This was a good game. It was. If you look at it by itself, not expecting anything, it's a fine game. However, I'm something of a classic gamer, and I suppose I expected to get the Super NES version, but better. I found myself horribly disappointed by this 3-D (well, duh) thing. I suppose it is much like the Super Nes version, just 3-D . . . and I just didn't like it. If you don't like the world of 3-D gaming, you probably won't like this one. But, in the interests of being true to the Zelda series, try out a friend's. You may like it after all.
Number One Video Game of All Time.

I love me basket ball games and Grand Theft Auto. And it is fun to play games with your friends and all but none of them has this Masterpiece. You have to really know how to make a game to make a game like this one. Although it is a very old game it still has most of the other games by the balls. The only problem is the graphics but this game was made in 1998. So you can't on my boy Link for that. This game has a very well thought story line although it does have that save the princess kind of story line to it. But it is really good game with Link starting as a child and, well I'm not going to tell all of it to the people that still haven't played it yet. This is a very fun game to play if you don't use a stupid guide book. You can still beat it if you really sit down think. That makes it fun, it is a very long game too, although you don't have much to do after you beat it. And it is not a two player game, And no internet thing. I just don't think no game has this one. That is why I picked The Legend of Zelda Ocrina of Time as number one, of the best games ever.
Good back then

This is still a great game to own, especialy if you missed it, but the graphics are dated. If you have a GameCube, find a way to get it on there, and be happy you did.
Greatest game on N64.

I'm not really a fan of N64. I've always been more of a Playstation one fanatic, but Zelda is undoubtedly the best game that I have ever played. If you think that Final Fantasy is good, then Zelda will make all of the installments in final fantasy look like junk. There's only a couple of games on the nintendo N64 console that of which I liked, and that was Gauntlet Legends, Super Mario, and Donkey Kong. But this game beats them all by a longshot.
Then why did I give this game four stars instead of five? The reason is because of the...problems listed below.
1. This game is HARD. I don't mean hard as in "Challenging" I'm talkin' about the whole you-possibly-will-never-ever-complete-the-game-without-a-strategy-guide hard. The type of frustration which can rack your nerves big time.
2. There are a couple of glitches in the game. Example: I dare you to cut a sign with your sword. Then play Zeldas lullaby with your ocerina of time. The piece of sign which you had just sliced and diced will float. That's just one of the glitches.
3. A little confusing, as far as the story goes. It's better to play the game twice and see if you still understand it.
4. Replay value isn't very high. Once you complete it, that's it. It's so hard that I wouldn't ever want to go through the same frustration again, as to the fact that it was very difficult, even if you do know what you're doing.
Okay, those were the bads. Here are the goods.
1. The graphics are outstanding. Wow. The whole world of Termina reminds me of middle earth, only a lot less dark and ten times more exotic.
2. Once you beat the game, you feel satisfied with yourself. Sure, this game is a little short, but it will still take you a long time to beat it, no matter how experienced you are with gaming.
3. The plot is good and twists a lot. I know that I said it was kind of confusing, and it kind of is, but it's still fun and the things that of which I did understood surprised me a lot.
It's sort of a mystery.
4. Fluint and absolutely excellent cut and FMW sequences. It's true. Like I said above, the graphics are wonderful. And plus, exploring a small portion of Termina, which you do through out the game, is an experience that you don't wanna miss.
5. The bad guys are challenging, but not so challenging that you'll be ripping your hair out. Once you beat them, you feel satisfied.
6. Highly addictive gameplay and plus you won't stop until you beat the game.
But there's one major, and I mean MAJOR problem with this game. This game is so addictiive that you might forget about everything else in life. Remember your family? You won't when you get this game, since you'l be wanting to play this game even more. A Anyways, get the game.

do u want a fun game? if so then Buy Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! this has so many challenges and puzzles u'll wish u were at school where the tests are easy(actually no one wants to go to school unless they're derranged or something). If u have a choice between this game and Majora's Mask, buy this because it is alot more fun. Link is back with new enemies, friends, and oh yes the fat gorons that want to hug u! buy this game

Ocarina Of Time is a great game but it is to short. There are only about 9 levels, but each is challenging. The great thing about this game is turning into an adult. The game is more fun when you are an adult. Even though they arent that many levels the game still took me a long time to beat. The only down side of the game is some parts are really hard. The water temple in my opinion is the hardest level because you have to find too many keys. Some parts in the shadow temple are hard too. Overall it is a great game and when you beat it you will want to start the whole game over and beat it again.
A new classic

Well,this game rocks! It is a little TOO easy, and that is the downfall in this game. It is hard if yuo've played it for the first time you play it,than it is very easy. It's the usaul, Ganon trying to take over Hyrule,and kidnapping Zelda in the process. The cool thing about this game is that there is both an adult Link ,and a Kid Link! SO, if yuo ehjoy The other Zelda Games than get it,but if you hated it,you shouldn't even read this! Anywayz,this is a great game,BUY IT!!!
Oh,By the Way, I gave it 4 stars becausee it is a little to easy1

I've never played any of the RPG's or past Zelda games. I'm an old Dungeon & Dragons player with the 20 sided dice and so forth. But I like Zelda. I won't go as far as other to say it's the best game ever invented and so forth, but it was definitely worth the money invested. Maybe I'm slow with these games, but I spent about 25 cent an hour.
If I could make one suggestion, it would be to have multiple players. I would like to go on an adventure either alone or with other players. I don't know how easily this could be done, but if I had that choice, Zelda may truly be the best game ever!

I remember when my parents bought this game for my older brother in the 90's. It brings back so many memories and my brother and I still play it even though we beat it many times. My brother would play it every day trying to beat every obstacle and this game is truly fun, when my brother let me play the game I was hooked, I did need some of his help on many things but that didn't bother me from having fun. I enjoyed this game and anybody will. I usually don't like these kind of games but this game is amazing and I love to play it. Nintendo 64 truly does bring back memories and their games are fun too.
This is the best game that i have ever played...

I have played many many many video games in my life, and this game is literally the best game that I have ever played in my life. It's nice and long (like all the other Zelda games) It has a perfect level of difficulty, there are so many different weapons in the game, there are so many memorable dungeons and fields in the game, well, I could go on forever. I wish I could give this game a higher score than the measly 5-star rating Amazon.com forces me to give but alas, i cannot. If you own a Nintendo 64, BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW! If you don't own an N64, you can still buy it for gamecube, it's the same exact game. I own it for both N64 and Gamecube. If you like this game, then buy the sequel too! It's called Majora's mask. I'm telling you, you will definetly not regret buying this game if you are a die-hard Zelda fan... Or even if you are not a die-hard Zelda fan. Although I don't know who would be reading a review of a game that was made in nineteen ninety-something, in 2007... IF YOU ARE READING THIS, BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW, AND IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE MISSING OUT!! Everything about this game is perfect!... That is all.
