even by all accounts, truly persuades me to endeavor to be the absolute best I can be. One day, I need individuals to appreciate what I bring to the table, be it books or computer games story-lines or motion pictures or political discourses. The standard this amusement set will be the standard that I endeavor to achieve in all the work that I do

The Legend Of Zelda - Ocarina Of Time   epicpokenerd!
This review is by the great, the amazing, epicpokenerd! This is one of the first games I have ever played. It is incredibly fun, although I have not played it on vizzed yet, only on the wii, so I don't know how confusing it is on here. I do however know that it is extremely addicting. It was released on November 21st, 1998, for the N64, and later made for the gamecube and the Nintendo 3DS. It is easily the most popular legend of Zelda game of all time, possibly even the most popular N64 game of all time. I don't know a single person who, if they don't already have it,doesn't wish that they did. It is also the highest rated and most appraised Zelda game of all time. And now for the ratings: Graphics: I rate the graphics 10/10. Why? The games graphics are incredible, considering how it was made in 1998. It is seriously a game that I would expect to have been made sometime in the 21st century. What really blew me away was that it was the first 3D game ever made, and it was rare to see them even years later. The coloration for the game was perfect, so that outside in the overworld, it was nice and bright during the day to give it a nice, happy feeling, and inside the dungeons, it was dark and eerie, just enough to put you on edge. The game is great, and as you progress you will continue to be blown away and shocked.  Sound: A definite 10/10. The games sound and music is great, and a HUGE part of the game. They did great on it, and for those of you deaf gamers out there, like snowdeath, I am sorry you have to miss out on this. It has possibly the greatest sound and music of all N64 games, and I give them much credit on the echo job that they did. Addictiveness: Again, definitely a 10/10. I will play this game over and over again, even if I had already done it 10 times. There is so much stuff to get, so much to do, and so many secret areas and powers that will help you on your journey. There is even a secret sword you unlock, but only after completing a long and grueling quest. I haven't beaten it yet, but I intend to get everything there is. It is the greatest game of all time, in my opinion.                                                                               Story: A total win. 10/10. The story is extremely intricate, and it overwhelms and intoxicates you with twists and turns, massive plot lines that aren't even a part of the base story, all the while learning more and more secrets about links past. It intertwines reality with the gaming industry and makes you feel as though you are living the game, not playing it. the people who thought this up must have taken such a long time, and must have been geniuses. A lot of people play this game just to find the story behind the story. When you play it, I highly recommend listening to everything everyone says, other wise you will miss out on some important information. Depth: 10/10. As I have already said, this game is very, long, and has tons of stuff to do and to unlock in it. There are literally dozens of pieces of heart to collect in the game, and it takes forever collecting them all. There are tons of minigames in it, and tons of back stories behind some of the enemies. But, if you want to find out what they are, I highly recommend searching every house, and fighting every bad guy there is. Difficulty: I would have to say a 9/10, but for good reason. Although the game is incredibly complex at times, it can also be very simple. For instance, at ganons castle, it is very hard to beat, and very complex. However, in a few cases, such as inside the great deku tree, it is very simple and easy. But then again, that is a very rare case. Overall: I would have to rate this game as a 10/10! It is definitely one of my favorite games ever, and it made me show a wide range of emotions. It made me laugh out of its pure funniness, it made me shout as a giant spider landed right on top of me. It made me yell as it frustrated me with its intense and difficult dungeons, and it again made me laugh at how simple the confusing puzzles were. This game is very special to me, as it was the first N64 game I have ever played. Anyone who has never played, I encourage, no, I DEMAND that you play it now! Drop whatever you are doing, drop the baby kitten you are holding, drop the sketch pad you are holding and play it!

    All right so Legend Of Zelda is a massive video game franchise in case if you've been ignoring all events in the world and whatnot and it just so happens that Ocarina Of Time is the first entry that has been transitioned into 3D  and its a great stepping stone in the series. So what separates this game from the rest of the previous Zelda titles? Well its in 3D in case if you weren't reading my review then im pretty offended but anyways other than the obvious this game introduces the humanoid-ish version of  Ganondorf (the main villain in almost every Zelda game) but the humanoid-ish version is called Ganon, also since its the first 3D title the game introduces a target lock on system and as the titles suggest an ocarina plays a huge role in the game as you have to play it at certain times at the game for whichever reason.        So lets begin with the graphics and for the time it was pretty good i mean yeah sure the graphics don't hold up to today's standards what with your call of battle modern war field 4 but anyways the graphics at the time it was first released was pretty impressive but there were other N64 games with a bit more impressive graphics and especially for a first time 3D game it did a pretty nice job as you go through hyrule town it has that certain charm with people wandering around during daytime and of course everyone is at home during night. The graphics come in handy during the dungeons as it really seems that you are actually in a dungeon pretty trippy huh? So in short the visual aspect of Ocarina Of Time is pretty to look at and it has that charm to it                                                                                                      Graphics 8/10 That's some pretty mad bomb graphics if you ask me            The soundtrack is one of my favorite aspects of this game as previously mentioned before you have to play an ocarina to advance at certain points in the game and there are certain songs that play while you are in a town or dungeon etc and its pretty cool that not one scenario in the game has the same music and of course if the game was silent it would be pretty awkward. And if you don't know by now no one talks in this game conversations in this game are carried by text boxes which is alright but Link himself doesn't talk like at all weird huh? But however when doing some combat moves you will hear link grunt or yell especially when he's an adult he (i will explain this in my review) yells when you do a jumping sword slash HEYYAHHHH!!!!! so that's pretty boss.                                                                                                        Sound 9/10 music is right for the game and Link's screaming and yelling is boss          Alright so when you play this game you will come down with the Zeldas which is a disease and the symptoms are you won't be able to put down this game down and the only cure is to keep playing yes this game is so addictive you will come down with a case of the Zeldas and you won't be able to stop playing.                                                                                                           Addictiveness 10/10 be warned once you play you won't stop           The story which is probably the biggest point in the game and the story is pretty good although it might be confusing at times as i said and might i add without any spoilers in this game you will travel through time as young Link and adult Link but however through the first half of the game you will play as young Link. Anyways a fairy called Navi will accompany Link through this adventure in which you either try to obtain three spiritual stones or trying to find seven sages in the and as mentioned before Ganon is the main bad guy in the game.                                                                                                           Story 9/10 fresh story confusing if you aren't paying attention           This game is HUGE! And when i say that its means bigger than big but i just don't just mean that in the setting is big which it is but there is a whole bunch of things to do aside from the main story such as side missions or just fun little activities you will feel a tad bit overwhelmed at first but DON'T PANIC!! Its okay take things one step at a time, and of course the dungeons are pretty unique and diverse as with any game you would expect to just defeat enemy after enemy and just progress but not here you have to solve puzzles, find hidden items, and defeat bosses in a unique fashion                                                                                                               Depth 9/10 its a pretty big game and a diverse one a that                     And now for the difficulty, well to be honest its definitely not the most difficult as most of the difficulty will come from solving puzzles or finding hidden items to beat a certain dungeon or just trying to find out what to do next or even the dreaded fabled water dungeon no spoilers but yeah this particular dungeon rustled my jimmies for years. But however the boss fights are not that hard but they aren't impossible to deal with especially for me whenever im about to fight a boss i always yell out come at me bro! And every time i win i always say do you even lift? So in short this game won't anger you with its difficulty but its not a walk in the part                                                                                                                  Difficulty 7/10.....water dungeon........no              Okay in conclusion Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time is worth your attention and i promise that you will be sucked into the game cause this game revolutionized not only the rest of the Legend Of Zelda games but also 3D games in general and you will not be disappointed by this epic game even though it has some years behind it, and if you didn't read my review im gonna curl into a ball in my shower and cry seriously though this game is amazing and its worth every accolade and award.                                                                                                                   Overall 9.7/10 *cues the Legend Of Zelda theme*

The Legend Of Zelda OOT Review   nightwolf0
The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time the greatest Zelda game ever made! Or is that link to the past? Well its debatable anyways hello I'm back with another review and boy this one is going to be my favorite reviewing anyways lets get this show on the road! Ocarina Of Time the first 3rd dimensional Zelda game created removing the side scrolling action and actually bringing features to everything! So again thanks to Vizzed staff for bringing this awesome game to their collection for all to enjoy it!first is the Graphics I rate it a 9/10 the graphics were really good it was bright so people could easily see but some shading properties were missing such ass the mist in the Ghoma boss fight and one problem that was annoying in the hearts the heart that you are on vanishes so this can be irritating when its on its final heart considering you cant see how much of that heart is left so it causes misinterpretation allowing you to think you got one whole heart when you don't and you end up dying but I'm sure it wont be a major problem for proffesional Zelda players. The characters looked very good almost as good as in the n64 and Vizzed did great with the graphics on this one so good job Vizzed!now Sound I give a 10/10 the sound was great almost spot on and it was even better than Majoras Mask with less cut off so people now are more aware of their surroundings (especially keeping an eye out for wall masters) a few cut offs but not so major the sounds were really spot on and sounded very good.next is Addictiveness I give this a solid 10/10 like in Majoras Mask it was awesome with many things to do and to constantly be focused on beating the crap out of ganondorf to save the world from his evil clutches and with the game getting more and more interesting with wacky new characters left and right who would want to stop playing?next is Story this is hands down a 10/10 the story had so many twists and so many new objectives with high rewards and with huge plot twists (SPOILER ALERT) such as you accidentally helping ganondorf getting the triforce when you meant to stop him this game had such an amazing storyline with learning the history ok Kakariko Village and the mysteries behind the desert this storyline kept me on the edge of my seat!now Depth is a 10/10 this was a long game with eight temples to go through to come to the conclusion of defeating the biggest baddie of the game! With so many other mini games and side quests to do such as saving chickens shooting galleries retrieving lost pets explosive bomb mini games and going back and forth getting items across the land with a time limit this game had so many things to do and all with very high rewards to hold more items to get more money and to even get a mask that can help you all from delivering masks hunting down golden spiders hidden all across the land with quests like these that take hard work and dedication of course there are very high rewards.next is difficulty I give it a 7/10 the game isn't that difficult the puzzles can be very hard at times and also having to deal with monster that wont leave you alone for even one second! To traveling through the harsh sandstorm in the Desert Colossus (of course to only realize when you get to the temple that PROGRESSING ANY FURTHER IS IMPOSSIBLE!) sorry about that anyways many people think the water temple is confusing and very hard and yes it can but that is if you don't know its secret like I do of course I will not reveal this secret you people will figure it out for yourselves I'm sure many Zelda proffesionals know the secret too. Controls a bit confusing but all and all this game was medium difficultyOverall: 9.6/10 the game has had many things to do so many hardships so many items time traveling to save the land of Hyrule from its fate and to defeat the baddie ganondorf (FOR BLASTING ME IN THE FACE) all to protect the lovely princess of Hyrule but of course in the end good will triumph over evil and with many obstacles that we have overcome has prepared us for this one last finale between the hero and the villain in this game there was excitement, love (of course Nintendo had to make a fish fall in love with link) and many bosses that will test your skills (Dark Link: Leave it to Nintendo to make a boss with the same set of moves as the player) all and all many people will enjoy this game and to have the satisfaction of achieving victory in the end!

