Personaly I love fishing on Zelda the ocarina of time. It's a perfect thing to do if your stuck on something. Here's a little hint for you: If your an adult,the fish will be bigger.[duh]. Now here's the big thing. Go to the fishing pond around Lake Hylia at night. Look around the pond and cast into the sweet spot.[that's around the log],and wiggle the line. I did this and caught a fish as big as me.[link not me in real life]. If your just starting as an adult you've got two choices. Work your way through the temples to restore the water, or plant a magic bean when your a kid and ride the hover leaf after becoming an adult.

It's Amazingly COOL.

I Like Zelda:the ocarina of time. When your kid Link[though you can use any name you want]the game's pretty easy,but when your an adult,better watch your back,cause it's like, 10 times harder.In the temple levels I'm stummped. I mean, I'll get like to halfway through,and I'll start going in circles.

Absolutely brilliant.

This game is the best game I've ever played -- hands down. It still beats out the beautiful graphics of the Xbox, the addictive PS2 games, and the fun and engaging GameCube games. Heck, it beats out all other games on all other consoles, as far as I'm concerned. Many people hail Final Fantasy as the best RPG games either, but I disagree. Nintendo touched pure magic with Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Ocarina of the Time is the sort of game that pulls at your heartstrings. The graphics are enchanting and the music is of the best sort I've ever experienced in a video game. The world of Hyrule itself is amazing and diverse. From the desert canyon of female thieves to the rolling plains struck gold in the sunset to the enchanting world of ice, you will be drawn into this amazing land.

Ganon is one of the few video game villains that I can safely say is 'cool'. He's kick-ass, old school, and gives a decent challenge.

The controls are excellent. Silent Hill and Final Fantasy seemed suddenly awkward and cumbersome when I took them up again after finishing OOT. Maybe that's just the difference between N64 and PS2, but hey...

Perhaps the best part of this game, other than the adventure, is that it really /draws you in/. It does what every video game tries to do, and it does it brilliantly -- you care for those characters and you just can't seem to put the controller down. When you actually finish the game, you will probably sigh with accomplishment and awe. I know I'm a massive dork, but that's what I did.

The storyline is classic but beautiful. The graphics are awesome, especially for N64. The villains are diverse and I actually found them interesting. All of the characters, especially Link's childhood friend and his fairy, Navi, are likable and intriquing. Face it-- you just can't beat the 'Save the Princess' game style. OOT is a beautiful, brilliant classic and it will be for years to come.

WOW this is the best game of all time!!!!!!

this game crushes every other game ever made. the story really draws you into the game so much you feel like you are part of it. the short movies are always great and the temples are sometimes confusing but fun at the same time. the world is big and you are always finding new characters and lands as you play the game. thier are plenty of weapons you get in this game like the master sword, fairy bow, fire arrows and plenty of others. if you do not like RPG the i would say to give this game a try anyways because it may change your mind. i have the 2 sequals (majoras mask and the wind waker) but this still tops them all. if you do not have this game go out and buy it!!!

The greatest game of all time

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is a classic. It should be played by every Nintendo fan and fans who are not big on Nintendo. The Zelda series is infact a big popular series but this one defys all of them. Ocarina of Time is a stand alone Zelda classic. It is not only the best Zelda game but it is possibly the greatest game ever created on a console. The story line is oh so brilliant and the graphics(even for todays standard) are unbelievable. Anyone who owns a Nintendo 64 needs this game. This game is pretty old and pretty cheap(I lost my game so I baught one for 5 bucks at Gamestop)so it won't be hard to find. This game infact shows what the Nintendo 64 is capable of. The game is very well made as you play through a huge world...well not that huge.. And I will say this..(I may be exagerating this though) But the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has one of the best "boss battle finale" ending ever..Ubelievable..Graphics in this game a superb. There were parts in the game were I would just stand there and stare at the ocean, houses anything cause it looked so beautiful. I loved how they created the bosses especially the last one and it was amazing how realistic they made the horse look. Nintendo scores big with the graphics. The gameplay is magneficent. I loved how it was all made and done. I really can't get into this one, you'll just have to play this part for yourself....The sound is..My god...It's beautiful I even downloaded all the songs. I loved the song were your in the temple and you get the Mastersword cause they made that song really well. The music in the farm were Epona is was made extreamly well and was just BRILLIANT! As I've stated the story in this game is just plain good, though it obviously has the "save" themed plot as you all know and I won't really get into the plot since there is already like 500 reviews saying what the plot is about..Sure the game is old and outdated, I guess..But so what..The game is still one of the greatest games of all time. I'll put it in simple words for you, the game is flawless! The game has an amazing plot that will suck you in, the gameplay is fun and classic(as well as riding Epona the horse)and music is just plain beautiful, the enviroments and atmosphere of the game as just as incredible as the game itself is and as I stated before...Ocarina of Time is simply the greatest video game ever made(and if it's not possible then it has hands down the best video game ever made, no the best video game OF ALL TIME)....Get this game you will not regret it!