LoZ Ocarina of Time The Dealeo   Nincompoco
Ah Ocarina of Time...  already did Majora's Mask so why not go for the original itself Ocarina of Time? Where to start... eh just do it like the other review I guess.It starts with you as a young boy, Link, who dreams that you come face to face with a big green dude who tries and kill you. Meanwhile a fairy, Navi, speaks with the great deku tree. You have been a kokiri for a long time but still have no fairy, so Navi will be your new partner. But your wonderful leader Mido decides to disobey your gods orders and makes you go get some armor and weaponry. While he's out, might as well just take all his stuff:D. After robb... err... borrowing all his personal belongings and getting ready you find out the tree is dying and you must GO INSIDE HIM to stop the vile forces amok inside. After a showdown with a huge spider cyclops (seems to be a running theme in LoZ) you get a new heart container and find out the deku tree will die anyways and everyone will blame and hate you.  However he gives you the kokiri emerald to keep and tells you to go to hyrule castle to speak with the princess. On your way out your best friend Saria gives you a homemade ocarina.Wow! I can't wait to explore Hyrul... oh wait an owl is stopping us to spoil that we will save the world. No I do- NO I DIDN'T MEAN YES. Some ideal places to visit are the Hyrule La... LEAVE ME ALONE OWL, and Kakariko village, but you can't actually progress just yet, you have to go to the castle market. When there you run into Malon who says her dad was delivering milk and hasn't come back. So let's... GET OUT OF MY WAY STUPID OWL I KNOW OF THE CONCEPT OF TIME! Oh no! What terrible things could have happened to... oh wait he just fell asleep. Well I'm hungry, let's eat the egg Malon gave us. Hey it hatched and woke up Talon! So now we can go in the castle and find Zelda (quick tip try shooting the windows in the garden with Zelda with your slingshot). She says a man with "evil eyes" has sworn alliegance to the king, but he's the same guy from your dream and Zelda won't trust him one bit. She gives you a pass to death mountain and her bodygaurd Impa teaches you her lullaby, a song you use more than your shield O_O. On the way to the mountain you get run over by some boulders who turn out to be people called gorons who live in the mountain. When you get to the city and try to see their chief Darunia he refuses to listen to you, being your just a little kid, and you have no other choice but leave, so let's go see the zora's domain! Nope, blocked by boulders and that stupid owl is back to haunt you and tell you to visit Saria. Well forget that, let's go to LonLon Ran... DUDE DO YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN FLY AROUND STALKING SOME KID!? Not much to do in LonLon other than get rejected for a marraige proposal and get a bottle (which again are like gold in this game). So now let's go to lost woods. Now you probably visited the lost woods before a gazillion times, but the owl is back for the sake of the at home player, therefore breaking the fourth wall or again, being annoying to Link. Still he says the most helpful thing in the entire game, but it only goes downhill from here. Next when you make it to the temple Saria teaches you the song of the forest, also know as Saria's song.Finally when you get back to the mountain and play the song... O_O OMG. Well, that was a nice little moment we had there, now he says that their favorite food is being gaurded by a monster and if you can help he'll help you. Well fine, considering we were too young for you and now you want us to stop some giant dinosaur dragon of death. But hey, we get a char bracelet that let's us pick up grass:D! The dodongo's cavern is pretty challenging considering all the things that will burn your deku shield and the tough enemies. At the end is king dodongo who you must blow up from the inside before he burns your entire world upside-down. At the end though he dies in lava and you can get the goron emerald from Darunia who then decides to hug the crap out of you with his buddies. They tell you to go to the top of death mountain for a fairy to help you... and yes she's a fairy. So... WHAT DOES NAVI LOOK LIKE!?!? The owl tells you about a well hidden fountain (not really) and that the area ahead is too hot. So after talking to the fairy and getting a magic meter the owl will get you back to Kakariko village near another heart piece.You know, as we head to the zora's domain, maybe the owl isn't so bad... he eighter helps us or just, well, not do anything bad to us. He does think we are kinda stupid if we need to hear the same thing over and over again... but whatever, he isn't so bad. Let's just blow these rocks outta our way with the bomb... what do you want owl i'm bu-BOOOOOOM!!! I HATE THAT GODDA** OWL!!! Well we can buy magic beans to plant around the world to help us later, let's buy a few and plant them around. Only downside is that everytime we come back which will end up being like 4 times if you want to plant beans we have to listen to that ******* owl say the same thing over and over... anyways when you get to the waterfall play Zelda's Lullaby to open the way.The lovely king zora (and by lovely i mean HUGE) lost the princess, and if you go left you find a game where you jump off a cliff for rupees. Win, and you recieve a zora scale that will let you dive into water deeper. Now go to the lake and you will find a bottle with a note saying princess Ruto went inside a giant fish and not to tell her dad... so go tell her dad right away^-^. She apparently lost something very important, and if you haven't noticed by now the fish is kinda, well, jacked up. There are electric traps, electric enemies, electric... platforms? What is this, the fish of tomorrow? Well after you find the Zora Sapphire and throw Ruto up to get it, and she gets kidnapped and replaced by a big octo. BTW he sucks butt... after beating him you go looking for Ruto, and eventually come across the boss itself, ELECTRIC ANEMONE BARINADE! After slicing and dicing him up and turning Jabu-Jabu's belly (the fish) back to normal Ruto says she will give you the Sapphire, a gem she would give to the man who she would marry. Except you are human, so whatever you need this just freakin take it :3.You got all the gems! Yayz! But upon returning to Castle Town you reinact your nightmares as you face Ganondorf. But you are too young to beat him... however you then get the ocarina of time and open the Temple of Time and find the master sword! Then you realize Ganon was USING you to open the gate to the spirit world... crap... upon waking you find a pudgy guy saying 7 years passed while you were unconcious and you had to age cuz you were TOO YOUNG FOR THE MASTER SWORD. Noone likes children in these games... but hey now you got the sword of PWNING! XD Well he's done talking and yes I would like to hear that aga... WAIT! IT'S IT'S... IT'S YOU!!! Everything has changed over 7 years... Lon Lon Ranch is now run by Ingo, Castle Town was destroyed, Everyone took refuge at Kakariko Village, monsters are amok in the Kokiri Forest, the lake of Hyrule dried up, all the gorons are missing, and the Zora's Domain is frozen. Yeah... wow...A mysterious ninja from the Sheika tribe, Shiek (great name by the way (i swear he's a girl!)) tells you to find something in Kakariko Graveyard and then go to find Saria. Well like I said, the woods are jacked up, so it should be a bit harder. After getting past pig warriors use the hookshot you got from Dampe's ghost in the graveyard on a tree. Then you enter the forest temple. The goal is to solve puzzles to find the 3 poe sisters, then return to the main room to fight the 4th sister. Then you find Ganondorf himself! Oh it is ON BRO! I've got to say, you still look great after 7 ye... O_O okaaaay, so it was Ganon's Phantom. He goes in and out of paintings to attack, and you must shoot him with the bow you got in the dungeon. Then maybe a quaint little game of tennis. 60-love, I win. Saria turned out to be the sage of the woods, now she will stay here to prepare to lend the power of the forest to you in the final battle.Ok Navi, now what? Yeah the clouds of Death Mountain look wierd, so let's go then? Like I said, the gorons went missing, but you find one young goron still rolling around. Use a bomb to stop him and he claims to be hero of the gorons, YOU. In this case Link. Apparently Darunia named his son after you, and now he went to save the gorons offered up as sacrifice by Ganondorf to the dragon Volvagia. So put on the red suit and go for it! I actually prefer wearing the red suit... it gives resistance to deadly fire attacks, makes floor traps like spikes do less damage, and also prevents arthritis! Actually it doesn't, I wear it all the time and play for hours and I can't move my thumb around afterward... anywho Darunia goes for the dragon and tells you to save the gorons. To do this you need to find keys and switches while traversing the deadly labyrinth known as the fire temple. After getting the boss key and opening the way you see Volvagia has kinda a chinese dragony thingy going on, HOW DOES IT FLY? Well most the time he/she/it just digs underground and whacks you with his/her/it's beard. Play whackamole with the megaton hammer you found after beating up flaming elvis and you can eventually watch Volvagia burst into flames as the volcano returns to a dormant state. Turns out Darunia is the fire sage, so yeah... figures...Now you go to the frozen Zora Domain. Everyone is gone (probably migrated to Miami) and king zora is frozen in weird red ice. Go to the ice cave (by jumping over what are probably Jabu Jabu's dead frozen body parts) and find blue fire, take 2 bottles worth for the king and the shop. You also find some useful iron boots. King zora will give you a blue suit allowing you to breath underwater, and since Link's butt is very bouyant he can't dive and swim underwater without the help of iron boots. This is where things get wierd, Link technically has this thing in his pocket... but how is he not heavy and slow when he's carrying the boots instead of wearing them? How does it even fit in there? Everything else combined are probably just as heavy... AND HOW DID THOSE BOOTS MAGICALLY APPEAR ON HIS FEET!? In the water temple you will run into a zora, otherwise known as SEXY RUTO.God, who knew she'd be such a curvy fish girl... uh... I mean gross... she's a fish... and I'm... human -_-. Well she reminds us that she gave us the sapphire, and it means... YES WE'RE GONNA MARRY HER!!! YAY! But first we need to find the cause of the dried up lake and stop it. Of course we all know it has to end with a boss, but whatever.This reincarntion of the water temple, like all the others, is crap. But it does offer us one thing... when you find your way to the upper up-left corner of the temple you find a room filled with water that you walk on. There's an island, but nothing unusual. You can't leave, so we are stuck, but what is that shadowy figure? It's definitely not Wilfre Jowee... but as we approach it it attacks us. Everytime we try to attack it counters us, and if we land a blow it materializes into a dark version of us... missed it from Link's adventure? It's DARK LINK. This is one of the epicest battles in the franchise, fighting yourself... of course in the future the King of Hyrule uses him to test you... which in that case the king is a TOTAL DOUCHEWAD. But here, there's no turning back, you have to surpass yourself... or the world may very well have a new Link... but not a hero. Upon delivering the finishing blow you have reached the peak of your abilities, you have what it takes to defeat Ganon. Well that was just a preview, the final boss of the water temple is... a blob of jelly. Come to think of it, Morpheel ripped off it's name, Morpha, and Gyorg's intro looks alot like Morpha's. Was Morpha the basis of every freaking water boss from then on? Even the way you hookshot the orb in the tentacle is familiar to Morpheel's battle, oh btw you got the longshot upgrade, hookshot is twice as long. Ya know where ELSE you get a hookshot? Water temple in Twilight Princess. And the hookshot in Majora's Mask is gained directly BEFORE you go to the temple of freaking water. So WHAT THE HACK BRO? Ok Ruto, we're done, let's go start the ceremony... you're the water sage? ;'C Dang it, godd*** owl ruining my life. After the sun rises with the lake fully restored, shoot an arrow towards it while behind the two pillars in the nearby shrine to get the fire arrows!So we took care of those things... now whut? I mean those are all the areas and there are still 2 temples... wait, we never made it to the desert have we? Using the longshot you can cross the canyon and find that angry old carpenter dude saying his workers went missing after going to the gerudo fort. Gerudo's are technically like amazons, but one male is born every 100 years and takes over. Ganondorf was that male, and he went on to take over Hyrule .__. so that sucks. But what I really want to know is HOW DO THEY MAKE THE BABY? Anyways let's ask a nearby guard, she looks friendly! Hai! ^_^(1 minute later)The imprisoned me in the fort .__. fortunately we got the longshot! Get the HECK outta there and sneak past some guards or you get in the jail again, but you will always get out. :3 Now once you find a jail with a carpenter an elite gerudo will come down. You need to be careful, she'll knock you out in a few hits and then you'll have to start all over again. But once you save all 4 of them the elite will actually congratulate you! She gives you a pass that allows you to walk among the gerudo without any problem and gain access to the training grounds. To actually beat it you must have most if not all the upgrades and items. When you DO beat it you get the ice arrows! You can also practice horseback archery when the bridge is rebuilt and you have epona. But the point is to get to the desert! So let's go! Ok first we need to get past the quicksand... can we go around it? No... can we go over it? Heck no, well we're screwed, we have to find something else before we can pass...Sigh, now what? Let's just go to Kakariko village to stock up on supplies. OMG THERE'S A MONSTER!!! GAH! Sheik comes to say that this monster came from the re-opened Shadow Temple, and teaches us the song to get there. We can't actually pass though, theres a wall in the way... oh it's fake? Well, that was trippy... AWW GREAT A BIG HOLE! This sucks... we can't go to the desert OR the next temple. Well I give up, let's just end the journey here, Ganon wins, who cares... If you put the master sword back in the pedestal you can go back to when you were a kid, but first, here's something I think you'll like... :JIf you talk to the cucco lady she'll give you a pocket cucco egg, a genetically bred cucco that fits in the palm of your hand. When it hatches, go to the inn and wake Talon. If you fixed up the problems at LonLon ranch and got Epona he'll go back and the cucco will be proud! Give the happy little chicken to the lady again and she asks if you can take care of another blue cucco that has been depressed since her brother left. Now if you've followed along with the story line, the old carpenter dude is the father of the creepy guy who hung out at the tree at night 7 years ago and is ALSO the father of the cucco girl, meaning their siblings. That guy just so happens to be in the Lost Woods now, so take the cucco to him and the cucco will be happy to see him. You gain his attention with the call and he realizes you might help him. Apparantly he will die soon, and he can be saved by a medicine made by forest mushrooms. The mushrooms will spoil in a few minutes, and DO NOT teleport or else they will spoil right away. The lady in the potion shop of kakariko also happens to be his grandma, okaaay... anyways if you make it in time she will make a potion for him, so run over there. Actually I forgot if it was the mushroom or the POTION that spoils, so when you see the timer just make it to the next place quick.When you make it there he's gone, and there is a kokiri girl instead who says unless a person who doesn't come from the forest has a fairy guide they will become a stalfo. So the dude's a stalfo... great. But he left his tools behind, so for your efforts she will let you have them. You can use these to rebuild the bridge to Gerudo Fortress and try the archery, and the old carpenter guy/ father of the guy who became a stalfo will return the favor by lending you a pass for a handmade sword by biggoron. His younger brother medigorron gives you goron knives, they are actually so big you need both hands to hold it. It does double damage, but it's poorly made and breaks after like 5 uses. That and the fact that each knife and reforge costs 200 rupees makes it a terrible decision, but if you could get this sword made permanently... HECK YEAH! You'll find biggoron on top of death mountain after you beat the fire temple, but when you wake him up his eyes are very sore. He can't work under these conditions, so he gives you a... prescription for medicine? Well this is going downhill fast... -_-Give the prescription to the lake scientist, he says he needs the... eyball... of a big-eyed frog... to use the eye juice... as eye drops... gross O-o. So anyways we needed to have unfrozen king zora and give him... a... um... well I forgot what it was but you need to get it there within a time limit, I know that much. So then he gives the frog, which you bring back to the scientist, who gives you eyedrops you need to bring to death mountain within a time limit. Finally, after this long journey from growing cuccos, to saving a man's life, to getting the eyeballs of a frog for some gross eye drops, you FINALLY can cure the biggoron and give him the sword pass. He will make the strongest sword in the game, the biggoron sword, in 3 days, so come see him after 3 days for your epicness! You didn't need to do all this, just consider this as a freebie from me to you!But yeah, we still can't do anything... crap .__. guess we'll just go back to being a kid, a loser... who can't stop Ganondorf or do ANYTHING and this means the light sage will follow us around as a freaking owl again!!! Ugh, life sucks...(7 years ago, if that makes any sense...)You know windmill music box guy? I had a pretty good life until the Great Deku Tree died, since then the kokiri hate me cuz' Mido told everyone I killed him... Ruto would've married me if Ganon wouldn't have frozen the river, and then my only friends, the gorons, will be fed to a chinese dragon... I guess all I can do is play along with your song... (A,/,^,A,/,^) OMG THE WINDMILL IS FREAKING OUT! PLZ DON'T KILL ME MUSIC GUY, I DIDN'T MEAN... woah the well is empty now... and there's a cave? Aww what the heck, let's have our last adventure Navi.Little do you know you just triggered the event that let's you proceed through the game. The well is open, but that's not completely a good thing. The sign next to the wall says DARK! NARROW! SCARY! The well of 3 features! So this is what they meant, and scary is right. There are invisible walls (got stuck on that on until i was getting distance from the skulltula to boomerang it and went through the wall by accident), giant bubbles patrol the halls, and you need to get past countless traps and puzzles until you walk into the room... the door closes behind you and there are nothing, but ARMS, and HANDS with FINGERNAILS that are much to long and red... then, nothing happens at all... until eventually, YOU'RE GRABBED BY THE HANDS! AND THE DEADHAND IS COMING FOR YOU! AND HE WILL EAT YOU! WITH HIS MOOOUUTH!!! AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! AND YOU WILL DDIIIIEEEE!!!!! Also the floor is made of skulls, and so are the walls and ceiling... The deadhand everyone. From Ocarina of Time, rated E for everyone.When you DO beat it you get the lens of truth, revealing the hidden passages and traps, as well as hidden treasure and objects invisible to the naked eye. So you COULD get all the treasure here... or get the heck out. I vote for B, I'M OUTTA HERE!The lens of truth are one of few items you can use with both young and adult link, so with it you can now see hookshot targets and the passages through the shadow temple. Well, that well was creepy, in fact, I doubt this temple could be worse unless... O MY GAWD THE MINI BOSS IS A STRONGER VERSION OF THE DEADHAND NUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Well after beating THIS deadhand you get the floaty boots. I forgot the actual name, so let's just call them the floaty boots shall we? We can now use them to cross the desert, but for now let's free the curse over Kakariko shall we? Over the soul river, through the walls, to the temple boss we go! Some notable parts of this temple are the boats, they carry you over the aforementioned soul river, and you will fight stalfos atop it, there's a room with invisible walls and wallmasters (walking hands of doom related to floor masters from the forest temple), and a room with wooden spike crushers. I was also stuck for a while on this, turns out you need to use Din's fire, an upgrade from a great fairy somewhere. Maybe you could also use the fire arrows, I dunno. So whence upon the surmountable gate to the boss, you fall down a pit, figures. The boss is like the father of all the floormasters, wallmasters, and deadhands around the world, Bongo Bongo. Lot's of people have trouble with this boss, you need to shoot an arrow at his eye when it opens while the stage is being shaken up and down causing you to bounce. As for me... I just assumed to use the main item of the dungeon, not just the lens but I also use the floaty boots and problem solved. So then I proceeded to kick his butt... and, Impa? The bodyguard of Zelda? YOU'RE the shadow sage? Why is it that everyone I know is a sage? I'm gonna go on a limb and say the last potential girlfriend of mine, Malon, is also a sage... -_-One temple to go... and chances are it's in the desert. Cross the quicksand with the lighter-than-air boots, and follow the flags. You may also run into... a hippie on a flying carpet? Ok, so EVERYONE IN HYRULE is weird in some way, I can accept that. But THIS? Oh, he sells bombchu's, FIGURES! Noooo, he wouldn't sell something from a genie or, say, a hippie! He sells bomb robots! Well he tells us that if we really want to get through the desert we need to follow a ghost. Upon arriving at a shrine play a song and the ghost will tell you to follow his exact movements. Throughout the walkthrough I realized how similar some gameplay mechanics in MM are to OoT. Dampe=Deku Butler, desert ghost=gold seahorse, 4 carpenters/eggs in gerudo fortresses. Etc. etc. etc. After you finally make it to the light temple you will find out you CAN'T GET FREAKING THROUGH! And the owl is STILL watching us after we leave and Sheik teaches us a new song, so yeah... he's ran out of stuff to do again...When you go back to the temple of time you can now use the new song to teleport to the desert as young Link! Also there's another spot for magic beans, so seeing we will be coming back here in 7 years let's plant it. You also meet what's her name, leader of the gerudo, who asks you to get some sorta treasure. Crawl through a hole to get to the half of the temple for young link, and eventually make your way to the mini-boss or something... truth be told I'm reaching the point like in the Majora review where I forgot what happens next and just speed through it. So you find the silver bracelets that can be used as a grown-up as an upgrade to the goron bracelets. When you next run into the gerudo chick she's kidnapped by the two witch servants of Ganondorf Kolima and Koume, and she's gonna be the light sage isn't she? Probably... -_- how many times have I made that face in the project?Step 2, she's been kidnapped for 7 years when you think about it, that stupid owl talked to you for the last time... THANK GOD! Now you can get to the ice arrows if you go through the locked doors correctly. You know, I know this game better than I knew Majora's Mask 2 months ago... but I still got all the masks and beat the game and prefer it over this one... weird. ANYWAYS, you find out that in order to pass you must shine light on the sun faces on the walls, and later you find the (not as creepy as MM's version) mirror shield! Power of light! KILL ALL THE REDEADS! MAKE THEM RE-DEAD!!! Once you get to the witches they sick the iron knuckle on you, and upon beating it with your biggoron sword :3 you find out it's the kidnapped gerudo chick. The witches teleport her out and you proceed to the boss fight. Kolima controls ice, Koume controls fire, together they are the boss, TWINROVA. Unfortunately hot and cold don't mix, and your new shield absorbs blasts, and shoots them back as projectiles after charging one type of blast enough... so they are doomed. ^_^ But after that, they combine and use the body of that gerudo whose name STILL escapes me... and... well, just look... Yeaaaaaaaaaaah... just kill her alright?Afterward turns out the constantly mentioned gerudo is indeed the spirit sage, because I forgot the owl was already the light sage, big whoop. Now, the time has come... we must stop Ganon once and for all.Sheik wants to meet us in the temple of time before we leave, turns out he was Zelda in disguise. Not that I'm surprised, I played super smash bros already. Besides if she was a guy, why does she have such long hair and eyelashes and boobs? Obviously a chick... but the point of all this is that Zelda has the triforce of wisdom, you have the triforce of courage, and Ganondorf stole the triforce of power. She apologizes for not acting more than she did and then gives you the light arrows. Ganon knew all along that Zelda was Sheik too, don't believe me? He kidnaps Zelda right at that moment and dares you to go to the top of his castle and save her. So you COULD spend the rest of the time doing all the things doable in Hyrule in both times and Navi will constantly nag to go and freaking save zelda already OR just go beat the game, watch the credits, reset the system, and do it again and again and again. Go ahead and find all Hyrule has to offer, I'll be waiting for you to ask stuff like "where's the last great fairy shrine?" or "how do I lift this thing, it has a lifting symbol on it!" to which I'll reply "just beat Ganny already -_-".The 6 sages finally all come together and make a bridge to the castle. You then make your way to the central room leading to 6 passages and must go through each one. I call them,"the halls of the sages". In the hall of shadows you find the golden bracelets, the final upgrade to your strength of lifting things. You can go outside the castle and lift the giant pillar for the final great fairy upgrade, giving you double health! Now on your return, I personally go in the order of the sages for kicks, hall of light, forest, fire, water, shadow, and spirit. Here's the order for dummies, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, orange. After lowering the shield you must pass through an onslaught of enemies to reach the throne room of Ganon. Once you do, he claims that he finally got all the 3 triforces in one spot and the final battle begins...We get it, tennis with swords is fun...Now you get to kill Ganon and send his castle tumbling down... oh wait, it's tumbling down... CRAP ZELDA LET'S GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE! After getting out with the help of Zelda and, of course, saving her from the leftover monsters, you finally watch as Ganondorf's rein over Hyrule falls. Navi, It's ok you didn't help me, it was just tennis! Hold on, the king of evil will not die that easily, as long as the triforce of power is in his possession he cannot die. He becomes a... giant pig monster? ._. ... XD ARE YOU KIDDING? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL HOLY CRAP MY SWORD! So you'll have to battle without the master sword, but let's face it, you were probably using the biggoron sword this whole time anyways. :P However the only way to beat him is with the master sword, once you get it back USE IT! I spent tons of time trying to vanquish him with the biggoron sword, it doesn't work. So stab that *censored* in the forehead! He will finally be beaten and trapped in the spirit realm until the next game including Gangan. So now, my only other option is Malon, wanna make out? Ok, here's the ocarina of time, let's make out now! Wait... what are you... NOOOOOOOO! Godd*** it! She sent me back in the past! Well, at least I still have you Navi... wait don't go! Oh this isn't over!!! The next game, I'M GONNA BE LOOKING FOR YOU!!! Well now, you must tell Zelda about what is to come so you can prevent the dark future... and that's it? No making out with anyone, I've got at least 4 options! We just end off here? It's... over? T_T I need to go... look for Navi... gimme that ocarina! And I'll need to use a hero's shield, epona, and a bow, a hookshot, etc. Now that Navi ain't here to tell me I'm too young to use them I'm all up for them!And so ends my walkthrough of OoT, one of the best games ever made. In this short time, I showed the story, the gameplay, possibilities, and overall epicness. The songs are wonderful, the controls are smooth, it's ultra-fun, you can do like over 100 things and STILL not finish everything in the game, and I gained extra respect of this game during these pages and pages, now I can copy-paste this sucker onto a review, ladies and gentlemen, GOODNIGHT!

Great game   SUX2BU
Over all, this is really a great game. Especially for how old it is. This game has been a faithful friend to me when I didn't have any.Graphics: Really great for a 64 game. This game was way ahead of its time.Sound: I always loved the music, though the music in the Shadow Temple used to scare me a little. The sounds effects are pretty good, too.Addictiveness: If I had a copy of this game in my hands right now, it wouldn't be in my hands for very long, it would be in the system and I'd be playing it for hours on end. Still kicking myself for losing it...Story: Awesome story. I'm not going to spoil anything. Play it and find out.Depth: It's a very long game, and even if you finish the story, it would take a very long time to collect everything there is to collect, and finish the side quests.Difficulty: Certainly not easy. Most of the levels after the first 3 are difficult in some way. Most are very confusing, and that's precisely why I love this game. It took me quite awhile to beat, and provided a lot of amusement for me.You play as Link, the hero of time, on a quest to save the land of Hyrule, and the Hylian princess Zelda. After travelling through time, and making your way through several Temples, you finally battle and defeat Ganondorf,  and save Hyrule. This is my first review, yes, I know it's terrible. Hopefully any others I do will be better.

Legend of Zelda -- a definite plus!   Phil Sims
Overall:       This Zelda is the best of all of them.  Among the first RPG game I played on Nintendo 64 over a decade ago, it is still as addictive now as it was then.  There are times I do not want to stop.  While, compared to modern-day games, the graphics seem crude, for its time, Zelda was cutting edge.  Even today, it is hard to beat this game for style and performance.  Despite the fact that I am using a keyboard to play this in an emulator, I still persist in working my way through the scenarios.  This is why I rate this one a solid 10 overall for Retrogames.Graphics:      Graphics, by the standard of the early 2000's, this is the best there is.  Despite the rough-looking facial features of the characters in the close-up shots, the Ocarina of Time has some outstanding 3D images on the screen.  Nintendo sure did have their act together when they wrote the software for this one!Sound:      The music in Zelda, The Ocarina of Time is original and very light-hearted when it needs to be and dark and brooding when the scenes include danger.  Having the player get involved in the music also serves to add a dimension to the game that no other game I've ever played has.  There are so many places that the Ocarina comes into play.Addictiveness:      There is no other game quite as addicting as this one.  Even at my advance age (haha) I seem to geet lost in the game.  I think any RPG player needs to give this one a try.  Of course, be patient with the keyboard controls -- the game was designed for a Nintendo controller.Storyline:      This Zelda flows along nicely and all ages are able to figure out the way the story goes.  The addition of little video clips adds to the game nicely.  There are plenty of "side" stories to get involved with that enhance a player's experience.  The arcade games that pay off with little bonuses are a real plus.  There are plenty of oddities in the game, too.  (Try hitting the one-eyed stones with your sword a few times!)Depth:      There are way too many side trips to go into in this report.  Suffice it to say that this Zelda has plenty to keep one occupied for days on end.  The sequel to this game (Majora's Mask) took this too far and, in my opinion, made that game not as playable.  Ocarina of Time was, and still is, Nintendo's best game.Difficulty:      Well, if a 56 year old man can get through this game, anyone can!  While the battles can be challenging, they are not overly difficult.  The game provides you with an assistant that gives you hints as to how to defeat the dungeon bosses and even the more difficult to kill creatures.  I think that Ocarina of Time is just the right difficulty for all ages to play.A Final Note:      If you want a game that will challenge you, amuse you and even, at times, frustrate you to just the right level -- try Zelda: The Ocarina of Time!

Legend of Zelda: The review of Time   nathran
Hi, this is my first review so please send me a message about to fix certain parts of this review for certain Information and such, so I hope this review helps influence your decision to play Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time.Overall: The game overall is one of the best games I have ever played in my life. I love the Game because of its story-line and action game play with some puzzle elements mixed in . This I have to say is one of the games Nintendo hit right on the mark with. Graphics: Amazing Graphics for its time, though it does not meet up with the better graphic games these days . The 3D rendered graphics are Astonishing considering about 10 or 15 years later, Game Developers are now starting to do 3D game.Sound: The sound and music of Ocarina of Time is awesome and very catchy, even now I still might hum the pitches and the different assortments of sounds and music.Addictiveness :    I don't think I will be able to sit there all day and play it but given enough time , I eventually might play it again. On my first time through the Game I could not stop playing the game.Story : The story is excellent, the different twists and turns that the game throws at you makes you hunger for more. The suspense sort of rose up until the Climatic battle with Ganondorf.Depth : The game is very deeply involved in the story and in its characters and different locales. Some of the Characters have various interesting backgrounds that add to some the trivial tasks you do. I can sort of visualize some of the characters dilemmas and different " after-storey's " for certain characters that really added a sense of sympathy for some Characters. Difficulty : The controls took a bit to get used to, but overall the controls were well planned out, for ease of access to items and menu screens later in the game. The games difficulty kind of varies to me. If you know the weaknesses of your enemies then you will have a easier time fighting enemies, but if you usually have no idea what the enemies weakness is then you could be in for a some-what tough time.Wrapping it up: Legend of Zelda is one of the best games, The game just deserves a10. I hope you all like this review, bye.

Is this game really that good?   Zircron Swift

Some games are good, some games are bad, some are magnificent, and some are just so bad you want to get your hammer out, smash it up, put it in the blender, add it to some dynamite, bury it six feet under and blow it up. I am here to look at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A game that is said to be so great *someone holding a Nintendo 64 and the Ocarina of Time walks past* it is probably said to be the greatest game ever created. I have thought, “yeah, I heard a game can be good, but it can’t be that good, can it?” *the same guy thrusts a N64 controller in my hands* I don’t think a game can be that good. *someone Switches on the N64* How can a game make you feel so full of joy? I just don’t think it’s possible that such a game could ever....*looks at the title screen for Ocarina of time, and a Narrator over voice while my face is frozen* The music was soothing, relaxing even. The clouds and stars in the background looked as real as they did in real life. The animation and sound of the horse looked and sounded spectacular. It was love at first sight. It was then I knew this game would be legendary. And I was never happier that I was wrong about a game. *over voice ends*

....Exist.....*snaps out of frozen trans* You know what, take everything I said in the first paragraph, take out a hammer and smash it up, put it in the blender, add it to some dynamite, bury it six feet under and blow it up. I judged a Jekyll by its Hyde. I have a good feeling I’m going to love this game. So I’ll just make a save file......ah, I need a name. I’ll think of something different other than “Link”.....*after a short moment* accurately, I’ll go with “Link”.

So the story starts out as a guardian of the forest, the Great Deku Tree, saying that he protects the Kokiri’s, and each of Kokirian has a guardian fairy, except for one boy. This is you. We go to the Great Deku Tree who calls Navi, a fairy, and talks to him that the rise of evil is coming, and Navi must go to the boy without a fairy. Now, this is pretty rare in terms of a plot. It’s not in-your-face, it’s subtle, like your being

told the story by someone. No back story of someone else, no evil villain plotting out loud, just a short story to start off with, and gets you in the game quickly. Then later you’ll be reviled more history of Hyrule and what’s going on later. Now Navi’s flying to Links house. This is one of my favourite scenes in the history of cut-scenes. When you watch this, you will smile. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it. It’s one of the rare flying scenes that can simulate the feeling of flight. There is one more scene like this, on top of Death Mountian.

So Navi wakes Link up and they must go to the Great Deku Tree. This is when you start playing. You can explore the Kokiri Village. You can learn things here that’ll help you in game. The currency of the game is Ruppes, which are gems. They range from green (1) to “huge” (200), but those are rare and right now, you can only hold 99 ruppes. So when you’re done exploring, you can go to the Great Deku Tree. But wait, someone is blocking your path. I hate this guy. And this guy hates me. He won’t let you through unless you have been summoned by the Great Deku Tree. Well you have, but he still won’t let you through. You need a sword and shield as well. So you have to look for a sword and shield. After that, he is stunned in amazement that you have a sword and shield. He lets you through, but after saying “a wimp is still a wimp”. Why do you have to be like that?

Well, no time to worry about that, you got to go to the Great Deku Tree. He talks to you saying that a great evil is a foot, and laid a curse on him. So you must go inside him and get rid of the curse in him. This is your first “dungeon” where you must fight, explore and solve puzzles. It’s all very fun, and a nice and easy way to start off this dungeon stuff. The controls are great, locking on makes fighting a dream, the

different types of attacks adds a little tactics to your fighting, and you don’t slip or slide, which is a great thing. I’m not saying much in this dungeon, but it’s easier to play and understand it than explaining it myself. Also, when you lock onto an enemy, Navi can tell you what it’s called and what it’s weak point is, that’s helpful, but can cost you a hit when trying to press the button to listen to her.

The bosses in each dungeon are creative and fun to fight. Each with their own weakness. A personal favourite of mine is Ganonndorf at the end. What makes it so great? You’ll have to play and find out =D  The puzzles in dungeons are fun as well. Not taxing, but you have to do a bit of exploring to do them. Some are clever, like the one in the water tower. So after you get rid of the curse, you must get the three spiritual stones to open the Door to Time. Someone give you an ocarina. So that’s what an ocarina looks like. You can play the ocarina to activate magic such as turn day to night, make a storm appear, and even warps you to other areas once you know their song. There’s something satisfying about taking out an ocarina and singing a song to solve problems. Ok, it won’t work in real life, trying to prove you’re of royalty by playing “Zeldas Lullaby”, to get into the houses of Parliament, but it just seems better than whipping out a wand or chanting words to get magical effects. You make your way to Zelda for history and plot.

So yeah, keeping this brief, after you have all three spiritual stones, you head back to Zelda, only to find that something is wrong. Zelda is riding away while Gannondorf is chasing her. Zelda throws something in the moat and you get knocked down by Gannondorf. You get the item in the moat to find that it’s *gasp!* The Ocarina of Time! It possesses magical powers….what makes it different from the first ocarina? I could do the same things with that ocarina as I could with this new one. I suppose it’s the only one that can use the Song of Time to the best advantage. So you grab the master sword and……more plot and a shocking twist in game play. You have aged seven years!

Now the true adventure starts, as you must get the six medallions from the six stages, break into Gannondorfs castle, and bring peace to Hyrule. Now the story is amazing. It’s not only a game, but a well told story. The ending is very touching. Some of the music in game is magnificent. My favourite being the ones you play on the ocarina. You can play the song the warps you to other places, and you could wait to listen to the whole song. Might be short, but some are powerful. At first, what my main concern of this game is “what if I don’t know where to go? I’ll be running around for hours with no progress” Trust me when I say this. That will rarely happen. I was surprised to find that it was easy to get from one spot to the next, and this game will get you wanting to explore the whole of Hyrule.

There are also some side-quests you can take part in, such as the “Happy Mask quest” where you have to find masks for people to make them happier. There are also games you can play for items or heart piece containers. Some are easy, others are hard. At some stage, you’ll get these magic beans that’ll take you to places, you just have to wait for them to grow. There are also these Golden Skulltulas that have cursed a very rich family, the more you kill, the more rewards you get from the family.  Stuff like this and other little secrets make for a good play value. There is so much exploring to do in this game. It’s a joy. The game offers a nice challenge, some of the bosses are harder to defeat that others, and you

might die once or twice, but with the help of a fairy, those bosses are no match for you.

The graphics in this game are incredible. The transition from day to night is just stunning. It almost looks like a real sunset. I once took some time to admire the art of this game by Death Mountain, it is that good. The insides of Lord Juba-Jubas belly brings the sense almost

like you’re inside the beast itself. I’m not sure what more I can say on the game. So all I can say is this. Play five-ten minutes of it. It’s all you need. After that, you’ll love the game so much you’ll want to continue playing it. But that was me. Overall, I love this game 9.8/10. To me, this game is like what Shakespeare is to literacy, what the Matrix is to films, what the Mona Lisa is to art. To me, this is not only a game, it is part of the gaming soul, and is a must play to any gamer out there, especially Zelda fans. The perfect game cannot exist, it just can’t happen. But if it did, it’ll look quiet a lot like this game.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time   Nighthawk0973
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is without a doubt one of the best Zelda games, and, really games in general out there. Even if you compare this game to modern day titles you won't find a game that is as masterful as this. While it does have some issues, these issues can be easily overlooked when you take the positive things into consideration. From a graphics standpoint, this game is OK. Textures can be a bit iffy but the character models are really nice. One big issue I have about this game though, is the fact that it has so much areas in the game where the backgrounds are merely 2D images plastered on the wall. This can be a very irritating thing, but everything else looks good, even if it doesn't have all that HD stuff.The sound in this game is perfect. Sure some sounds are repeated 1 too many times, but they aren't bad sounds. Plus the music will blow you away. And fans of the game will be humming along to their favorite tunes. Even newcomers will be humming along to favorites once they know them in fact...The story is surprisingly not just the tale of Link saving the princess, it's a bit more in deft than that. Which makes it a story you'll keep playing over and over again. The deft this game has to offer is what you'd expect from Zelda, and that's pretty darn good. The puzzles will challenge you for a long time, and you'll spend awhile figuring out what the best way to kill each enemy is, because most enemies can't be killed via button mashing. And difficulty? Oh yeah. You're going to wonder what to do and how to get stuff at the first level. This game is tough to start and only gets tougher. Now if you happen to be fortunate enough to grab a N64 controller, than the control scheme is going to be perfect for you, because the original control scheme was just that way. If you have a controller with 2 face buttons, 3 triggers, and two analog sticks (PlayStation 2-3/Xbox 360 controller will work) than you will be able to use a nice control scheme as well. Just think about how you set this up when you do it. One analog stick should be the 'C' buttons, two face buttons should be A and B, Triggers for the Z and R keys, and the left stick for the arrow keys/analog stick. It's a pretty handy control scheme that will make you feel like you can do whatever is possible and aren't restricted by anything. Using the keyboard won't help you though, and keyboard controls are probably tough to handle. This game does what all games should do, it delivers a fresh experience that only gets better as you progress, and when you fail, you only feel like you failed because of you, not because the game cheated on you.If you have the hardware requirements and a good enough controller, you owe it to yourself to get this game.

a legendary game   SuperCrash64

 Graphics -9 

Like Super Mario  64 and Super smash bros  the 3d effects look sort of off but once again it is understandable  beside they were kind of pushing the n64 to its limits at this point and 3d games were not really improved until later Gen systems. So these graphics are kind of off .But There not really going to bother you that much .So the 3d effects were really good and very sharp and rich 

Sound 10 the sound effects have voice samples so you will hear link and everyone s voice nice and clear the Soundtrack is mainly full of neat tunes  that you will master fairly easy so Sound wise the game is full of neat voice samples and neat tunes that ant that hard to master

Addictiveness  The legend of Zelda has always been a neat adventure game with sort of a puzzle twist to it I love the n64 port the only thing I dislike about is the shadow boss is pretty easy .So I give addictiveness a 9 the rest of the game is pretty fun

Story - 10 the story is pretty neat  it has lot of cut scenes explaining what happened to everyone including the main character you play as and ganondorf   .I'm not going to explain much more because I don't want to spoil the game for everyone

Depth Legend of Zelda offers a lot of puzzle tricks  and traps and everything ,sort of like a Indiana Jones movie  and the game is pretty darn challenging get trough the bosses in the temples and what not minus the shadow boss of course. It also offers lots of upgrades you need for certain levels in the game . So depth gets a 10

Difficulty :-7 the game well put you through some pretty challenging stuff the hardest part in the game I would say is trying to free the prisoners later on  as well getting through the bosses and tricky ways of the temples in the game

Overall the game gets a 9,8 I would give a 9.9 but the Shadow Boss is pretty darn easy compared ,to the Shadow boss in Zelda 2 for nes 

But if your are in need of  A great challenging or something new this is a game for you totally worth adding to your n64 collection there s. No doubt about it this game is totally a great experience  for everyone

Legend of The Great   chris4303
Over All 9.9- What a game I remember playing this game when I was little when the N64 first came out.This game is what made me really get into the Zelda worldGraphics 9.0-Being the first 3D Zelda game, a new engine was used for both this game and eventually Major's Mask.Because this engine is based on polygonal graphics, they would require a significant amount of memory in the cartridge, and generating the graphics with simultaneity and consistency would imply the sacrifice of other aspects, such as music or textures. To solve this difficulty, some techniques were used so that the game wouldn't have any problems in this regard: When Link is facing to the right, the game only loads the memory of what is in that direction, be it enemies, characters or simply the space of the territory placed there. This means that there is literally nothing currently loaded on the sides not being witnessed by the camera angle.Sound 10-Despite being a 3D game, there is almost no voice acting from the characters, with some slight exceptions (Nevi says some words, mostly when she's calling Link); a few characters scream, such as Ganondorf and Sheik, or laugh, such as Sari and Malone.Like most Zelda games, Ocarina of Time has its music composed by Koji Kind.Surprisingly, the main theme of the Zelda series is absent in this game, as the overworld tune for this game is new. The game also uses interactive music: Normally, a background theme correspondent to where Link is can be heard; when an enemy is close to him, however, a particular combat theme can be heard, and won't stop until the enemy is defeated. In a similar way, the aforementioned overworld theme changes (not only in presence of an enemy, but also when Link is standing on a place). Koji Kind composed the Ocarina melodies with only five tones of the first three musical notes.Story 10-Ocarina of Time is the first title in the series to show Hyrule in three dimensions. The sacred land is a vast region that portrays various different ecosystems, which are populated by Hylians and other races. Hyrule Field is the central territory, and is connected to the other areas. It also surrounds Lon Ranch, where milk is produced and numerous animals are raised. Located at east from the field is Kokiri Forest, where Link lives (and where the game begins) along with the Kokiri race (who inhabits the place and, as long as they do so, they won't grow up),and it's governed by the Great Deku Tree until his death. Found north of the field is Hyrule Castle Town, where most of the Hylians live, and where Princess Zelda is raised until her turn comes to lead Hyrule. It's also where the Temple of Time was built to house the legendary Master Sword.East from Hyrule Castle Town is Kakariko Village, a place formerly inhabited by the Sheikah tribe until Impa made it public for people to live in there, and where the Graveyard houses the remains of the deceased Royal Family members. Kakariko Village itself is the starting point to reach Death Mountain, the rocky home for the proud Goron race, as well as the fierce Dodongo population, and where an active volcano can be accessed. Northeast from Hyrule Field is Zora's Domain, a crystaline river and fountain inhabited by the Zoras and governed by the King Zora until Princess Ruto takes the throne to accept her royal duty. Lake Hylia in particular, found south from the field, is not ruled by any race, but the Zoras did build a temple in there. Finally, Gerudo Desert is located west from the field, and consists of a valley, a fortress, a desert, and the surroundings of a temple; it is inhabited by the Gerudo tribe, and is considered to be a ground isolated from the rest of Hyrule.Initially, most of these areas are relatively safe from evil, and the few exceptions (Kokiri Forest, for example) have problems too specific to cause any major impact on its inhabitants, mostly having to do with the search of the Spiritual Stones. Seven years later, however, every single part of Hyrule is affected greatly by Ganondorf's evil influence, so Link must visit the sacred temples so that the sages can be awakened and the curses can be undone, one by one.

This was my favgame growing up!   koolkat5683
The Zelda series has made a great leap through the coming years and this one is one of the best Zelda games out there, especially for the Nintendo 64 game console, it's a must have classic for anyone who collects or enjoys video games of the late 90's. Zelda: Ocarina of Time displays what a great puzzle/adventure game Nintendo had to offer at the time. The concept is amazing and it's worth the hours of game play and side quests you put into the game, the game play is absolutely amazing; now that game has been mistaken to be an RPG but that would only be a root for the combat of the game, hence there is no leveling up or obtaining life or magic for defeating a certain amount of monsters in the game, it goes by how well you can find heart pieces and fairy fountains in the game itself. The sound is perfect and never fails to work, the music is probably the most catchy part of this game and is very good for a Zelda game but most of them are recycled tunes from other previous Zelda games just in a better and more clearer sound. The graphics to this day still seem to be pretty good for a 1998 game since others weren't as great at the time, they always impress and show details that not other small game could really show such as hidden places or hidden walls that you need to blast through , overall the graphics may not be the best now but they were great for the time the game was released. The replay value for this game is very good, I could beat it a lot of times and it never gets old, But I play because the gripping story, great game play and awesome side quests with amazing puzzles to unlock. Overall the game is a 10/10 because it was a good classic that was fun to play and has great replay value.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time   Snowchu
The famed, the most greatly reviewed and criticized game of the Legend of Zelda series, will be reviewed by yours truly, Snowdeath! Ocarina of Time is one of the most sought after game on the N64, and one of the most famous Legend of Zelda game overall. What makes it even better, is the fact it has a psychotic sequel, called Majora’s Mask. That’s a different story for a different time. Well, as for information regarding to this famous game… It was released on November 21, 1998 as a N64 cartridge. Ocarina of Time was widely considered by gamers and reviewers alike to be the greatest game ever created. The question - is that true? Read on. Graphics – 9 At the time when it was released, 3D was rare. Yet Nintendo made it smooth, and made the world breath-taking. It had full charm over the game, made people interested in the game just because of the graphics. The colors weren’t too dark, too bright, it was perfectly laid out. Sure, it may not look realistic, but it was in the flow of the game exactly. 9 is the score for the graphics. Sound – BLANK ( I’m fully deaf in both ears, so I can’t review this section, otherwise it would be a bluntly obvious lie. ) Addictiveness – 10 A whooping 10! Why? Ocarina of Time is as addictive as it can be, ever. That’s in my opinion, though. For ten years, I’ve been playing this loveable and epic game, over and over again. Even if it is a full RPG story-line based, there is a certain enchantment that lulls you into playing it again, maybe after a week or a month, depending on your tastes. What I think is that you will DEFINITELY re-play it eventually. Story – 10 10 again! The story-line of this Legend of Zelda is immersing, highly detailed and intricate. It is well written, and well thought, and it shows clearly in the game. A lot of gamers played this game just for the story-line, along with defeating the game. The story within the game is a huge part of the game-play, and since it is a perfect fit with the game, I give it a 10. Depth – 8 The first dungeon, inside the Deku Tree, were extremely simplistic for those who did play a RPG before, but it got progressively harder, especially at Jabu Jabu’s Belly, which can be extremely confusing if it is your first time. The Water Temple is what made me give it a lower score. It is nearly impossible to pass that level unless you have hours and hours of free time and a bottle of Advil for your poor brain. However, the dungeons and the mini-dungeons, and even the quests in it are extremely fun and enjoyable for hours, which is why I give it an 8. Difficulty – 7 The natural controls for the game are a N64 controller, and it’s hard to control Link in the game with a keyboard, since all of the buttons on the controller is used. I had to reconfigure my keyboard buttons several times to have satisfaction of the game, and even so, it’s annoying to have to double-click the screen to get smooth Y + X angles, so I can precisely shoot my bow / hookshot at whatever target. Nevertheless, still very nice! Overall – 9.4 This is my first-ever played video game, so I might be biased, but this is one of my ultimate favourite games ever. If you haven’t played it, I tell you, play it NOW. Discard whatever you were doing before you read this review, play it now. It is a masterpiece of time. No, I am not overrating this. It is actually great, maybe not perfect, but that charms up the game too. In all, I love this game. That’s all. It has a special place near my heart. When I was young, I laughed and cried out in fear while playing this game. Now, I repeatedly play this game and simply beat up Skullutas, check out the funny Mario pictures at Hyrule Castle, and just explore. It is legendary, that’s all.

Link takes on the 3d world   DoubleD1997
The legend of Zelda series has always stunned us with its amazing game play. When the Nintendo 64 came out Nintendo decided to take Link into the 3D world and see what would happen, and what I can say is that they did a darn good job with this game. This is my review.Graphics 9The graphics in this game are amazing everything is beautifully designed such as your surroundings, enemies, weapons I can go on but you get the point. The only thing I can say that looks bad is the way the faces were designed they honestly don't look presentable but for 64 bit I can say that is only acceptable nothing more. Overall though The graphics are great.Sound 10The music is what I can say a masterpiece really. The music is so smooth I can feel the music honestly touching my soul and making my spirit move. You can tell Nintendo really focused on the music because each song in the game is introduced in perfect timing each music sets a different mood, like when you meet Princess Zelda it gives a song of peace and when you are fighting monsters it gives an action type music. It gives the right music each time and it gives the player the right mood at whatever situation the player is.Addictivness 10 This game is highly addictive once you start it is hard to stop. There are so many things to do in this game because you are free to roam around the land of Hyrule and not only is there primary objectives there are also secondary objectives which gives the player the right to search the lands and really giving the player a challenge not only to beat all the objectives but also searching for items such as new weapons and power ups. This game offers a lot to do and will really give you an awesome adventure.Story 10The story is brilliant it is well structured and well thought. It is about an evil king named Ganondorf who wants to take over the triforce so he can rule Hyrule and eventually the world so it is up to Link to stop him but with that he will need to obtain six medallions from six sages so he can have the power to stop him and bring peace to Hyrule. The story is marvelous because it answers so many questions zelda fans have been waiting to be answered like what is the true power of the triforce and the story of Link. The story is also great because of what the story possesses it just wants you to keep playing so you can find out what happens next in the story. You can tell that this story is no ordinary one. Depth 10Like what I said this game offers a lot of secondary objectives and a lot of collectibles. The game is huge it has very detailed temples that can take hours or even days to complete. Outside temples there is also huge lands to explore and other cities to discover which just wants you to play more to really find the great things Hyrule has to offer.Difficulty 7The game is not as hard as other games I played but I can tell you there will be parts where you will need to put your A game because there are some puzzles that can be tricky (water temple is a great example). Don't think that the enemies aren't hard either, boss fights can be a little complicated if you do not figure out each boss's pattern. Overall if you know how to handle the controls and can keep up with this games complications you shouldn't find as much difficulty in this game.Overall 9.7  The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time deserves a 9.7 this game really hits the major points on what we are looking for in a game. Nintendo really proves that Link and Zelda can come out from 2D to 3D and still be successful. I know I will never forget this game because of how great it is. As always The Legend of Zelda has made another brilliant and successful game.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Review   Marcmoney
Overall - 10

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest games ever made by Nintendo.  I would never stop playing this game when I was a child.  It is just a good Zelda game to play.  I remembered that I have beaten this game about 3 to 4 times.  It sounds crazy but that is how great the game is.

Graphics - 10

The graphics are amazingly great.  It is very 3D and the images that the music plays and the attack moves that Link does makes it very cool.  Sometimes when I play one of my beaten files, I just enjoy the life of being Zelda, I just go around and play songs to see the awesome images that it gives out.