5 out of 5!!!!(if I could I would give it 100000 out of 5)

I'll make it short...I hope.

I'm not particular a fantasy lover, I never read Tolkien's Lord of the Ring, I hate the Lord of the ring-movies and was insulted by the numerous Oscars the film(s) received.
I despise the Star Wars movies, especially The Return of the Jedi, which has that peculiar fantasy-feel in it.
Blahdieblahblah.

Now, with games it's a different story, I don't know why, but I'm much more forgiving and willing to accept a world where fairies, gnomes and other creatures excist.
The Ocarina of time is one of few artistic highlights I encountered in my life...it's almost ridiculous when I think about what I've just wrote, what about literature, art and cinema?

This game moved me so much...am I a geek?...there's so much depth in this piece of ...art.
It isn't the story (alone), c'mon let's be honest, it's an average fantasy tale, if made into a movie I'd fall asleep after 10 minutes.
I think it's all the pieces put together: a beautiful crafted world, the progress when playing - from a child into a young man -, the challenges you'll face and overcome, the music that playes a big role in the game, the use of time: day and night, future and past etc. etc.
It grabs you and most important: it's interactive (duh) for it's a game, you're not watching a crap fantasy movie, but playing the hero all by yourself, when he looses, you loose etc.

I played a lot of games in my life, including many new(er) titles as Halo, GTA, Metroid Prime etc etc and I didn't yet played a game that matched the sheer brilliance of The Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina Of Time.
Best game ever (so far).

Really awesome and a lot of fun!

This is one of my favorite games from N64 because it is so cool! I really love this game because I can't stop playing it! My favorite part of the game is when Zelda rides on his horse through fire. I think that would be really scary too. I really love this game because it is so awesome and it's a lot of fun when you play with your friends or by yourself. I love Zelda!

I love this game because it is a lot of fun!

One of the few N64 games you must own!

For all those of you that have followed the lineage of Zelda from its early days on the classic 8-bit system, and onward to its SNES days with "A Link to the Past" (great game), and loved every second of it, then you have to buy this game! For those of you that have never played any other Zelda game, what are you waiting for? Now is a great time to start.

Ocarina of Time is amazing. All the elements of classic Zelda are there - dozens of powerful items and weapons, lots of secrets to find, at least 10 new 3D-rendered challenging dungeons, plenty of secrets and side-games, and something that all the other Zelda's never had: a truly great story!

If you enjoyed "A Link to the Past" you will most certainly like this game as well. The story of Ocarina of Time involves going back and forth in time, between a happy peaceful Hyrule, and a dark evil one, much like ALTTP; but don't think this is a rip-off on its predecessor. The complex dungeons, challenging bosses, and deepening story lines will blow you away. The 3D element of the game also adds so much more that was never possible before. Even the music is catchy and well orchestrated. (I actually downloaded the mp3 soundtrack online!)

The gameplay is a little tough to get used to - afterall, you've never played Zelda in 3D before - so you actually have to consider things sneaking up behind you, and flying overhead! But once you get used to the controls and learn to use the "Z-Targeting" feature (using the trigger button will solve just about any control problem you may encounter), the gameplay gets easier.

The only thing that annoyed me was Navi, a little fairy that travels with Link throughout the game. She is always bugging you to give you painfully obvious information. I suppose she is a helpful guide for younger or more inexperienced players, but I found her annoying. But once you come to realize that Navi is an important aspect of the game's control, you will let it slide.

I would recommend this game to anyone who owns an N64 console, and even more so if you enjoyed SNES's "A Link to the Past." I can't wait to play the sequel when it comes out.

Spectacular Game

This is a game you could fall in love with. When I first played it (immediatly after it came out) I was so engrossed and enchanted with it that it was like the real world disappeared and there was just me and the game. This never happened with me with a video game before. The scenery is breathtaking and some of the music scores are beautiful, although I think the music in the first forest dungeon as an adult is absolutely creepy! The dungeons are puzzling at times but not too hard, and the bosses are challenging enough you may have to try them several times, but don't worry you can eventually beat them. The game has a built in save feature so you don't need a memory card and you can save anywhere in the game, don't have to wait for any specific save point, that is real nice.

You start out as a 10 year old boy and then after 3 levels you travel through time and become an adult. Hyrule has changed and you need to save the land. You go through many levels and bosses to finally get to Gannon, the ultimate evil here. He is an improvement on the previous Gannon of previous Zelda games(looked like a little pig then!) and fighting him is more challenging and engrossing in this new game. There are other little side adventures thoughout the game to entertain you when you want a break from dungeons and monsters. This is a high quality game fun for kids and adults.