Sound - 10

The sound... I can't imagine the sound it is in the game.  The sound in this game is freaking awesome, especially the Ocarina songs.  It just gives you a beautiful melody and I would never stop playing them.  The sound effects sound very realistic.

Addictiveness - 10

Like I said, I have beaten this game about 3 to 4 times.  I play this game constantly.  It is just so awesome to have this game. :)

Story - 10

Do not get me started with the story.  It is fantastic, this is what keeps me playing this game all the time.  Link finally gets a fairy and is summoned to the Great Deku Tree.  Link tries to save the Great Deku Tree, but couldn't and gives him a green spiritual stone.  Link had to get out of the Kokiri Forest to go see a princess in Hyrule.  Link's friend, Saria, knew that one day Link would leave the forest.  By the time Link goes to the castle.  Zelda offers his assistance in the battle of protecting Hyrule, but Link had to go in time and stop Ganondorf and save Hyrule.  That is much I can give because I do not want to give out the entire story of the game. :P

Depth - 10

The game has a lot of features.  You get a lot of items for Link, there is Ocarina songs you need to get, and you can find Heart Pieces and secrets in the game.  There is just a lot of things you can do in the game.  Once I was done with the game, I would try and find all the Heart Pieces and then just enjoy the game play. :)

Difficulty - 4

The game is not that hard.  There is no difficulty changing in it, but it goes out easy and then later hard.  It was not hard for me to play this game.  The only thing hard in this game is the Water Temple.  That is the worst place that I ever wanted to play in.  I just couldn't stand play that level.

Wrap Things Up...

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was known for the best N64 game ever.  I highly recommend trying this game out because I am a huge fan of Zelda and so is Robin Williams (if you hadn't known that).  I even bought an Ocarina because of this game.  I am very good with it and it sounds beautiful just like the game.  I also made a book of this.  I am not publishing it because it is only like 20 pages. :P It sounds very good.  Try this game out, I guarantee you Zelda fans will love it. :D

Balance.   Crematemeplease
The Legend Of Zelda, The Ocarina Of Time. For the longest time I heard a lot of things about this game. I even knew people who owned a Nintendo 64, and only this game. And no other systems. All they did was play Zelda. I had played a lot of the handheld Zelda games, and didn't think they were that bad, but certainly not an all around amazing game. I opened up Ocarina Of Time, and was shocked at even the intro. It gripped me, the soothing music, the cinematic way Link rode his horse through a dark field, the title slowly appearing, and even the entirety of making a file, I was excited to play the game. So, I started the game, and (for it's time) the graphics amazed me. The scene of the fairy going to Link had me all around astounded. So, as I'm making my way into learning the pretty difficult controls (due to me using a keyboard) I see character development, in even minor characters I'll probably never see again. I can also map out how people feel about Link's lack of a fairy, and how he must have been treated before this day. So, I get my sword an shield after adventuring and learning, and get into the first dungeon. It took me a long time, and was difficult, but not frustrating. The use of different items was interesting, and I was intrigued by the boss fight. This game had me gripped from the beginning, and I'm still working on more progress. I have a feeling this is a classic I'll be playing for a long time. The Legend Of Zelda, The Ocarina Of Time really is one of the best games ever, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it yet.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Review   Benji16
???Now lets begin with this review. My #1 childhood most favorite game. Graphics: 9/10 Ok, so these graphics get as good as they?get in 1998. Compared to most N64 games these graphics are top?of the line?the best. Another N64 game that has?very great detailed graphics was Banjo -?Kazooie. I think this game was the start of the small detailed actions in the game.?An example?is when Link?is?fighting Ganon. Now the detail on Ganon is just outstanding for the N64 system. As I have said before, the comparison between most N64 games is?just such a difference. Sound: 9/10 Now the sound is quite detailed. Most N64 games at this time had all pretty good sounds in game play. But again, I think Ocarina of Time?is?one of the best.?For the music, in my opinion it is just amazing. An example is all the temples music. Probably my favorite temple / boss place is Dodongo's Cavern. The music is just eerie. When you first walk in, you see that Dodongo huge skull of a head and just the place is all dark with bats flying around . . . and then all of the sudden the music, just?bone chilling when you think about it. Another great aspect of the?sound in the game is when?the Poe appears. just that sound kind of freaks me out the first?time if I am not expecting it.?Also when ever you attack the Poe / kill the Poe the sound is just spot on.?You can never forget about the sounds of the Ocarina. I just love the music?that?plays out of it?. . . it is just so realistic in my mind, plus the songs that you learn and play are just so creative and original.? ? Addictiveness: 8/10 In the very beginning of the game, I remember never wanting to stop playing this game. Why? Well I just want to get to see what is next. Now when the game progresses, when it gets a bit more difficult and a bit more thinking put into the game, ( mostly when Link becomes and adult ) the game gets a bit boring. Not like very boring to the point that you will not play it anymore, but to the point where I would not have the urge to play as often. Now do not get me wrong, this is probably the most additive Legend of Zelda game in my opinion, so this is just an eight. Story: 10/10 Ok, the big story of The Legend of Zelda. Now each Legend of Zelda game has a slightly different story line. Like in The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past, the main boss is Agahnim who steals the Triforce that eventually makes another dimension. But in my opinion, the story line that really makes sense is Ocarina of Time. I love how when you see The Great Deku Tree after you have beaten the boss in him, he tells you the story. The story of the triforce and the three fairy like figures that created Hyrule. Another Legend of Zelda that the story I did not like as much was how Link turned into a Wolf when he emerged in to the Twighlight in the game : Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess. So back to Ocarina of time, Young Link has yet to know that he is the chosen one. He meets a young girl, Saria, who in the future will become one of the seven sages. As Links journey begins, he realizes that Zelda has made a mistake , and now he is the only one to fix that problem, against Ganondorf. Depth: 10/10 Now most Legend of Zelda games have great great depth. Now for this game, it was a big jump from all the other ones before. you have all those heart pieces to collect as usual. A new thing was that you have to collect Gold Skulltulas, for those who do not really know why you had to collect them . . . the more Gold Skulltulas you collected, the more you can cash in for the very wealthy cursed family. I forget the specifics of what they gave you, but I know it was bigger wallets and a lot of rupees. There are plenty of items to collect, like, all of the masks. The Mask of Truth is by far the hardest to gain without going on a walk through, if you have collected it without any help . . . you are?a legend in my mind. Now all the types of arrows you have to collect is a pain, also Dins Fire, Farores Wind, and Nayru's Love is such a pain to collect all of them. You have all the bomb bags, arrow bags, deku seeds bag, the wallet sizes, and finally collecting all the empty bottles is just overwhelming to do. So an easy ten out of ten for me in this column. Difficulty: 7/10 Well the difficulty on the bosses is very easy to beat. to defeat Ganondorf and Ganon, it just is not hard at all in my mind. I guess the most difficult part about this game, is that the amount of items to collect is just overwhelming to collect them all. If you are one of those people who like to collect everything in the game . . . well good luck with that without a game guide.? ???That was my review, I hope you like it. ( My first review ) .

The Legend of Zelda OOT (Review)   Vizzed Ghostblo..
This game, is one of my childhood time-played game. To me, this game is way better than 3ds game and I loved this so much. The game is really hard to control on keyboard and most likely to crush by my mom's computer but I love it so much, the music is really good, deep sound of many sounds that cause the player to feel like they are really inside of the game. The story-line is very hard and puzzle but it really good, best than any of story-line that I ever played. Many events going on and it all just happen so quickly. Even as for the addictive, I played this almost every time after I beat it in my N64. The depth of the game is way too deep, so many things you can do by swim, fight, travel, and all things that is just too awesome to do! As for the difficulty, I rated it 7 due to the controls and it need a very deep details of your mind to know where or what to do after one of the event. As for overall, I rate it 10 because this is awesome game ever!

Ocarina of Time, Classic Zelda   datdudesurg19
I remember playing this game many years ago, on my old Nintendo 64. Having lost my old system long ago, I must say it was a privilege to reopen this world, and enjoy all this game has to offer. I certainly felt a sense of nostalgia as the game was loading. I am new to Vizz, and Ocarina of Time was the first game I decided to play, and it certainly was the best choice to start. Being a little older and more mature now, as well as having played a multitude of different games over the years, I can fully appreciate what this game has to offer. However, I would still definitely recommend this to gamers of all ages. When I was a little kid, it was hard to grasp the amazing qualities this game has. It epitomizes the perfect blend that almost every game lacks; a large-free roaming world to immerse yourself in, a variety of characters, enemies, and weapons, a great storyline that keeps the main quest fresh, a vast amount of side quests and unlockables, enjoyable combat mechanics (even though the keyboard can be a bit frustrating at times, as well as the brief delay every time you open up your inventory, which you will be doing A LOT since you can only have three items equipped at a time) and an overall RPG experience that rarely, if ever, will come again.There are a few minor drawbacks in the game's difficulty. Which is why I gave it a 7. I love how the game gets progressively harder and more challenging (as every RPG should) and the fact that the back end of the game requires more thought and usage of almost every item to complete. The first dungeon is relatively easy, as it serves mainly as a tutorial for what is to come. Each new level adds new and awesome weapons and equipment to your inventory, as well as new challenges. However, there are a few instances when the game gets a bit more excessive than it should. The prime example being the Temple of Water. If you are low on patience this place may be the death of you... It's also where the arrow keys will make you want to chuck your keyboard out the window. While attempting to aim at a few of the targets, the keys will force you to aim too high or too low, and you will never hit it... However, after half an hour of head banging, I discovered you can open the button configuration screen (which for some reason doesn't work) and turn on the soft x and y axis. This will move your aim very slowly. But when used at the right time you will have no trouble aiming at pesky targets. Despite the difficulty though, this will actually fill you with a sense of accomplishment by completing the famously infamous Water Temple. You'll actually feel this after every dungeon and quest. Each time you topple the boss of the level, you'll be treated with an entertaining death scene, as well as a full heart upgrade. By the time you achieve many hearts, and all the upgrades and best weapons, you will feel unstoppable. Which is a great way for RPGs to reward you for hours upon hours of hard work. (btw there is no indicator of the time I played, but it was about 8 days, maybe 4-6 hours every day, for an estimated 40 hours total) The ending of the game is not terribly difficult, and the ending cutscenes (though I won't give any spoilers) are more than fitting for the end of a great game.

As an experienced player of the Legend Of Zelda series, I have been playing this game since I was 7,Which is about 8 years.No matter how much I've played this game I feel as though I don't know what will happen next. OoT (Ocarina of Time) is a beautiful game in so many ways, it can make us feel as though we are all still playing it for the first time and it gives us a challenge we all enjoy. This is the best game I have ever played. This is also the most in-depth game on Nintendo 64 I have played.My Overall rating of the game is a Whole Ten,  as I wouldn't rate just any game a whopping 10, this game deserves it's Honor. The game play is consistent and not too overwhelming, it's controls allow anyone who has never played the game before to easily learn them.You can easily adapt the configurations to a PC controller which improves game quality to players not familiarized with PC games.Graphics are what attract gamers at first, which given the game's graphics,deserves a Nine. Yes, the game is Polygonal with pointy outlines, but it's how well that this game is made and how much variety there is in scenery. Almost every character you find is unique and individual to one or two areas (Besides main or important ones).The sound quality of a game is the difference between having a headache for hours on end or a song getting stuck in your head. Just as my rating of Graphics, the Sound quality is unique to each creature. Giving this a ten, I often find myself whistling a Ocarina tune randomly and I enjoy just having fun with the beautiful music.As a musician I can hear  the detail of each song.This game has proven that it is beautiful not only in Sight but in Sound also.I gave the Sound a ten,for great quality and variety.The story of this Legend Of Zelda game is different, you live in a forest of an elven race known as Kokiri, which are secluded to the forest area only.If one of the Kokiri were to leave the forest, the child would die. And as the Kokiri never seem to age, they can live nearly forever.Each of these Kokiri have a Fairy of their own, except one who has never had one until the day he is asked to see the Kokiri's Spirit and Protector, The Great Deku Tree. As you can see, even the start of the game feature story that can leave someone busy for a while. The story never seems to lead astray from the main purpose,instead it features side-stories that benefit you in the Main quest.Giving this also a 10 I have never stopped feeling amazed at how amazing everything about the game is.The Depth of LoZ:OoT may be what makes it shine most. As the game progress you can do more and more,you can Fish at the Lake or collect all the item or even visit all the Great Fairies. It all adds a new part of the Depth and in the end always seems to benefit you in your main quest.The opporttunities of this LoZ are nearly endless. The Depth is another Great 10.The difficulty of Ocarina Of Time is not much of a factor if you think logically and plan your next move carefully. The difficulty is a 7, I'm not sure if this was intentional or not to make it easier for new players, However the difficulty is perfect for anyone really. It offers all the help you need, so you don't ned to go look up cheats or ask for help, you have everything laid out in front of you. And if you really need help on what to do next you always have your Fairy at your hand.That's all for this review, thanks for your time!

Legend of The Great   chris4303
Over All 9.9- What a game I remember playing this game when I was little when the N64 first came out.This game is what made me really get into the Zelda worldGraphics 9.0-Being the first 3D Zelda game, a new engine was used for both this game and eventually Major's Mask.Because this engine is based on polygonal graphics, they would require a significant amount of memory in the cartridge, and generating the graphics with simultaneity and consistency would imply the sacrifice of other aspects, such as music or textures. To solve this difficulty, some techniques were used so that the game wouldn't have any problems in this regard: When Link is facing to the right, the game only loads the memory of what is in that direction, be it enemies, characters or simply the space of the territory placed there. This means that there is literally nothing currently loaded on the sides not being witnessed by the camera angle.Sound 10-Despite being a 3D game, there is almost no voice acting from the characters, with some slight exceptions (Nevi says some words, mostly when she's calling Link); a few characters scream, such as Ganondorf and Sheik, or laugh, such as Sari and Malone.Like most Zelda games, Ocarina of Time has its music composed by Koji Kind.Surprisingly, the main theme of the Zelda series is absent in this game, as the overworld tune for this game is new. The game also uses interactive music: Normally, a background theme correspondent to where Link is can be heard; when an enemy is close to him, however, a particular combat theme can be heard, and won't stop until the enemy is defeated. In a similar way, the aforementioned overworld theme changes (not only in presence of an enemy, but also when Link is standing on a place). Koji Kind composed the Ocarina melodies with only five tones of the first three musical notes.Story 10-Ocarina of Time is the first title in the series to show Hyrule in three dimensions. The sacred land is a vast region that portrays various different ecosystems, which are populated by Hylians and other races. Hyrule Field is the central territory, and is connected to the other areas. It also surrounds Lon Ranch, where milk is produced and numerous animals are raised. Located at east from the field is Kokiri Forest, where Link lives (and where the game begins) along with the Kokiri race (who inhabits the place and, as long as they do so, they won't grow up),and it's governed by the Great Deku Tree until his death. Found north of the field is Hyrule Castle Town, where most of the Hylians live, and where Princess Zelda is raised until her turn comes to lead Hyrule. It's also where the Temple of Time was built to house the legendary Master Sword.East from Hyrule Castle Town is Kakariko Village, a place formerly inhabited by the Sheikah tribe until Impa made it public for people to live in there, and where the Graveyard houses the remains of the deceased Royal Family members. Kakariko Village itself is the starting point to reach Death Mountain, the rocky home for the proud Goron race, as well as the fierce Dodongo population, and where an active volcano can be accessed. Northeast from Hyrule Field is Zora's Domain, a crystaline river and fountain inhabited by the Zoras and governed by the King Zora until Princess Ruto takes the throne to accept her royal duty. Lake Hylia in particular, found south from the field, is not ruled by any race, but the Zoras did build a temple in there. Finally, Gerudo Desert is located west from the field, and consists of a valley, a fortress, a desert, and the surroundings of a temple; it is inhabited by the Gerudo tribe, and is considered to be a ground isolated from the rest of Hyrule.Initially, most of these areas are relatively safe from evil, and the few exceptions (Kokiri Forest, for example) have problems too specific to cause any major impact on its inhabitants, mostly having to do with the search of the Spiritual Stones. Seven years later, however, every single part of Hyrule is affected greatly by Ganondorf's evil influence, so Link must visit the sacred temples so that the sages can be awakened and the curses can be undone, one by one.

To Hyrule and Beyond!   siksiksikki
   The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Still to this day, no other game has been talked about as if it were, in fact, a real legend nearly as much as this Nintendo 64 classic. Marking the series' first foray into the realm of the third dimension, Ocarina of Time will take you on a journey just as it's predecessors have that will leave you breathless- Whether breathless means awe-inspired, or simply frustrated at a specific task is entirely up to you to decide.   The game which released in 1998 features more updates than it's sleek new polygonal upgrade; From a newly implemented z-targeting system to mounted horse combat, OoT made for a gaming experience that felt wholesome and ground breaking even in an era in which the ground was constantly being broken by new technology already.GRAPHICS

   As previously mentioned, Ocarina marks Legend of Zelda's first adventure in the three dimensional space, and as such the graphic quality was of course far superior to any previous entry in the franchise. For the first time, everyone was able to experience the green-clad Champion of Hyrule in a way that would make many almost uncomfortable in how real it seemed. However, when you take a step back and look at many of the games that came out around the time- well, nothing changes. The game was still beautiful and was surprisingly not held back in visual quality despite it's immense size.   The art assets used combined with the level design implemented mixed together perfectly well and made for a great adventure for pro gamers of the time as well as new blood to the scene. No hand holding was entirely necessary, as long as you looked for obvious visual queues in the environment such as a wall with vines that just FEELS like you were able to climb it like a ladder to get to that ledge that holds the door to the next room or that chest with a shiny new item.   The only real nitpick one might have for the graphics in the game is that in certain areas (Castle Town and almost every small Interior) the game switches to use pre-rendered backdrops, which can be jarring when you switch from the depth that the world models and terrain offer. However, this is very easy to overlook since it was somewhat of a trend around the time the game came out, and made room for more art assets that make the game even more beautiful.ADDICTIVENESS

   The addictiveness in the game can be disputed. It all really depends on what kind of gamer you are at heart. A player who likes to have a reason to explore the world for more than just the exploration itself will find themselves pleased with the many collectible items scattered throughout the game in the form of Gold Skulltulas, heart containers, bottles, and a few other things.   Some players, especially newer ones, might find themselves the trek from the Kokiri Woods to the final showdown at Ganon's castle quite daunting, especially with the difficulty present randomly in certain areas of the game. But, if you're here for story, lore, and adventure then you're in luck as this game will definitely eat up hours of your time as trek through the game's many dungeons and locales. STORY

   The story, as one might expect in a Zelda title, is where this game truly shines. It starts out nice and cozy, and somewhat familiar to some younger gamers, as link is awoken by a fairy sent by the Kokiri's gaurdian- the Great Deku Tree- to summon him to a meeting. As the player makes his way to the ancient pillar of the world they find themselves talking to their best friend and coming face to face with the local bully. Soon, things take a dark turn as you're forced to save the life of the very entity which was supposed to have been protecting you and every other child of the forest which would understandably be a very hard pill for someone of such a young age to swallow.   And just like that you're out in the world and on your own, young and vulnerable. You have to make decisions for yourself on where to go, though you've been given good directions on where to start at least. Soon enough, you're thrust into a rich story familiar to many as you are tasked in saving the damsel who holds a key that a great evil requires in order to fulfill his wish of ruling over not just Hyrule but the rest of the world as well.DEPTH

   This game is long. There really is no other way to go about it- It's going to eat up your free time like it was dots in front of Pac-man. Whether or not that is a good thing... Well, that's up to you. There are multiple ways to go about beating this game, and it supports a multitude of play-styles and warrants multiple play-through's to really get every little juicy detail out of the way. Simply going through the game is one adventure, but trying to find all the game's secrets is almost an entire game in it's own.DIFFICULTY

   Just like the addictiveness, the difficulty of this game can be debated. While the game does throw a lot of curve-balls at you, the main point of frustration tends to lie on the game's highly advertised Z-targeting system and camera controls. It's a nice change of pace to be able to lock on to enemies, especially those that fly around like Keese, but when an enemy moves around sporadically it has the tendency to jolt the camera around making it likewise hard for the player themselves to move around and avoid any would-be environmental hazards such as a small pit of lava during Volvagia's boss-fight, or an edge leading to a pit during a fight with a Stalfos.

Legend of zelda: ocarina of time review   setrophth
ocarina of time could be named with many titles, nintendo's little gem, the greatest game ever made, one huge flipping game and many more but as far as I care it has only one title, My favorite game of all time, after i downloaded this game on the wii shop channel i was reliving one huge memory and when i finished i almost cried not because its a sad story but because i know there will never be a game like this again its completely devastating to think that this will most likely not be emulated due to the current gaming climate where fps's are king, this saddens me deeply inside just to know that future generations may not have a chance to experience this kind of godly material ever. But I'm getting off track this is a review of the game so basically the main story line is that you are a young boy raised by a group of forest dwelling children who never age. you are called up by the mythical Deku Tree an overseer of the kokiri he tells you the story of how the land was made by the three goddesses of wisdom, power and courage after this he tells you about a 'man from the desert' who has come and cursed the tree. after going through the first dungeon you then receive a green jewel this is the first of three. once you have got the first three you then go through a long sequence in which you have to play the song of time and then you take the master sword and a whole load of story is dumped upon you...but its awesome. the music in the Legend of zelda: Ocarina of time is composed by koji kondo ,the original composer right from the start of the franchise and the songs are catchy as hell thats why I gave it 10/10 just listen to some of these tunes yourself i could go so much more in depth but i'm running out of time so i have to say check this game out and i hope you had as much fun as i did and take alot from the experience -setrophth

Ocarina of Time ROCKS!!   jaws123
This is my first review so ya... First review... GRAPHICS: 10The graphics for this game are really good for a Nintendo 64. The animations are all quite easy to see and identify. The designers really did a good job overall making the structures and figures. This games graphics are a lot better then say mario kart 64. Where the its all blurry and hard to make out. The monsters are all clear and easy to see. SOUND: 10Oh my goodness! The sound and music for this game is amazing! I remember at times i would just park link in the Gerudo Valley and listen to the amazing music there. There are so many catchy tunes. The sounds are really good too. When link jumps he makes a little yell and so on for all his movements. When you fight a boss the music really sucks you into the moment. When you here the boss music you know this is a fight for your life! ADDICTIVENESS: 10I give addictiveness a 10 because I had to be dragged away from the TV at bed time before i could stop playing. Once you get a new weapon you just can't help but try it out. The game sucked me in and captured me until i had beaten the game finally. STORY: 9The story is pretty simple but sweet. Your a kid chosen by fate to be the hero of time and save Hyrule by saving the sages and defeating Ganondorf, the evil king, and save Princess Zelda. DEPTH: 10This game really has a lot to offer. It offers an exiting adventure. Side quest to get cool weapons or powers. And the game is pretty long for a Nintendo 64 game. This game offers plenty of story but at the same time when you finally finish you still want more.DIFFICULTY: 8As long as you have an open mind and can think outside the box you should be able to make it through most of the hard parts. However you most also be able to think quick in intense battles with monsters. The temples can be very confusing and frustrating. you must be able to over come your frustration to move onward. I rated the difficulty 8 for those reasons. OVERALL: 10!This game is awesome! The story sucks you in and the rest traps you. You cannot stop until you get really stuck and need help or of course you beat the game. I HIGHLY recommend this game to everyone as long as they have a mind that can handle a good balance between hard puzzles and intense battle.

The Legend that made Zelda so Legendary   Steve The Mew H..
Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest games for the 64. It is arguably the game that made the series. When it comes to the games graphics, it was one of the best games for N64. In its day, it was amazing how life like Link's actions were. Even today it's impressive, even though you can see the polygons. What can you expect for a game of it's age? The answer, less than this game provides. Easily a 10 in this category. Sound wise it was rather good. Every piece of music in it was great. I was rather dissapointed that it didn't have the Legend of Zelda overworld theme, but with everything else it had, it made up for it. I vote 10. This game is definitly one to play again. There are just so many things that you can't just do once. No matter how many times you play it though, it never get's old. Easily a 10. The story of any Legend of Zelda game is good. And not only is the story for this game good, it leaves you wondering. What will Link do now? What will Ganon do now? So, I give it a 10. The game's controls were rather easy. 4 short and simple. A great game, and a must play if you consider yourself a Legend of Zelda fan. Of the games i know of for the N64, very few can compare. Infact, the first game that comes to mind when trying to find a better N64 game, is Super Mario 64, and I myself prefer Ocarina of Time. Over all rating, easily a 10.

A Classic   incubusfan86
Wow...just wow. This game is still my favorite game of all time. I remember back in the day being so excited to wake up and start the N64 and hear Epona galloping as the title appeared on my tv. I haven't touched an N64 in years and to actually be able to play my favorite video game again is amazing. Getting used to using the keyboard for controls takes a little time so don't get too frustrated if it is not working out for you right off the bat. Just take some time to explore and get used to the feel of the keyboard and position the controls the way you want. By double-clicking the screen and customizing the controls to what you are most comfortable with will make a huge difference. Once you are comfortable with what you have chosen the controls become much smoother. The graphics are still amazing for what the N64 could put out. I remember being pretty astonished when I first saw a 3-D link. The background music is still very calming in the beauty of viewing the lake and exciting when in heated battle. Although....that music in the town during the day as young link is the reason I give sound a 9, I honestly can't stand it :p   The story is still as captivating and emotion inspiring as ever. It was kind of embarrassing when I yelled NO! in the middle of my computer programming class because Ganondorf took Zelda away but hey, it's just that good of a game. For an N64 game this title is very in depth as well. There are so many things to do and retrieve that it not only adds to the replay value and easy addiction but everything you gain adds some kind of benefit to the rest of your play-through. It is well worth the time to go searching for heart containers and gold skultulas not just to collect them but because you are essentially guaranteed to stumble on some kind of secret place or get a new item or at the very least a decent amount of rupees. The game is not extremely difficult by any means but it does make you think at times. Many of the puzzles will have something that stands out or is given away so that the solution does not take hours to figure out. But if the subtle hints that are given are overlooked then you might very well be in a position where you feel stuck. Do not give up though as there is always a solution. Overall this game is a 10 for me. Everything about it (except that town music...grr) is absolutely amazing to me. Even after almost a decade of not touching this game I felt the same inspiration and emotion this game sparked in me as a child when I began to play it here. There is no reason to not give this game a chance just once. There's no doubt you will like it :)

Great Game   jayron122
I love this game. It's amazing even if this game is old it is awesome I love it even though I only made it to the 2nd dungeon it still was super fun.  I wish I played this game when I was a kid it looks awesome my childhood would have been a lot better.  Also to make this game even better its not an easy game to play like a easy beat in one day game it actually takes time, well unless you cheat and look up how to do it on the internet... but anyway it's still fun I would play it a lot more to beat it but I do not have the time sadly.  So what I'm really saying is I really recommend this game I bet anyone would love this game unless they don't like bad graphics.

Zelda oot!   crazycatpup
Zelda Oot, best game ever! and a must play for anyone who likes adventure games. Graphics: 8 The graphics are good I loved the quality of the game. the creators really did an amazing job especially with the characters. they could have been a bit better tho. Sound: 7 The sound was great, I loved the songs for all the different areas. I really don't have anything else to say about it other than that. Addictiveness: 10 I played this game first when I was 5 I fell in love with it I am now 16 and still playing it, that's gotta say something. this is one of those games you beat and want to go back to over and over. It's great but maybe a little to addictive..heh Story: 8 The story is great, Meeting all sorts of people like the Goron and Zora race, doing little quests to help them out. racing a horse to keep as your own, beating all sorts of monsters to save hyrule from the evil gandorf. there could be more but it still had great points in it Depth: 9 Oot had great depth, lots of stuff to do. quests and lots of dungeons to beat. even when you get to gandorf's castle there is still lots to do in there. Difficulty: 6 this game is not to difficult at all I mean..I beat it when I was 5 years old. all tho it still does have a fair amount of difficulty to it. enough to keep you busy for a awhile especially if you get lost in the water temple like I did.. Overall: 8 this game is such a great game, It is a personal favorite and I recommend if you haven't played it yet to give it a try even if you don't like it it's still something to give a go.

THE BEST GAME ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH   mastersword321
OK. So, I think this is the best game ever. I have played it since I was 5 and now, I am a master at it. It has such a great story line, great game play, and great cut scenes and twists. And after you have beat the game, your STILL not done yet. You still have to get all the bottles, find all the heart pieces,  all the skullatulas,  capture all the big poes, and find all the Easter eggs. There are so many epic moments, I could name some, but that would spoil it for first time players.  there are so many elements to the game, its not even funny. The game is so vast that it made games what they are today. If you are a Zelda fan, this is a must play. Do not hesitate, jump into the legend of zelda ocarina of time. you wont regret it!

One of the greatest games in History   Coolninjamario
The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time has to be without of doubt one of the best games on the Nintendo 64 and one of the best games ever made.The graphics were amazing for N64 standards the soundtrack was amazing and added a feeling of livelyhood even in Hyrules darkest hours no matter if the song was happy and upbeat or even a bit creepy it was always a good aspect since it added more to the tone of the game. The game could be a bit challenging even if you werent aiming for 100%. I really don't want to be nit picky about the games above average difficulty especially since Nintendo took the liberty of making a remake of this amazing game by incresing the difficulty of the game in Master Quest for players who thought the original Ocarina of time was to easy. This game was very in depth from the sidequests to the main plot of the game it seems the only thing this game lacked was a post game which I know most Legend Of Zelda games don't have all I'm saying is there could be an extra game to reward the player for His/Her hard work for completeing this amazing game especially if thet took the time and liberty to 100% the game.Overall this game is a piece of art but their is one warning and that is that this game is addictive as heck and you will always be expecting what will happen to our green little Hero Of Time.

Great Game   rb1295
I first played Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time, on the Nintendo 64. The story of the game is very original, and has many different concepts that can easily be found to be entertaining. 

The graphics of the game may not quite be up to toady's standards, but for when it was originally released it has good graphics. The graphics for the characters are all unique, and help bring you into the game and better find a relationship from this game to the others of a similar name.

Throughout the game, there are various different types of music that can be heard in the background. These all seen to fit the areas perfectly and help bring the player into the game. Most of the sound effect are very fitting for what they are suppose to be, but a few of them don't seem to fit quite as well as they could have. This is understandable, when you consider all of the other sound effects that were put into the game.

When playing this game, it is quite easy to get lost in it, and lose track of time. This is even true for those who have played the game multiple time. With all the different possible things to do in the game, it become difficult to become bored with playing it.

This game as quite a large story, that can be found to be very exciting, and makes you almost become attached to the characters. With all the various events that take place throughout the game, there is never a moment when it gets boring. As the story progresses, the player is granted more and more options as to what they can do. This allows them to enjoy the game even more. What is lacked in the development of the characters, becomes easily made up for in the depth of the story itself, and allows the players to make up their own ideas as to what the characters are truly like.

When playing this game, there are many chances to play different "mini games." These mini games allow the player to take a break from the story and relax a bit while enjoying a more casual side of the game. Along with these mini games, there is always a chance for the player to just go out and explore the game's world and find new things, or things they might have previously missed. By doing this, the play can feel more enjoyment from playing the game and find themselves having many ways to take a break while having problems.

When first playing this game, the controls seem to be confusing, but while playing they end up to be rather easy to deal with and useful they way they are. Some of the controls later in the game can be considered to be difficult, but after giving it a bit of time, they become just as easy as the basics.

This game overall is a great game, which offers a lot to its players. By giving the players a variety of sounds, which match the graphics, and the unique story the allows for a lot of freedom for what there is to do, the players can seem more comfortable playing and enjoy the experience more.

This game is one that I would, and have recommended to people.

You got the OOT Review!   MoblinGardens
Possibly one of the best Zelda games every released, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was developed in 1998 for the Nintendo 64.  It had sold 8.20 million copies world wide over it's lifetime.  As well as being the first Legend of Zelda game for the Nintendo 64, it was also the very first 3D Legend of Zelda game.  Let's first talk about the graphics.  Think back in 1998 when we all still had the Nintendo 64.  These graphics were almost mind blowing.  It was the perfect art style for this game.  Apart from the graphics being very good, it was also our very first Legend of Zelda game that was in full 3D.  It was revolutionary for more Zelda games to come.

The sound is next to talk about.  I personally loved this sound track for that game.  It's not my favourite out of all the games, but it is close to it.  I always loved hearing Zelda's Lullaby and The Song of Storms.  I even bought an Ocarina of my own just to play these short pieces of music that really caught my attention.  To mention as well, the sound is also crystal clear.

Next to talk about is the addictiveness.  You are very likely to play this game again.  I have played this game about two or three times.  The story and the game play really drags you into wanting to play the game more.  There is not much to say about the addictiveness because all there really is to say, is that you will probably feel like wanting to play the game a second or third time.

Now we will talk about the story.  The story of the game basically goes that Ganandorf, the main antagonist, is seeking part of the Triforce so he can gain a lot of power and take over Hyrule.  The Great Duku Tree tells Navi about his evil plot and gets her to warn the legendary hero, Link.  Link then meets the Deku Tree and he explains everything.  Link then sets off on a long adventure to stop Ganondorf.  I personally thought that this was a very cliche storyline, but the various plot twists start to turn the story line off of being cliche and onto it's very own original plot.

Now we will discus the depth of the game.  Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time takes a while to beat.  The first time I played it, it took me a couple weeks to beat.  That is because the main game has four dungeons when you are a child.  They are:  Inside the Great Deku Tree, Dodongo's Cavern, Spirit Temple, and Inside Lord Jabu Jabu's Belly.  There are also six adult temples as well.  They are: Forest temple, Fire Temple, Water Temple, Shadow Temple, Spirit Temple, and Ganon's Castle.  You also can't forget about the journey it takes to get from one temple to another.  You need to do things such as find items, do side quests, and go through mini dungeons such as the Ice Cavern.

The last thing we have to talk about is the difficulty of the game.  It is generally not a difficult game in the beginning but then it gets gradually harder like any good game does.  There are a couple of "out of place" hard parts such as the mid-boss in the third temple, but those are easy to see past and it makes good training for becoming the Legendary Hero of Hyrule. 

Overall, this is an amazing game.  I am more than happy to give this game a 9.7.  No wonder no Zelda game came close to even being able to be compared to this game until Skyward Sword was released.  If you have not yet checked this game out, you should do so now.

Ocarina of time IGN Style Review   dazzsheil
Where to start....The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released on the Nintendo 64 in November/December 1998.It has the Guinness world record for most critically acclaimed game of all time and for good reason.This game kicks ass. GRAPHICS: One of the best looking N64 Games along with its 2000 sequel.Ocarina is soooooo detailed and full of immersing landscapes and makes you fell that you are the character. SOUND: This game has one of the best scores ever. Its breathtaking and its also interactive as-well,sort of like Super Mario Galaxy(2007,Wii) ADDICTIVENESS: I've beaten this game 37 times since I was 6(I'm 13 now BTW) and still pop it in my Wii every day.The gameplay is FANTASTIC.It's unbelievably addictive.   STORY: Having a Metal Gear amount of twists this game makes you wonder are you watching a movie sometimes. Story is a bit cliché though at the end. DEPTH: 100 Gold skulltulla's 36 Pieces of heart. A Large trading sequence and Fishing make this a game that will take you ages to beat 100%(took me 4 years....:(  ) DIFFICULTY: Don't make me tell you that this game is easy. Its quite a challenge during it's later stages(WATER TEMPLE!!!) Bosses are very tricky sometimes. OVERALL: Well what can be said. This game is a masterpiece. I Give the Legend of Zelda(5) Ocarina of Time a Near Perfect 10/10

game review NOW, What are you thoughts on this game?   naruto uzimaki
So you might be thinking right now why is all the rating 9's and 10's will it will all be understood when I tell you.So with the graphics the thing was when you play any other N-64 game you would play you would see now on how poop the graphics would be but with the legend of Zelda ocarina of time and Major's Mask you get 3D graphics that you did usually see in other games so there that and on how you got to walk him around properly and it was more advanced for its time it could have very well been made in this time and it would look just as good if not a bit better graphics wise.Sound now I don't about you guys but when I played that game I thought most of the song were pretty good then there were ones that weren't but most of them were pretty catchy and it would get stick in your head and if a game can do that to you they did a good job.Addictiveness now I would have to say that if I said that I wasn't addicted to it I would be lying because I was so addicted to it that sometimes it would take me awhile just to get off the games I would sometimes play it so long I would lose track of time and I would look at the clock and relies that it like 5 AM and that I guess I would be play for almost 8 hours loll.The story was outstanding the story was will written it was nice and lengthy and the thing you got made it and epic adventure I especially love when you get the golden gantlets they are the best equipment you get in game that and the mirror shield.The depth was very well it must of offered the most in any game you had the golden skulltula's you had heart pieces you got three different tunics you got a rumble pack with id badge to get into the thieves hideout freely you also had a wallet that could help you carry 999 rupees there were ghost, Monsters, there were liars and temples you had a map a bow ,slingshot,hookshot/longshot, lens of truth, bottles,three shields three different boots, you could fish, get lures,and scales,bombs, sticks,nuts,boomer-rang, sages, magic arrows spells,faries, and other items you can get for sidequests.And last but not least the difficulty was an 8 because it was fairly hard game at least the boss and some of the puzzles were confusing but if i were to say what was the hardest part was facing off with Ganondarf  he was the most difficult boss even harder the dark link which i would have to say he is the most annoying bosses to have to ever fight to this day because all he ever does is dodge you and then strikes back

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina Of Time   CC23
hi vizzed, I love the Zelda series and the legend of Zelda ocarina of time is the best in it. Its a crazy adventurous game. That you'll find very fun and addictive.  

Graphics:10

               the graphics on this game where outstanding. It was one of the first 3d worlds ever made. And they done a fantastic job on the nice and scenic world of Hyrule. This game has the best classic graphics ever.and the objects and the ground, mountains, water, characters and the sky where very detailed . They did such a find job on this game and the graphics definitely deserve a 10.   

sound:10 

            the sound was so soothing in my ears. And I remember walking close up to a stream and hearing it moving from inch to inch. Its the most soothing calm sound ever. And hearing the exiting boss battle themes. And hearing the hyrule theme song is just so nice to hear when it drains into your ears. thing about the sound is nice and very, hear full. And every time link slashes his sword its like as if he where right next to you practicing his sword fighting. The songs are ear-candy and that why sound is voted 10. 

addictiveness:10

                       this game is so addictive you well play it 80 years straight just wondering what happens next on every puzzle you solve. I beat it about 8 times and I still play it. And I hope I don't sound like a Zelda nerd for saying that but its so addictive. Its so addictive its has if you where glued ton your TV or computer screen just waiting to for the next monster for you to vanquish.and every boss you defeat you wonder where to go next and your head fills up with curiousness and you must play it some more. So yeah this game is highly addictive and it deserves a 10 for sure.

story: 10

          OMG this game has the best story ever. My favorite Zelda story ever. Just watch this is going to spoil a lots of parts, so if you don't want anything to be spoiled skip the story paragraph. OK the land of hyrule is falling over a dark man named Gannondorf. There is this one hero hyrules last hope a boy named link must awaken as the hero of time and he must wield the blade the Master Sword. And link must save all 5 sages to defeat Gannondorf and hold him in a seal forever. so the story was great and it is rated 10  

depth: 10

         this game has so much to offer. There is 3 temples has little link followed by 5 temples has a adult. And there is Gannon's tower and all those side quest you must beat. So depth is 10. 

difficulty:5

           this game has an average difficulty. Its easy if you know what your doing and if you pay attention so yeah it can be easy. Other than the water temple. Its so freaking hard. I beat the game 8 times and it is still hard. But difficulty is 5 and that's that.

overall:10

         this game is amazing best game ever. This game has so many pros and perks to it and it has no cons once so ever. I loved this game over all is 10 and That's what it is.  

thanks for reading hope you play this game and I hope you like this review just post what you think about the game and about my review.

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - A Review   QKninja
   One of the most iconic, legendary and memorable video games of our time; and certainly one of my favourites. My very first playthrough was actually three or four years ago, and even though it is quite old in age, it was fresh to me and it was able to blow my mind. The music is astounding, full of ambience, memorable, catchy but never annoying, and it fits perfectly to every moment in the game. The characters bring a lot of personality, charisma, humor, and even comfort throughout the game. The puzzles were fun, challenging and almost never frustrating. All of the boss fights were awesome, they each had a different way to beat them that fit perfectly to the theme of the dungeon (and some even their character!). Even though there weren't many side quests, they were fun to play and added more personality and memorable moments to the game. And the story and lore is very interesting and so incredibly engaging and detailed that it cannot be contained into one single game.   A must play for everyone that loves to immerse themselves into another universe entirely.

my child hood   RMJEtheReploid
The legend of Zelda occreana of time was oneof my First Nintendo 64 and my first Zelda Games! Lets review this Dark andSpooky gameGraphics: 6. When i got The legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, i thought"WOW! HOW COULD A GAME GET THIS GOOD?" but when i got Occreana oftime 3D I thought "ok the graphics are kinda crappy." so the Graphicsare a 6. Also when i saw the Tranchula guys i thought: "OH NO! ITSSPIDERS!" (I have Arachnid phobia)Sound: 100(10x10). Since i like Music, i thought that the Music on here waslike "OH MY LANS" Since i fell in love with Song of storms. The Zeldamusic have different feelings for different moments. Like song of storms has aRage-like tune then a stormy tune. Or Song of healing, it has a sad tune. Icould go on and on and ON With Music, i also like how the noises get louderwhen your near them. And plus i hate navi's: "HEY LOOK LISTEN!" witchi can sound like her.Addictiveness: 1. Ever since my game data was erased, i have never toughed myN64 Zelda game again. I wont tell you why. MOVING ON!Story: 8. This is how the story goes (Credit to Wikipidea) The game opens asthe fairy Navi awakens Link from a nightmare, in which Link witnesses a stormynight where a man in black armor on horseback chases after a girl on a whitehorse. Navi brings Link to the guardian of Link's village, the Great Deku Tree,who is cursed and near death. Link breaks the curse, but cannot stop the treefrom withering. The Deku Tree tells Link a "wicked man of the desert"has cursed him and seeks to conquer the land of Hyrule and that Link must stophim. Before dying, the Great Deku Tree gives Link the Spiritual Stone of theForest, the Kokiri's Emerald, and sends him to Hyrule Castle to speak with the"princess of destiny." As Link is leaving, his close friend Sariabids him good luck and gives him the Fairy Ocarina, a precursor to the Ocarinaof Time.Depth: 10. THIS GAME IS HARD AS MEGA MAN X5! But still I'm not done withOcarina of time (3D of core's) but still the game is very fun,Difficulty: 7. If your used to 3D plaformers, This game will be as easy as piefor you but this game is no harder then uncooked Ramen Noodles. Still this gameis fun. But since I've played on my ps2 the controls will be hard as heckler.Overall: 10000(100x10) This game is my childhood and my first Zelda Game. Wellthis is it for RMJEtheReploid. I'll see you soon!(Note: it took me a day to get this to work, If you complain about this review, this will be my last review!)

The legend of zelda ocarina of time redo review   ender44
This is another case of where I didn't go into much detail in the original review, so I will be editing this ENTIRE review, to get you the facts you need about this game. The legend of Zelda ocarina of time has a lot of controversy about it, although there is some good controversy and some bad controversy. The bad controversy comes from things like the dead hand and the dying soldier. Since I already have an article abou the dead hand and other disturbing things in Zelda games (feel free to check that out) I will talk about the dying soldier. After obtaining the instrument from the title, and before you pull the master sword, if you wander through the back alleys of castle town, you will see a solder slumped on the wall, if you talk to him he will talk about ganondorfs uprising and then yeah...he dies. Right in front of you, in 3D. I don't know about you guys, but that's not something I would want my children to see. Next the good controversy, to be honest, I think this game gets a little too much credit, yes it brought the series into 3D, yes it was a really fun game. But it was not as perfect as everyone says. Lets start the review.Graphics-Again, this game brought the series into that wonderful third dimension. And by the standards of the N64, this game is beautiful. This game was an N64 game though, and it had some limitations. This brings us to castle town, in the original ocarina of time, quite a but of castle town was cardboard. Maybe you didn't notice it as a kid, but it really annoyed me the second I saw it. The rest of the game looks really good though. It has great looking bosses, enemies, and environments.

Sound- Oh, the music. For this category I will be splitting into 2 parts.

Overhead music- This is the music you hear while in places like kakariko village, hyrule field, or lake hylia. This music is... okay. I think it set the mood pretty well, and it was certainly good to listen too. But I'm not as crazy as everyone else is. Although, I did very much like the opening theme, which you guys should really check out. 

Dungeon music- This was music I was more crazy about. I liked the dungeon music very much. And it set the mood very well for each dungeon.

Ocarina music- This is music I loved to no end. Even though the were just a series of short notes. These songs were just fantastic. Songs like the song of time, Zelda's lullaby, and the bolero of fire would probably be my favorites and you should definitely check those out.

Addictiveness- If I still had an N64, I would play this game again and again. It is an insanely fun game with intuitive game play, fun dungeons, and great side quests.  This game really never gets old (that was literal although it could also be a pun about the fact that this game gets a remake about every 10 seconds)

Story- oh boy, I couldn't wait to talk about this part. This game has one of the best stories of all the Zelda games. This story has so many twists and action and surprises that you literally wont be able to put it down. This game also contains no "Triforce shard times" as I like to call them. These Triforce shard moments are times when you are given something extremely hard to do that isn't really important to the story, and the name comes from collecting the triforce shards in wind waker. This game follows link, a boy who sets out on a quest to stop the evil ganondorf, the gerudo king of thieves. Though after  link unwittingly opens the sacred realm, ganondorf seizes power, and then link must stop him.

Depth- There is so much to do in this game. There are plenty of heart pieces. Tons of dungeons. Plenty of side quests to do and much, much more.

Difficulty- This game was really hard. The dungeons were very complicated. The heart pieces hard to collect, and the side quests very difficult.  Next we have the water  temple, this temple drove me crazy as a kid, it has over 80 rooms of incredibly complicated puzzles.

Game play- This game brought the series into 3D, and as such uses a targeting system which allows you to keep track of your enemy and feel like a ninja as you jump around and fight.

Okay guys, that's all for this redo review and I will see you next time.

Ocarina of time   King Sull
I love this game amazing for the Nintendo 64 just awesome.Graphics-10

Ok it's a 10 for it's time nothing was better barley having to use sprites but only when it was in the right place link was awesome looking everything was (I'm a sucker for the Nintendo 64 game cartridges) 

Sound-8

The song for the ocarina where awesome played non stop like Saria song (awesome rap voice) up, down, right, up, down, right link's voice acting was (bad Russian voice) Japanese acting and Navi: "Hey listen" "watch out" made me love pressing I on the keyboard ... (Yeah I Loved Navi Deal With it)

Addictiveness-7

  Trying to do any quest makes you want to do more things like get every collectibles like I did I have made 3 heart runs 100% runs and so on. 

Story-10

With link becoming a hero helping others through battle and battle helping those in need (for heart containers) and for some (jerks) trying to kill navi. Helping link on his quest.

Depth-10

This game takes quite a long time depending on what you do like side questing there's a lot of things to do 

Difficulty-6

Most of this game is not really hard just annoying its hard with THE DREADED HATED WATER TEMPLE and the megaton hammer but after mastering the controls it's just like normal difficulty on easy games.

Overall-10

This game is just epic awesome music and sound, epic story a lot of depth I didn't grow up with this unlike star fox 64 but it's a very awesome game so stop reading and start playing

Linkshade's Opinion 5   linkshade 121
   Once again, here is another review from me, Linkshade 121. I will be reviewing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game was the first 3-dimensional game in the Zelda Series, setting a reputation for it in the years to come. This was the best Zelda game I ever played from the N64 era so I might as well review it. Okay, Let's get started.Graphics-10   What can I say, this game is really good quality. Actually seeing Link make a real sword slash, I am saying I might never go back to 2D games. If you knew me, I am a medieval maniac who is a big nerd when it comes to this stuff and with good graphics like these, I am able to perform new sword techniques. It's not just Link's attacks, but also Ganondorf's. Now I know what your thinking, why would Like his attacks even though he is an evil tyrant who nothing to do but kidnap maidens? I just like the animation, I never said I liked his style of doing things. Okay, I think I spent to much time, let's move on.Sound-10   Really good quality music I hear from this. It sounds like Wii quality music and I am not just saying this to trick you into playing the game, why would I do that? It sounds just like it could have been done for a present day system (hint. First glasses free 3d game system). Like I said in the last review, you may have a different opinion when it comes to this stuff. So really, I would just give it a ten.Addictiveness-10   Your soul desire to save the sages, solve puzzles, and face lots of monsters make this game really addicting. Whenever I finish the game, I started all over again. I think this may be the 5th time I restarted my game. I don't know what it is, but maybe it is the living super gamer inside of me that wants to be the best of all time. That's why I would say this is a game I will never stop playing, and that's saying a lot.Story-10   There are two story arcs in this game. One arc is when to collect the spiritual stones to stop Ganondorf's plot to take over Hyrule and when you fail, you go to the temple of light to bring up the master sword. That's when the second arc comes, you are too young to be the hero of time so you are sealed inside the sacred realm for seven years. After awaking, you have to go through another set of dungeons to save the sages of grass, fire, water, shadow, and spirit. Probably one of the best stories a Zelda game can possibly hope to have.Depth-10   There is lots of things to do in this game. Many of them I already mentioned but you can fish, dive for rupees, go on a grave digging tour, do time trials with Epona, bombchu bowling, horseback archery, and the target range game in kakariko village. Many things in this game I loved. I wonder if I will ever to everything there has to do, I don't know. One thing's for certain, this game is really big.Difficulty-5   This game features a variety of dungeons to go through. You solve the puzzles, defeat enemies, and try to find the weakness of the boss. What I thought was the most challenging boss in the game was barinade which took me an entire month to defeat. After that the game just got easier from there. Then again, that's just my opinion but may have second thoughts. Now let's get to the overall rating, drum roll please?Overall-9.2   Overall, I give this game a 9.2. Don't ask me why their are decimals involved, it is just a 9.2 for the reasons above. What is your opinion? Leave a reply in this thread and rate it. Also ask me what game I should review next. This is Linkshade, being sucked back into the game.

Legend Of Zelda Orcania Of Time   hackerman
I'm not as big of a fan as other legend of Zelda fans but i prefers this and majoras mask out the other games in the series. The game features a boy named link(well you can name your characters in the journey)who gains a fairy and is chosen by the Deku tree to go on a journey to save the kingdom of Hyrule who link sometimes has dreams about. The overall story was good now for the game play. Legend Of Zelda Orcania Of Time has great game play where you can buy weapons or find them to upgrade you character throughout the game you face many enemies like killer plants but even stronger enemies than that. I thought the graphics could have used some more work though but considering the other games on the n64 console i decided to give it an 8. you can do many things in this game like completing tasks and making your character stronger. along the game i found it getting harder and harder especially since i had trouble finding more weapons to make me stronger. So the overall rating of this game is 9.5 many minor flaws but Legend Of Zelda Orcania Of Time is a great game!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the most best game ever created on the planet Earth! The Nintendo 64 had a great library of games, but Ocarina of Time made a strawberry icing on the 64 cake. A young boy link is a normal kokiri and the kokiri's guardian, the Great Deku Tree is knowing of this boys future. The graphics are one of the BEST the 64 had ever seen, with stunning detail and design. To the Hyrule over world to the water in the river. Animation is spectacular. Link just WALKING is fluid and well animated! The music is one of the key points in a Zelda game. And Ocarina Of time does not fail at all in this category. Every single theme is so well made that a remake of this game and a soundtrack of it was needed. I am a Ocarina addict. I play this game at least once every year. It is so fun to play and it will leave you in shock with all the twists and turns this game has to offer. The story is so well put together and so thought out. Nintendo did a SUPER EXCELLENT job on the story to say the least! There is so much to do in Ocarina of Time, the side quests and heart piece collecting are just one of the things you can do in this game. I have to say, this game is hard for me. It's not to hard, but sometimes it really is hard. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time is the best game ever to be shipped to shelves. MW64, signing out!

A Very Overrated Game, I'd Say (Over 3,000 words)   PixelBrick
Welcome to my review for Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. This is a game I've wanted to review since I started posting game reviews which is around the time I joined Vizzed. I am finally reviewing this game, and the reason I haven't reviewed Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System is because whenever I'm half way there, I accidentally hit a certain key that sends me back to the previous page. This has happened three times, and I'm not about to take any chances. Anyways, Ocarina of Time is one of the most overrated video games of all time. To this day, Ocarina of Time is still considered an amazement in technology. They even enhanced this game for the Nintendo 3DS, and Robin Williams appeared in one of its commercials. In the late 90's people weren't talking about Final Fantasy VII, they were mostly talking about Ocarina of Time. It was the Nintendo 64 era, and a lot of franchises got their turn into the 3D shift. Even Paper Boy got his share. In 1998, it was Zelda's turn. I mean, this game was HUGE! There was NOTHING like it. So basically, Nintendo took the formula of A Link To The Past and Zelda 1 and shifts the land into 3D. There was a Nintendo Power issue that was all about the game, countless commercials, but the most memorable, this one: "Wilst thou get the girl, or play like one?" Ouch! Taunting in a NINTENDO commercial. Guessing that one didn't last on the air that long. Then I was curious. I was dying to play the game nobody seemed to shut up about. I thought, eh. It's a cool game, but not as good as people claim it to be. Multiple ports have been released of this game because of its popularity. The Wii Virtual Console, the 3DS, the GameCube, and the Zelda anniversary ports for the GameCube. Though, I actually recommend playing this game on an actual Nintendo 64. More on that later. Back in the 90's, this game was the big thing, and every kid and a lot of adults had their hands on a copy, before you could even know it. Well, let's see how this game filled up since Zelda 1? Does it fill the shoes of A Link To The Past and Link's Awakening? Well, in this review, let's find out. This is my review for The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.Story: 7/10I've been predicting this would be a long explanation in a review like this. I have a lot of ground to cover, but let's just get this story summarized. In a dense forest that has a population of a race known as the Kokiri, which have eternal youth, the guardian of the forest, The Great Deku Tree, orders a forest fairy known as Navi to be beside one Kokiri boy that lacks a fairy. Navi travels to the boy's home. The lazy boy sleeping in his home is none other than Link, in one of his youngest incarnations. The kid's barely nine in this game, boy is he in for a surprise... Navi wakes up Link, and tells him that the Deku Tree has summoned him. Navi and Link go to The Great Deku Tree, and the Deku Tree tells Link about the story of three goddesses that created Hyrule;Din, Nayru, and Farore. The three goddesses combined their powers to create the Triforce, the Golden Power of Zelda lore, and hide it in a Sacred Realm that is connected to Hyrule. Remember the Golden Land from A Link To The Past? Well now it's known as a 'Sacred Realm'. The Great Deku Tree tells Link he must go inside him to kill the monster living inside of him. After the dungeon is completed, The Deku tree says he has been cursed, and that he's been doomed from the start. I guess he...didn't like having spiders and gohmas inside his body before dying. Then the Deku Tree just...dies. But before he does, he tells Link the story about the leader of the Gerudo thieves, Ganondorf. Ganon put the curse on the Deku Tree, and that Ganon is the ringleader for all the evil that will/is consuming Hyrule. The Deku Tree then instructs Link with the Kokiri Emerald, one of the three spiritual stones. As Link leaves the forest to obey the Deku Tree's order to go to Hyrule Castle to meet Princess Zelda herself, he is stopped by Saria, a girl who is friends with Link. She gives Link the Fairy Ocarina, the first instrument you get. You'll learn many songs in the game that are needed to progress through the story or to get side quests done. These songs are played by inputting the correct button combination. Link runs to Hyrule Field, travels to Hyrule Castle, and meets Princess Zelda herself. Zelda, who is a child at this point, tells Link, that she has expected him because of a strange dream she had which could lead to a prophecy about the "Hero of Time" which would be Link. Zelda tells Link that in her dream, Ganon represented the dark clouds that filled the Hyrule skies. Zelda finds out that Link has the Kokiri Emerald, and tells Link about the Temple of Time, a structure built to protect the Triforce. To open the Door of Time, which guards the entrance to the Sacred Realm and the Master Sword, the blade of evil's bane, you need to play a song passed down by the Royal Family of Hyrule, and to put the three stones in the altar in the Temple of Time. The other two stones are the Goron Ruby and the Zora Sapphire. Zelda's guardian Impa, tells Link to go to Kakiriko Village, the village Impa was raised in, then to Death Mountain, home of the rock-eating Gorons. That's where the second dungeon is. You meet Darunia, the leader of the Goron race, who thanks Link for helping his people, but it doesn't really go anywhere towards that. Same with the next area. Link goes to Zora Domain, home of the Zoras. (Boy, these guys sure have gotten prettier over the 3D transition. How do you go from a Gyarados to a man-fish that's also a hunk?) Link meets Princess Ruto, a Zora that's your average rebellious princess, but she's only used to obtain the last Spiritual Stone. After Link has collected all the stones, he is ready to go to the Temple of Time, located in the Hyrule Castle Market area. As Link approaches the Hyrule Castle area, dark clouds fill the skies, then Link encounters Ganondorf. Impa and Zelda are seen escaping by horseback, then Zelda tosses the Ocarina of Time in the moat. Ganondorf pushes Link aside and hunts down Princess Zelda. After Ganon is gone, Link grabs the Ocarina of Time, and he has a vision of Princess Zelda teaching him a song known as the Song of Time, which is used to open the Door of Time. Link opens the Door of Time and discovers the Master Sword, and when he pulls it out of its pedestal, he goes into a coma. It's revealed that Ganondorf was secretly following Link the whole time, and that when, Link pulled out the sword, it opened the passageway to the Sacred Realm, allowing Ganondorf to steal the Triforce with no resistance (Woop Woop). Link wakes up in the Sacred Realm and he is greeted by the Sage of Light, Rauru. Rauru tells Link that the reason he's here is that he wasn't old enough to become the Hero of Time just yet. As a result, seven years has passed, and Link is now sixteen, equipped with earrings, magical gauntlets, and tights. Rauru tells Link that the other six sages are trapped in six different temples. One in the Lost Woods, one in a volcano, one in a lake, one under a graveyard, and one in a desert. But, one of the sages is Zelda herself. Apparently, Ganondorf has turned Hyrule into a desolateness wasteland. And by that, he means the Market in the Hyrule Castle area. Hyrule Field looks COMPLETELY untouched, and Kakiriko Village is still the same. I guess it hasn't been too bad for these people, but maybe I'm overlooking some details...After Rauru's speech, Link is sent back to the Temple of Time, and he runs into Shiek, a character that is part of an organization of ninjas that protect the Royal Family. Shiek is a character that does NOTHING, except teach you warp songs on your Ocarina, and spends a majority of the game off screen. At some point, you think Link and Shiek will team up, but Shiek just goes away. Well, I guess they didn't want to take away Link's spotlight too much, which is sad, because Link himself is an absolute piece of wood, and this game really makes that apparent. He doesn't speak, react to much, and seems to have no emotional connection to anybody in this game. If Miyamoto wanted Link to represent the player, then, well, I'm not seeing it. For myself for that matter. I can't relate to this guy at all. After Shiek tells Link about all the peril, the story sort of...pauses if I can describe it any better. You've got an objective, Ganon's the king of evil and all that, but until you rescue the last sage, and you're ready to take him on, the story is just blank. Basically, all you do is enter the front of the dungeon, Shiek teaches you a song used to conveniently warp there, Link completes the dungeon, and the sage thanks you for rescuing him/her. There's a bit of small talk between Link and each sage, but that's it. Small talk. They basically go out of their way to explain the perils of Ganon, but since we already know what's going on, it's kind of pointless. After you're done with all five dungeons, Link heads to the Temple of Time, and meets Princess Zelda in her teen form like Link. Zelda was revealed to be Shiek all along. Come on, don't tell me THAT'S the reason Shiek barely does anything in this game. Zelda gives Link the power of the Light Arrows, which are required to deal the finishing blow to Ganondorf, so think of it as the Silver Arrow from Zelda 1 and A Link To The Past. Zelda is then trapped in this magic crystal by Ganon's powers. Shouldn't have removed your ninja disguise, Zelda! Why would she even do that? Wasn't she trying to hide from Ganon, but I'm getting a little off topic here. Link goes to Hyrule Castle, which is now Ganon's Castle, and basically by the assistance of Zelda, Link is able to deal the finishing hit to Ganon. After that, Link and Zelda are kinda face to face and Zelda uses the Song of Time to send Link back to his lost childhood, to fulfill those lost seven years. Then everyone just goes nuts and celebrates the death of Ganon. The very last scene is Young Link and Young Zelda, and the game is finally over. I know I've been talking about the story the longest for any other game I've reviewed at this point, but when you think about it, this story line is as simple as A Link To The Past. This story does have more flavor, and it does tell you how the Triforce was created and Hyrule in general, so I'll rate this story a 7/10.Depth: 8/10This game does offer a lot, so I'm rating this an 8/10. I don't even know where to start. Well, I'll start for why I said playing this game on a Nintendo 64 was a good idea. You know what grinds my gears? Trying to play Ocarina songs on a freaking analog stick. Remember the button combination I told you about? Well the GameCube and Wii Virtual Console controllers have an analog stick that replace the C buttons, and it's sensitive to the touch. Whenever I play this on the GameCube, which is occasional and I mess up on a string of notes, I die inside. If you're planning to play this, play on an actual N64! Period. Let's move on to the controls. You attack with B, and if you press Z, you can Z Target, and you can lock on to enemies and objects or people you can check easier if you lock on to the noun with the Z Target to perform contact sensitive actions. Contact sensitive actions. If Link's Awakening had THAT, I would definitely cut that game a little more slack. Well, at least if the Power Bracelet was contact sensitive. This game has a lot of side quests too, to earn item expansions or heart pieces. There's also these Gold Skulltula spiders all around Hyrule, 50 of them. If you collect ten, you earn a treasure from the family that has been cursed by the spiders. Since the Zelda franchise, has turned 3D, the activity has changed. There's a LOT to do here. What takes me one hour in A Link To The Past could take me several hours in this game. But maybe it's not fair to compare the two. One is 2D, one is 3D. Speaking of the 3D shift, because of that, Hyrule is BIG. Link sure isn't the fastest thing alive in this game. Hyrule Field is very big and spacious, and there isn't much set pieces other than the occasional Peahat. I always find myself side-jumping everywhere, which is one of the fast-paced reflexes you can perform with Z, to get to locations. On the second half of the game, you get a horse known as Epona that makes travelling to a certain location a total pushover. But in the first half of the game, you've gotta travel through Hyrule on foot, and it can be a pain. Now back to the topic of side quests, a few of them are pretty strict. I'm not a big fan of the shooting gallery, because the slingshot isn't as precise as I'd like it to be, and don't even get me started on how you obtain the largest quiver. Speaking of items, I do kinda like Link's arsenal in this game. You even can get three magic spells in this game, but only one of them are required. The only problems I have are;I hate using the Hookshot in this game. It's pretty inaccurate, and it's a pain to use, not to mention getting hit by enemies while trying to use. Also, there's a few items in this game that have pretty limited use. Take the Megaton Hammer for an example. You get this in the Fire Temple, and it's required to beat the Fire Temple, but after that, it's totally worthless, other than to discover this ONE fairy fountain. The Ice Arrows are completely optional and don't really make the game easier like they were intended to, and 2/3 of the spells in this game are totally optional and don't really help that much, but it is nice to see all the items in your inventory, useless or not. Something that returns is a Magic Meter. Magic is used for using Elemental Arrows, Spells, and the Eye of Truth. I don't really use Magic items unless they're required to progress through. There's a lot of content that's hidden in this game, and I mean REALLY hidden. You don't know how many times I have needed to use a guide on my first run. A lot of times I consulted the internet was for finding obvious content that I'm too stupid enough to find, so don't be surprised if you also have to use a guide. But I think the Master Quest version of this game, a GameCube port is asking for it. I guess I should move on. The characters in this game, much less every 3D Zelda game, are pretty unique in their own way. You've got the king of Zoras, Gorman the ranch worker, Guru Guru, I think you'll like all the characters in this game, and most of them even make a return in Majora's Mask, the Zelda game created two years later. Since this game has EIGHT dungeons, there's a total of 36 heart pieces in this game. Collect four heart pieces, and a heart is added to your life meter. Unlike Link's Awakening, you can collect a total of 20 hearts for your life meter. The sad thing about the Temples is that a couple of them feel like they never end. And yes, I'm talking about the Water Temple. The reason this particular dungeon is because you constantly have to change the water level, switch between your Iron Boots and Kokiri Boots to either float on water, or be able to walk on water. This dungeon is so confusing, it actually took me two years to figure out, but on my first run I just consulted the internet. You also need to collect the Zora Tunic to be able to breathe underwater. Another limited use of an item! The Fire Temple does this too. The Goron Tunic allows you to stand extreme temperature. The only dungeons I like in this game are Inside The Great Deku Tree, Forest Temple, and Fire Temple. The rest are boring, confusing, or just uninteresting in other ways. A lot of 3D Zelda games seem to have pretty boring dungeons, but I think Ocarina of Time specifically wins that award. I will admit that the bosses are pretty fun, specifically the Fire Temple boss, and the Forest Temple. Before you start your dungeon crawl of the Water Temple and Shadow Temple, it's best that you look up some outside assistance. I haven't explained everything this game offers, but just know this game offers a LOT, so this game may take you a few weeks to complete, possibly a couple months if you don't use a guide.Difficulty: 6/10This game isn't really that difficult when it comes to combat and avoiding obstacles, it's more of knowing what you're supposed to do, and when to execute that action. This is a game that you might want to use a guide at a few parts, but when you're talking about combat and dodging obstacles the game presciently throws at you, it's not much of a challenge. This is really all I can cay about the game's overall difficulty, unfortunately.Graphics:8/10A lot of Nintendo 64 games have good graphics and this is one of them. Yeah, this game doesn't have high quality textures from the power of the Expansion Pack like Majora's Mask, but I think this game has some pretty good graphics. There's a lot of sprites that look pretty sloppy, but overall, the graphics in this game aren't bad. This game keeps me visually interested at times, has good atmospheres and textures, but I will say that Majora's Mask wins in this department, but Ocarina of Time was good for a starter 3D Zelda game. The character designs for the Nintendo 64 Zelda ports look pretty ridiculous, though. Some of them look cool or funny, but a lot of them just look like plastic surgery patients, or deformed in some way. The TEXTURES for the characters are good, but I wouldn't say the designs are all that good in my opinion, to be frank.Sound: 9/10Here's what I've been waiting to mention. Ocarina of Time is my second favorite video game soundtrack, even though most of Majora's Mask pieces come from Ocarina of Time. A lot of themes in this game re very catchy such as Guru Guru's song, the Song of Storms, the Requiem of Spirit, THE SERENADE OF WATER, and Shiek's theme. I think every theme in this game is interesting in a way. In fact, I'm listening to an Ocarina of time theme as I'm typing this. The themes in this game are that good. I recommend you hear the Song of Storms, definitely the best song in any video game, and it seems like every sound EFFECT in this game is done right, but the soundtrack blew me away when I first played this game. All of the Ocarina songs are catchy, and every theme you hear in the game such as the Kokiri Forest theme or even the Goron City theme, I can't stop listening to the soundtrack of this game when I can. This game's soundtrack is that good. Maybe I'm over-reacting here, but I will guarantee that you will LOVE this soundtrack. And the Majora's Mask pieces are amazing too. Listen to the Deku Palace theme specifically. You'll find that the tune will get stuck in your head one way or another.Replay-ability: 8/10I've had to restart the game on my first run, because I messed up the Water Temple, but I actually had a fun time doing so. I found more secrets than I did on my first run, and I could replay my favorite dungeons, and see my favorite moments of the game. I can't say much about this category, but this game is just a good game. Again, Majora's Mask wins this award, but I think Ocarina of Time did a good job making this possible in the game. I only wished this game had a co-op mode like Goldeneye 007. There WAS going to be co-op mode for Super Mario 64, but alas...Overall: 8.6/10Overall, I'm rating this game an 8.6/10. This game has a few flaws, but I think this game isn't actually that bad. A LOT of people classify this as their favorite Zelda game, much less game...honestly...I'm not seeing it. I would still prefer A Link To The Past, but overall, I actually think this game is not a bad fit, and I think you might wanna consider trying out this game for yourself. You might actually enjoy this game.This has been The Legend of Zedla: Ocarina of Time

Zelda ocrarina of time   Shade123
I find the game to be very entertaining. Now, people say oh why should you give graphics a 10 they suck now. And yes the key word is now. For it's time, the graphics of this game were the best of the best. And that is coming from a Sonic fan lover. Now, as I was saying, the music gets a ten as well, for Zelda music is the best and the sound effects are great as well, you weren't really able to ad diologe back in the day. Now of course the addictiveness speaks for it's self. Duh, a huge game like this, I would want to play it again. Now the story. I make my own books, and I always try to find a story in a game and see if I like it so it makes the game more fun. This one, It has one of the greatest story lines you could ask for. Now, if this could happen in real life, I don't know what would happen, but I do wish that they made a book of this game, it certainly would be interesting and I most certainly would read it. Now for the depth. Do you realize how deep of a game this is for it's time? This beat down the depth of Super Mario 64, which had no plot at all, unlike Sonic and Zelda. Now, the game's title, oh what? Your expecting the ocarina at the beginning? Nope, you don't get it yet, you have to work for it. Ah, see what I'm saying, if not, I'm not explaining it, just figure it out. Now for the difficulty, well, at points it's like murder upon you. The other reason why it is so high is because it can be hard at some points to know what to do next, and back then you normally couldn't just hit the web and find a walk through, you had to use that head of yours and that pink thing of yours called a brain to know what to do, but hey, that's Zelda for you, there have always been puzzles so yea, you just got to know how to do it. But that's my review, and I shall let you know, I am a twenty-four seven gamer, so I think you shall enjoy this game.

A must play classic   mscoral
This game is a must play classic. Even though I'm not that good at playing Zelda (mostly because when I was younger I couldn't figure out how to beat it) It is still a game you should really try out. The overall game is decent, and the depth is incredible. I really love the story line, even if its almost always the same. It all revolves around princess Zelda. However, in all the Zelda games, the story line and depth with Zelda is always different, yet at the same time going back to the original story line. It's quite complicated to explain. This game is also very addicting. I always feel that I just have to solve that ONE MORE puzzle. The fighting is decent too, I like how you actually fight, and not just turn based style. That is one of my favorite features of Zelda. Also, you get to use unique tools and sometimes powers (depending on what Zelda game you are playing) The Zelda games are very creative, and very fun to play. The difficulty is very hard, and might take you a while to beat it, unless you already know how. It is very challenging, but definitley worth the wait when you feel that accomplishment that you finally beat the game. Enjoy :)

The hero of time   Delano1
Third review already YAY :) Well here I go hope you enjoy it! This game is, without a doubt, one of the best games I've ever played and also one of the best games ever made.  It's been years since I last played this game. Thanks to Vizzed, I can play it again. This game has some ups and downs. Let's find out where this game stands! When you first pop the game in, you will see the stunning opening. It is no more than Link riding across Hyrule on top of a horse, and yet itmanages to draw you into the game. What better way to do an opening, then by showing the gigantic over-world with our hero riding through it on horseback accompanied by peaceful music in the background.Graphics 10 out of 10 ; At the time when it was released, 3D was rare. And Nintendo made a masterpiece out of it. Everything in the game looked very nice and everything was highly detailed  It had full charm over the game, most people where highly interested in the game just because of the graphics. The colors weren’t too dark, too bright, it was perfectly laid out. Sure, it may not look realistic, but it was in the flow of the game exactly and stood out to most of the other games on the Nintendo 64. What I really like about the graphics is the facial features. Every character had many expressions programmed into their database. So, at a happy scene, the characters would have typical closed eye super happy faces on. But, in a dramatic sequence, Link's expression would change from his normal face to a worried face.Sound 9 out of 10 ; The sounds where fully detailed of every aspect and item of the game except there was the annoying NAVI who was saying HEY, LOOK , LISTEN all the time that pissed me off sometimes (lol) the fairy was helpful in the beginning of the game but after I knew everything she was just repeating old stuff I already knew. Also Link's voice (don't get mad at me please) was like he has been kicked in the balls. Well the music was amazing at every stage of the game it never seemed not to amaze me and when I play the game  I still hum with it when I play this game on vizzed even after all of these years. Addictiveness 8 out of 10 ; every dungeon gives you a challenge you want to beat, you want to find all the items, secrets and bosses to beat the dungeon I always enjoy every dungeon there is in the game and you get annoyed sometimes but this game.... you just can't quit it was so addictive that I found myself playing this game hour after hour after hour... I loved this game and I'm not sure if this game was so addictive for all of you guys but this game is one of my most favourite games ever! Story 8 out of 10 ; The story in this game was really well taught of there were a lot of cut-scenes with lots of info about the story also the environment really fitted well with the story line; if there was an area with a dark aura everything looked scary and you could just wait for the cut-scene to fly in. Depth 9 out of 10 ; Sheesh this game just goes on and on and on! There is over 100 hours of game play and you can replay all of the dungeons to find secrets and items and even after you beat Ganon you can load your save and play in the land of Hyrule! Difficulty 7 out of 10 ; This game was pretty hard.. I died pretty often but it was still playable nothing was really too hard and it was still enjoyable if you died like 10 times you just wanted to beat the stage or complete that dungeon because this game is one of the best games ever made!

Okay, well, here's my first review of a game ever! Yippee! Ahem, anyway, as any Nintendo fan can tell you, the Legend of Zelda series is easily one of, if not THE, most addictive and deep gaming series ever! This doesn't fall short in any of the games. Ocarina of Time is no exception, as you shall soon hear.Considering the game is for the Nintendo 64 gaming console, it's obvious the game is going to have great graphics. In a nutshell, it's the first game from the Legend of Zelda series that NAILED 3D graphics. That there is a solid ten!The sound is not just good. The sound is AMAZING! The music in Nintendo games is considered legendary in its own right. Legend of Zelda is included in this category, of course. Every Zelda game has its selection of music. From Link to the Past to Skyward Sword. Each one has the music we know and love. Ocarina of Time is obviously included in this category. The music in Kokiri Village all the way to the peak of the tallest mountain is astounding. It's impossible not to love the music. Another ten from me!In the area of addiction to the game, there is no fault. If you're like me, you don't drop something in the middle and never come back to it. Even if it's the worst game or whatever you're doing in the world, you won't stop until you see the ending. That aside, I can still tell when a game will call me back for more, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will call you back over and over and over again. It doesn't matter who you are. You can even be like my cousin and never come back to something once you finish it, and still come back for more! TEN!The story is similar to every other Zelda game, so I had to dock points for that. Although Ocarina of Time, like all the others, has the details that separate it from the other games, so I still gave it a high rating. As for the main story line, GORGEOUS! I LOVED IT! You will love it too! I promise! I give story a nine!As for depth... I'm incredibly proud to say on Nintendo's behalf, that this is one of the biggest worlds within gaming history! Not too big, with normal sized areas that are simple and challenging to all of the people in the gaming population. Not too small, with vast areas that take time to progress through, while outside a building or town you can watch the day turn to night and the night turn to day. The enemies you face throughout the world are as unique as they are dangerous. From the gruntiest of the grunts to the bossiest of the bosses, the enemies and bosses add a depth that the adventure itself can't quite reach. Although the adventure itself is more than enough to reach ten on its own, in my opinion, the enemies bring it up even more! I wish the scale didn't stop at ten, because this could easily be higher than that. But, seeing as ten is the limit, I give depth a score of ten.The game itself is not difficult to get through, but some enemies can take practice to defeat, and some puzzles are frustrating enough to make you scream. It is this counterbalance that made me rate difficulty at a five. Right in the middle.Overall, it would definitely be at least an eight, but considering my love for all things Nintendo, and my even greater love for all things Zelda, this brings it up by at least one point. The final point is secured by the unique events throughout the game.Now that sums up my review right there. A final score of ten points! Now come with me and escape into the land of Hyrule! HYAAAAAA!!!

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeless   sonic3321
This is my first Zelda review so lets begin. Prologue: ok so i first played this the christmas of 2013. and i finally finished 2 months ago. the game downright BLEW ME AWAY. I was hooked and now i am going to tell you my personal ratings. Graphics 10: The graphics for the game were AMAZING i never knew the N64 could accomplish such great graphics. the detailing is UNREAL. And obviously the temples were astounding. Sound: 10 Alright we all cannot deny this fact. THE MUSIC IN THE GAME IS HEAVENLY. the soundtrack is unforgettable. and i think it is what mainly helped put the "Legend' in the legend of zelda. Addictiveness: 10 The game sucks you in until you complete it. it is very addicting to try to get past the temples. Story: 10 The STORY IS AWESOME, Whether it be That SPOILER ALERT [spoiler]Shiek is Zelda, or The gorons make you their brother after clearing Dodongo's Cavern. The story makes you want to see what goes next. Depth:10 THERE IS SOOOO MUCH TO DO. you can try to get the Biggoron sword which is twice as powerful as the master sword. or try to get all gold skuttulas. and much more. Granted it does not have as much replay value as majora's mask but it still deserves a 10. Difficulty: 5 It was not really that hard as it was just frustrating. The dificulty is solid. the controls are easy to understand. There is no downside to the controls.Overall 10: the game overall is the one of if not the best Legend of Zelda game. it REALLY deserves all of the praise it gets. the only title i can describe it as is a "Legend".

awesome   PokePal435
Hey hey hey. It's your neighborly friend and Vizzed gamer, PokePal435. I'm bak again to give yet another review but this time for another game I absolutely love: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In my opinion, I love Ocarina of Time more than Majora's Mask but I love all Zelda games nevertheless. Zelda is on my top 3 list of games to play so sit back, relax, and enjoy my reviewWell time to go down the list, leaving the Overall for last:Graphics 10 - I give graphic a 10 because just like any game, i needs clear graphic to be able to play the game. If the graphics were hard and difficult to see, then the game would not be fun to play. So yeah, you would need to have easy to read, easy to see graphics to be able to know what you are doing, where you need to go, what you need to read, etc. Also about the graphics I love how everything has a different texture and coloration to them because just like unreadable graphics, if everything looked the same, that would make the game and everything hard to know where to go. So this game has amazing graphics considering my liking of the original Zelda games (yes, I consider Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask part of the original Zelda games list). Nevertheless, I rate the graphics of this game a 10 (no surprise there).Sound 10 - I just love listening to the sounds throughout the game (horses at the ranch, different tunes on the Ocarina, sounds when opening a chest, etc.) The sounds throughout the game are just so awesome at times, then they can turn ominous at a later time (especially during boss battles) I have always been fascinated with the many different sounds throughout the game. They just never cease to amuse me, hence why I rate the sounds of this game a 10.Addictiveness 10 - I will always come back to this game at some point because I love this game out of all the Zelda games that are out there. I don't exactly know why I prefer this game over the others. I just have had this liking for Ocarina of Time for as long as I can remember. Well, like I said, I would always come back to this game at some point because it has and will always be my favorite Zelda game. That shows how addicting this game is to me, hence why the rating for addictiveness is a 10.Story 10 - Even though I don't think I have ever beat the game, for as much as I have played, I love the story. I mean, come on, I would love to go into this game and rescue Princess Zelda myself.. I love how the story starts off and progressively gets better throughout the game. Nothing more I can say here except how much I love this game. I rate the story of this game a 10.Depth 10 - Everything has been put together well in this game. I love how deep the game goes (creatures get harder, bosses get harder, etc.) Not much more I can about this. I give depth a 10.Difficulty 10 - I give Difficulty a 10 because I don't think I have ever beat the game before. Mainly because I don't remember all where to go and stuff like that. Don't know where to find the items. There is just a lot about the game that is still kinda confusing to me because, like I said, I don't think I have ever completed the game before. So yeah I rate this game a 10 for difficulty.Overall 10 - I love everything about this game because I love Zelda altogether. The story, graphics, addictiveness, sound, depth, difficulty, everything was good about this game. It just keeps me coming back to play more. So, overall, I rate this game a 10,That's the end of my review. Thank you all for taking the time to read my review :)~PokePal435 has lft the building~

Started it all!   SirBowen
Overall: 10!Of course this was review was going to happen, I'm a HUGE Zelda fan!! I've played almost all the games and my favorite has to be Majora's Mask. But I HAD to give this game a 10 because this was the one that sparked my love for the franchise. I remember playing this game as a young lad and enjoying every minute of it! I mean, playing it now at the age of 23, it still puts the same smile on my face when I hear the opening theme.  Everything altogether is a 10, individually I don't rank them so high because it's when it's all together that it's truly something special. This game is considered a Masterpiece by almost all gamers, even if they don't even like it. I mean, we all have to seriously consider how amazing this game is. And the 3DS remake is just as good as the original and it even includes the Master Quest after you beat it for the first time! I never had the Master Quest version when I was a kid, so you could imagine my excitement when I heard about it being in the remake. But that's enough about that, let us continue, shall we?Graphics: 8Playing it when I was younger, I never really cared for anything besides the fact that I was a Hero and could travel through certain points in time and I had a bad ass sword!! What isn't there to love? But playing it nowadays, it definitely gives away it's age, but only ever in the best way possible. Some things in this will creep me out because the graphics, and some things are down right hilarious. I won't be too harsh on them because back then, you had to work with very little compared to what we have now and I think it was mostly very creative. And who doesn't remember that damned creepy creature in the spirit temple? Oh yeah! The Dead Hand! f*** that thing, it still gives me nightmares sometimes.Sound: 10!Are you kidding? Greatest soundtrack of all time!! Ask anyone, they've heard SOMETHING from this game. It's too iconic to ignore. In my opinion, the overall sound of this game just suits it ever so perfectly! Everything from the background noise in Link's house to the final blow on Ganon, it's just so perfect to me! I could go on for days, but people would lose interest in reading this if it's too long, right? Or at least my fellow nerds who don't like to really read these reviews. Right! On with the review!Addictiveness: 8Not too surprising, considering how easy it was to get frustrated by this game! And let's be honest, there is a hell of a lot of waiting to be done in this game. I can play this for hours on end if I'm having a good day, or I can put it down after a little while because of a dungeon. I'm not trying to speak ill of Ocarina of Time. Truth be told, there are more fun times than bad. Although, who else remembers just wasting precious hours by going fishing all the time? I'm almost positive that Zelda got quite impatient with me sometimes. That's another reason it's ranked pretty high! All the bonus stuff you get to do! If you're like me, you absolutely HAVE to 100% every video game you play, and there is a LOT to be collecting during your quest. See, not all bad.Story: 9Start to finish, you feel like you ARE the Hero of Time! Or at least I did. I know that it's an incredibly linear game and you're always being told where to go, but you were being told about everything during your quest. I mean, come on, there's an entire time line that puts all the games together! That's awesome!Depth: 8Doesn't have a lot of depth to it. As awesome as the story was, taking a real look at how deep it feels, it really isn't the deepest Legend of Zelda game. I did acknowledge the story and how it is deep, but it's not too deep. There were things that made me laugh and it broke the feel they were trying to maintain. Not to say that it didn't capture other moods perfectly, I'm just saying that it wasn't the best is all. But, it is in a time line. That's deep, right?Difficulty: 6Controls are simple, the camera works nicely most of the time. There were points where it had bad camera angles, but not so many that it was hard. This game overall wasn't too hard. "What's so hard about swish, swish, stab?" Also, the dungeons mainly consisted of a core item then defeating the boss with said item. The only "difficult" part of this game is the waiting. Point A, "swish, swish, stab," go through dungeon, get item, kill boss,slay Ganon, save Zelda. I'm only being honest and I do assure you that I am a Legend of Zelda fan, even when they are putting the same formula in most of their games. This is it, you made it all the way through. Sorry if it doesn't seem too organized, I prefer writing things on the spot. Anyways, I really hope you enjoyed reading this review as much as I enjoyed writing it all out.Until next time,   Sir Bowen

One of the best games ever, period   Sayanos
 

One of the

best gems that Nintendo has to offer comes again with a powerhouse that showcases

what the Nintendo 64 can really do…

Coming out

on November 21, 1998 on Japan and November 23 of the same year; an action-adventure game of extremely high caliber which boasted three dimensional graphics and a large scale map with beautiful scenery. This game offered and introduced new features such as the target lock-on and context-sensitive buttons.

In sales, the

legend of Zelda came in at a whopping 820,000 copies in Japan, making it the tenth best-selling game of the year and to this date it’s sold approximately 7.6 million copies worldwide.

This game has

had four releases including of course the Nintendo 64 version, the game cube version, the 3ds version and on the Wii’s virtual console. These releases were well received in each of these despite some critics which considered the game unchanged and outdated.

Box front:

Includes the title of the game, Nintendo logo and the Master sword and hylian shield. The background of the box is gold and the side, where the logo as well as the esrb rating are is colored red.  The collector’s

edition shares the same qualities as the other, but has some golden colored

lines that go around the hylian shield.  There’s also the game of the year edition box

which states that the game was declared game of the year on 1999.

These are

only for the Western version of the game. In Japan the box art is quite different. It depicts old link, already riding Epona in black, the center of the box’s background which is behind link and Epona’s color is blue and the side background is black in some spots, blue in others. The black on the side looks like fog. The same as the American version in the name of the game and the sword and shield.

Now, onto

the review:

 

10/10Graphics:

The game’s graphics are astounding with each of your own movements and the enemies being fluid as well as well detailed. Grand expanses of lands, rivers, trees, a city, a town, a desert, snow, ice… It’s all here and beautifully depicted. Hell, you can even see things in the distance… The menacing look of Death Mountain after you turn into adult link is still vivid in my mind. There’s also the few cut scenes that play throughout the game.

 

10/10Sound:

Sound wise it’s just grand, majestic and simply breathtaking. Every piece of music on ocarina of time is something that will stay with you after you’ve played it and even after that. From the original, epic main theme which we all know and love and can practically hum completely, to the several songs you play with your ocarina, to the music that plays when you fight bosses, to the song that plays when you’re in the main menu, I could just stay in the menu to listen to that alone by the way <3… This game’s music is just fantastic and there’s no discounting this.

10/10Addictive:

This game… This game’s addictiveness is not even a question. You can play this game throughout a whole day, beat it, go find the heart pieces, be a fisherman, go back in time and be a mask salesman, come back through time to go through the several errands in order to get the biggoron’s sword, do the poe side quest, do the skulltula side quest (Sorry if I spelled it wrong), get all the fairies… Well… I don’t need to say more right? 

10/10Story:

Well, we all know this story right? For those who do not I will place a spoiler warning before I write it and make all of it a different color in order for you, the readers to be able to avoid spoilers if it’s your first play  through.

Spoiler warning: We start with our young hero, Link, a young boy who lives in the kokiri

forest. In one of his dreams he sees a young girl riding a horse with an adult, running away from a red haired colored male… Later on in the game we discover that the small female is named Zelda, the princess of Hyrule and that the red haired male is the king of the Gerudo’s, Ganondorf.  He is the main antagonist in the game who

wishes to reach the sacred realm. Once he finds out about the tri-force within

that realm; he goes to grasp it, but because he is not chosen to wield its

whole power, it divides into three pieces. The three pieces of the tri-force are

courage, wisdom and the one acquired by Ganon, power. The tri-force was created

by the three goddesses of this world you play in and is extremely powerful.

The way you

are at the start of the game is not strong enough to defeat the power of Ganon; so you must take up the legendary sword, the master sword, and become an adult with time travel. Being one of the chosen by the tri-force, courage; you must take up your blade against the many enemies to bar your path and become the legendary hero of time to fight the evil king. 

Can’t say I’m

not impressed with how epic in scale this story is… I left out a lot in order to give new players who chose to read these spoilers in the dark about a few things. Either way, play on and enjoy this amazing tale of sword and shield.

10/10Depth:

This game has so much content hidden within its cartridge that’s it’s not even funny. I mentioned most of them before in the addictiveness section. It’s not just the quest… It’s how you go about completing it, and my lord there’s a lot to see beside’s the main story. 

7/10difficulty:

This is the only part of the game I have a small gripe with… The difficulty is time. The only hard part in this game is sitting there and waiting patiently for that one skeleton dude with the sword and shield to freaking swing his sword…  Other than that the difficulty is

pretty easy if you don’t count the puzzle element for newcomers; even then it’s

not much of a challenge.

The control

scheme is easy to get used to and easy to manage. You will be using Z targeting a lot so get used to it early within the game and never stop using it; it’s your best friend.

With this

ends my little review of the game. Hope the people who see it enjoy it.

One of the all-time greats!   Ultrajeff
Background: Hello, I'm Ultra Jeff, reviewing a game that needs no introduction... The ocarina of time! What's to say about this game that hasn't been said before? Well, I'll tell you what I think of it. Don't take this the wrong way, this is just how I feel. Graphics. I only think the graphics are decent, really. Hyrule pops with color, and it shows in the vibrant, lush, expansive environments. The characters are simple yet expressive. Everything has that distinct Zelda feel. They were great for N64 standards. Now, while they are well defined, they are only satisfactory to me.Sound: It is quite wonderful. Certain songs like Zelda's Lullaby and the Song of Storms really are just quite memorable and get stuck in your head, having you hum along to them all the time. Story: The plot is actually quite simple yet practical. The game focuses on Link, a Hylian boy without a fairy who must travel the world and discover his destiny. Along the way, he meets wonderful friends, fierce enemies and explores the world like he never thought before. He obviously has to stop Ganon from getting the Tri-force and ruling the world. It is very simple and short, but acceptable for this game in the slightest. Game play: The game revolves around collecting items and fighting rampant monsters, while progressing in the game's story. Navi guides you and informs you about the current situation. You eventually find Epona, and you are able to engage in stylish, convenient horseback riding.  Depth & Game Difficulty: The depth is unsatisfactory. You usually go from one location to another, while talking to NPCs, buying items, and traversing dangerous dungeons. While it isn't bad, it certainly isn't anything too amazing. The game isn't too terrible difficult, as enemies are easy to defeat and hints are abundant. It's simple and straightforward. Ocarina of time is truly a decent game, and i don't need to go on forever about what makes it such. It has quite the enormous reputation, though that shouldn't be a factor. I personally don't adore this game, but maybe you might. Play it yourself and see if it's worthy of the moniker of "Best Game".

Legend of Zelda OT review   mataug2012
Here is my review for this game. First of all i owned it on the n64 and loved it as a kid. I got it again for Nintendo GameCube and still play it on there. When I found out about Vizzed Retro Game Room I had to play it. Using the keyboard was kinda hard for these games but still very playable. Now on to the vizzed game.  Sound is great. Story fantastic. Difficulty was kinda hard but still hard at some points like dungens. Graphics are outdated but it still looks great. Over all this game is the best of all. My one problem is it dose crash some times but not to often. So at last this game is a 10 out of 10.   Have a good game.

best game with ok like graphic   zelfrex21
The game is a very interesting game! Its actually isn't that hard but the story line was great for me but I don't know for you because our opinion is different depending on person but this game is a very amusing game its a game worth checking out with the graphics that you don't usually find in this kind of game makes it all worth a stop to look at and of course to play since this game could be a bit addictive once you have started to play it but it depends mostly on the person interest. What I am going to tell you is that this game is worth your attention please take your time to enjoy this.

The Best Game Of All Times   hushmusicent
This is the BEST game thus far, I believe all the other zelda games really and most definitly branched and gained its roots from this game, How could anybody get bored of the same hero and the princess story. also my opinion is i think that Grand Theft Auto and othe free roaming games rooted and branched from this game. It does have alot to offer but if you played one zelda you played them all so the difficulty is easy. (plus its me no game is ever realy hard.) And thats why I give it a 10. Sound is hot i even got it as ringtone

Zelda: Ocarina of Time   DarkPegasus87
   I like Ocarina of Time a good bit and will continue to play it even after I finally manage to beat it. My only problem is item gathering and I know there's a ways to go because the prices are higher in some places then my initial money carrying limit. That and the fact that I can't figure out how to get the 3rd sacred Icon, but I will continue to try until I do. The music and graphics are great and the game is no so hard once you know what to do and where to go, and where to find what you need to complete the goals set. It's the finding that is the hardest part, but the game is great overall.

LOZ:Oot   iluvkiwibirds
I have this game on the n64 and it is very nostalgic. I love this game but there is better (and worse) in the Zelda franchise. The temples could be better because I hate most of the temples. I keep coming back to the game though and trying to get past the hard parts. I almost beat the game but I did the glitch  where you turn things into bottles ( when swinging a bottle assign another thing to that spot) on a bombchu after the spirit temple an d when I went to Gannon's tower I realized I needed a bombchu to get past the puzzle, so I had to restart the game from the beginning. To recap it's a good game but there is better (windwaker) and worse (twighlight princess so far) in the Legend of Zelda franchise.

Almost as good as the 3D version   charmaster
This game is one of my favorites and it is the one I have played most as well as being a fun game to play. It may not be as good as the 3D version mainly because of graphics, sound, and not having master quest on it. other than those three things I would really recommend playing this along with the sequels for it which are Majora's Mask, and then Twilight Princess. I would be extremely surprised if you are not at all annoyed by Navi. But really you must play this game that is one of the top rated in the world?

One of my favorite Zelda games   austin5141
This is one of my favorite Zelda games. This along with Majora's Mask. This game has pretty good graphics and a pretty good soundtrack. This game is addicting. You will love it. The storyline is just wonderful. It can be very hard at times,especially at some boss battles, but that does not take away the fun of the game. I enjoy this game alot, and if you try it, you will too. I am not going to spoil anything, so just click the play button and start the fun. The game is pretty long. Long and fun. I love this game. Always have, always will.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Where memories are made!   Dylberts
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time could be with out a doubt one of the most strategic and puzzling games released to this date. This game will really challenge ones mind into having to think extremely creative to move onto the next step in its quest! Games are honestly not made like this game anymore! This game allows you the freedom to wonder and do mini games/activities, but also allow you to keep up with your main quest at your own pace. The story line will really absorb you into the game and make you feel as though you're there and striving to learn more answers to the unanswered questions you reveal through out the game. I highly recommend playing this game and promise the decision to will not be regrettable! In conclusion, this game was fantastic!

I love the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I didn't grow up in the SNES and N64 era, so I didn't get to play it until the remake on the 3DS. I loved it, and behind Kid Icarus: Uprising, it was my all time favorite 3DS game. A few days ago, I decided to revisit it on Vizzed.com, and I still love it just as much. I gave the game a 9.5 because no game is absolutely perfect (except for Skyrim and Uncharted 2), but it is still ultra-fun, and almost defines "classic game". Now I gave the game a 7 for graphics because while the graphics are slightly better than the Mario games, you could still find better graphics on other N64 games like Banjo-Kazooie and Conker. I gave the sound a 6 since there are some dungeons that have some pretty crappy music, and there is the infamous BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP when you are low on health, but otherwise the music is good. This game got a 9 for addictiveness since the replay value is average, but I spent entire afternoons working on some of the dungeons (but I still hate the water temple). The story is a 10 because the overall story is good, and also there are a bunch of mini-stories mixed in that are great and don't come close to ruining the overall experience. The depth is 10, because, just like Fallout 3, the world is huge and there is new things to explore everywhere. Finally, the difficulty is 4  since you don't exactly blow through the game, but it is still pretty easy. I going to say, if you haven't played this game, you definitely should.

WORK OF GENUIS   pwncakess
Like I said this game is just a work of art. It was revolutionary to it's time and some of the fundamentals it introduced are still used in games todayGraphics: Not everyone will appreciate them, but this was one of the first 3D games made and they did it so well and so effortlessly that it looks as good as some modern gamesSound: Who doesn't love running down a road fighting monsters to the main theme song of Zelda games??? Not only that the sound just always fits in the right places and enhances the game play.Addictiveness:  I can't stop playing this. I play it everyday :) and this isn't my first run through. You will find yourself playing it over and over.Story: It takes the normal cliché Zelda "hero" storyline and makes it something bigger, better, and more fun than anything that has come before it, a pleasure to read :D.Depth: Very very long play time, I could spend hours in each town. It has lots of side quests and heart pieces to get and the game itself takes a while to beat.Difficulty: Just remember back to the first time you played it.... it was actually challenging. Now it still provides a challenge and takes some time its just that you have already gone through it and that you are a much better gamer. Still provides a challenge and that water temple is a pain -.-Overall: One of the best games I have ever played. In my mind everywhere and I always compare it to new games I start to play. None of them ever live up and compare <3

Yes, just yes.   DragonSlayer22
This game,I personally didn't own this game, but my friend did, he let me look at it and play it and I was truly amazed. I personally owned a PlayStation 1, while my friend had it and a Nintendo 64. We had compared several games side-by-side for consoles such as Mortal Kombat 4. This game however, we could not compare, as there was nothing like this on the PlayStation 1. This game changed the way I looked at video games forever, in a good way.Graphics: 7 I used to think the graphics were very good on this game, some people say they still are, but I am not sure about that. You see, the textures look okay, a little pixelated bu somewhat realistic, but the game runs at about 20 frames per second.Sound: 9 The sound effects are still good to this day, with being higher quality voices and attack sounds. The soundtrack is great and will keep you motivated to run around and explore. 

Addictiveness: 9 The game is still fun to play to this day and I like how it looks, I own the Virtual Console version on my Wii U now and it's pretty much the same game. I still like to play this game to this day. Depth: 9 There is so much to do in this game, you can complete dungeons in (almost) random order and once you complete the main quest, the fun isn't over, you can do many side quests and talk to many people and pretty much do what you want. This game is very big and 100% completion of the game takes a long time to do. At least 5-6 hours I believe.

Difficulty: 8 This game is a bit open-ended as to what you can do, which is a good thing. Sometimes however, you can get lost in a dungeon of sorts or even get confused on puzzles. I got lost a couple of times, but I did complete it after trial and error.OVERALL: 9.5 I still have this game on Virtual Console, and I still like playing it to this day. It is a fun game that anyone will enjoy. The cart is hard to find and around $20 usually, but the game on Virtual Console is $9.

I also like how hyrule castle look. Sound:10/10 I would say that the sounds are okay & the music in the game looks okay as well. i love the musics from the Dungeons. i even like to listen to the boss music that is good music. sound effects are pretty good Addictiveness: 10/10 I already have Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.

I love how big Hyrule Field is. I have to that is so cool & i love how big all the worlds are Difficulty: 1/10 I would say that Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time was very hard for me when i first play it but bosses are easy to beat but some bosses were hard for me to beat. there are some Temples are hard to figure out like the Water Temple,Spirit Temple,Shadow Temple. there are some temple are easy to figure like inside the Deku Tree,Dodongo Cavern,inside the Jabu-Jabu's Belly,Fire Temple,Forest Temple,Ganon's Castle. Mini-games are hard for me to do

REVIEW #3: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time   loganvllach
I wanted to save this review for the final 10 reviews, but I'm feeling risky, I'm going to review Ocarina.  Let's get right to it.THE LEGEND OF ZELDA          OCARINA OF TIMEThe game is a masterpiece, and that isn't even nostalgia blinded.That being said, I had to break a fair wall of nostalgia to produce a fair review, and if for any reason you happen to be offended, I give you my utmost apologies.Without further ado, I'm going to start with the Difficulty.Difficulty      [ 4 / 10 ]I never truly found myself challenged in this game, and near all of it was simplistic for the younger audiences, it's nearly pitiful how easy this game truly is.  While some of the Biggoron's Sword sequences were kind of hard, nothing in this game is close to impossible.   A few interesting things to talk about, are the Running Man, who is a man that can be challenged in a race once Link has become an adult, the race is from the Gerudo Valley to the entrance of the Kokiri Forest.   For those new to the game, those areas are polar opposites in the country of Hyrule, the setting of the game.   If you want a harder version, try the sequel to the game: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which has a much better atmosphere and better character development to pair with the higher difficulty.   Not much challenge to this game, so I'm going to give difficulty a 4/10.Depth        [ 6 / 10 ]Depth wise, there isn't a lot of replay value to this game, and I sometimes find myself rather bored when playing the game, it doesn't have a ton of stuff to do, unlike Super Mario 64, which had a lot of missions to come back to, and discover.    I must admit, there are some fun side quests to do, like the Mask Selling side quests, though there is no pay off to doing these, and they are just a pass time.   Dungeons never really give you a reason to return to them either, since rupees can be found quintessentially anywhere in the world, heck, you can find them in bushes.  There are a total of 5 major dungeons, in the form of Temples, being called so for the first time in the series of American translations.  Depth wise, not very much was available, so I give depth a 6/10.Story        [ 8 / 10 ]The story to Ocarina of Time was quite unique for it's time, and the Time Travel mechanic allowed for a lot of possibilities such as the Song of Storms paradox, and the Spirit Temple's split dungeons.    Certain things you do in the past can affect things that happen in the future, but in the long run, they don't do anything really substantial, and don't affect the end result of the game in the long run, the game gives the illusion of free choice, but truly it is a very linear game, that can't be tempered with very much.   However, the overarching plot is still quite incredible nevertheless, and if you are planning on giving Ocarina a whirl, definitely give this one some excitement.  Story gets an 8/10 from me, since by today's standards, it is nothing special.Addictiveness     [ 8 / 10 ]This game is decent in the category of addictiveness, but nothing special, it's just as addictive as any RPG from it's time, and I dislike some aspects of it, such as certain mini-games.   I feel like this game is trying to be something bigger than it actually is sometimes, which takes away from the all around addictiveness of the game, but this might be a personal nitpick of mine.  Besides that, some aspects of the game truly captivated me through every time I played the game, while others slowly wared off on me, and became kind of stale.   This doesn't necessarily mean I'm giving it a bad score, I'm actually ranking it pretty high, I'm giving it an 8/10 in fact.Sound    [ 10 / 10 ]Gotta hand it to my homeboy Koji Kondo, I have cried listening to the title theme, I have hummed so many songs composed for this game, such as the Water Temple theme, and the Sheik theme, I could go on forever about how much I LOVE this game's soundtrack, but I'd prefer if you'd check it out yourself, and see what you think, as I could never do this game's soundtrack justice, 10/10 for sure, all the way.  Art, pure art.Graphics    [ 3 / 10 ]Graphically, Ocarina was a tragedy, I couldn't stand how ugly certain things looked, and while I do admit, it has some redeeming factors to it, there isn't much.   The graphics make the world look extremely flat, and Super Mario 64 had the opposite effect for me, personally, this game is my childhood treasure, but no-where inside me can I lie and say that I liked this game's graphics.   I guess Gerudo Valley had some nice graphics, but nothing substantial.  Sorry Nintendo, 3/10, you didn't hit it on that one.  They definitely redeemed the graphics in the 3DS remake though.Overall     [ 8.9 / 10 ]I guess this game is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, next to Megaman 2, which I may review in the future, I have a soft spot for it, and it's games of art that touch the soul, look at how beautiful some environments are, even if the graphics ruin them sometimes.  I have so many fond memories of this game. Playing Jabu-Jabu's belly, having help from my Cousin with beating certain parts, like a team, until finally making it to the end.   I remember being terrified of the Shadow Temple, and then finally finishing it.   In the end, I adore it and I definitely think it's a legendary game, just not perfect.  All in All, 8.9/10.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time   chaoticsonic
                           Hi and welcome to Chaoticsonic's review of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of TimeStory: In a deep forest lives a young boy (just 9) who when the Great Deku Tree summons him sends him on a incredible journey of puzzles, hordes of enemies, and even time travel!Graphics: While it hasn't aged the greatest over the years for the N64 it looks GREAT. the models of the Bosses and Link are animated greatly.Addictiveness: VERY addictive, when I first played this game I couldn't stop playing.Depth: has many nice little secrets, by just looking around and exploring will most of the time reward you with either Heart Pieces, Rubies, or Gold Skulltula's.Difficulty: has a fair difficulty, starts easy and becomes a fair challenge (except Water Temple). The controls are very easy to understand and smooth.Sound: Sound is enjoyable for me, the music still holds up well and sound effects are nice especially when you attack.Overall: an AWSOME game to enjoy for years to come.
