The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the most awesome game. Sure its not a cute and happy game like pokemon, harvest moon, or kirby but it is really fun. It is pretty hard and i had to use a game guide to get through it. I havent beaten it yet, but im still working on it! Some of my favorite things about this game are riding the horse, the ocarina, all of the characters, towns, and being able to change from kid to an adult. It is pretty tough to find all the keys in the dungeons and to knwo what doors to use them on. Also the bosses are really hard to beat and it takes many tries to defeat them. When ever you turn into an adult after your sleep for 7 years alot of the characters have changed and some of the girls liek you, especially princess zora. The second one is not as fun because u r a deku shrub and you have to stop the moon from falling to the earth in 3 days....and u have to play this song to extend the time, and it gets sortof annoying. also you hardly ever get to be link and he is my favorite. But the legend of zelda ocarina of time is really fun and i you should buy it!!
THE BEST GAME EVER

This game is the best ever. It cannot be topped. I havent even finished it yet and I'm still so excited. This game is really cool with all the gadgets but after a while you get stuck. ...I'm stuck whenthe Shiek told me to go to Kakoriko village to learn a new skill. I'm still stuck ....
If you ever play this game never give up and try everything. Sometimes when you think you've completed the level, you still have to do another half of it. Sometimes when your stuck quit playing and think and you will probably find out how to get unstuck after a while. That's All. ...

Theres no words that can describe this game fully. IT TOTALLY ROCKS! Here are my thoughts:
Storyline: It has a stereotype storyline, but not awful by any means. The 11! dungeons(including the bottom of the well, ice cavern, and ganon's castle) were challenging and creative. Walking through a maze of doors like the Water Temple or having to move back and forth through time like in the Spirit Temple give this game a not-so-straightforward plot. I give it a 10 out of 5!
Movement: Controls for OoT were definitely appropriate for the need of the game. Z- targeting was ultimately the most helpful.
I give it a 5 out of 5.
Graphics: The graphics for this game were above average for the N64. Details were also awesome. Link actually has an earring!
The coloring kept me coming back for more.But,the characters' hands need spaces between the fingers and they need to actually talk. I give it a 5 out of 5 atleast for the effort.
Difficulty: Hard! Each dungeon has its own confusing solution and i constatly had to go back and forth between doors because i had gotten lost. The Water Temple is with out a doubt the hardest for me because of the different water levels. Having to collect 100 skulltulas and 36 heart pieces is hard especially if
u dont cheat. It gives u sumthing to work for after Ganon's been beaten. I give it a 10 out of 5.
Overall: Overall the game was simply awesome. My favorite detail is riding Epona(the horse for unaware minds)since im in luv with them! I thought fishing was also a nice touch. It is a must for any N64 owner. I would give it a 100 out of 5 if i could.
GREAT GAME!...

This is the best game I own, or seen.Now, I've been a gamer since I was 3, but this game pushed the others out of my mind. Lots of action and adventure, too. It's a little confusing, without a guide,(especialy the Water temple,) But over all, It's a great game.
BUY THIS GUIDE!...
Funnest game ever

The game Zelda ocarina of time is by far Nintendo 64's best game. Nintendo 64's graphics were not all that great, but playing Zelda had changed my outlook. The game takes a long time to beat and is worth every penny. For all those Zelda fans out there that follow the games and stories, I know you will enjoy this game. The story line follows the rest of the Zelda games; Gannon gets hold of the Triforce and uses a wish to bring Hyrule to a dark age. There are new characters and slightly different storyline, and unlike most Zelda games this one is 3d and much more fun to play. The graphics, music and character facial expression bring out Nintendo 64's true quality.
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

I have always loved Zelda from the minute I first Played it here just a few of the pros. about this game. 1 It won the award for 1998-1999 game of the year award. 2 It has incredible graphics and sound. 3 The levels can be scary such as the Shadow Temple.
4 Some sidequests are challenging or just plain easy.
5 Switcing from kid to adult is fun. 6 This game is just to fun.
If you want the PERFECTIO MAGNIFICO game buy this. Want that means I have no clue! My little sisters love Princess Zelda why I don't no. They are always having me go to Hyrule Castle to visit her. This game can be funny and scary just depending were you are my friend was having trouble on Jabu jabu's belly and after I helped him beat that he made it to the Shadow Temple but he's to scared to go inside. I never thought that the Shadow temple was scary just suprising. Beginners should buy the PRIMO strategy gudie book, this game is pretty fun but can be beaten.
I haven't gotten The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask yet but I hear it is fun too. But then again all Zelda games Rule!!
Zelda is awesome!

I remember when zelda was 2-d it stunk but now they made on the N64. Everybody owns that awesome 3-d Zelda game now. I got this in 2001 and I got my N64 in 2000. All the kids in the neighborhood made fun of me because I didn't have a Nintendo64. I said when I got I would beat it first and I did. I loved the Fire and the Spirit Temples. They are sweet! If you have been neglecting your N64 stick your PS2 in the closet for a while and play some classic N64 besides it was the ninety's big system. So when you get back to zelda do a little exploring maybe you will find somestuff like the Fairy's caves. I found all 6 powerups and my favorite is the Nayru's Love. I love the Gerudo's training ground there is all sorts of traps and items you can find. I have a 1998 Gamer book and ther is 8 pages about Zelda64.
Plus some pages about The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. But I agree with the game critics that Zelda64 is better. Oh by the way what ever happened to that idea for a third Zelda game on the N64. Zelda ocarina of time is 1998-1999 game champion. And I hope the true Legend of Zelda lives on in the Gamecube not that Cartoony Zelda game. We need real Zelda. Come on get out your N64 play some Zelda! If you don't have it buy it you will be very happy. And I agree with those other reveiws that it beats Final Fantasy X. Play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
ZELDA IS THE GAME I EVER PLAYED!

Out of my experience, this game is by far the best in the series. Its better than Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, and yes, even A Link to the Past, a fan favorite. The graphics are not amazing, but they work just fine, and at the time they were made, were quite high end. The story is original and fun. The quests are varied and entertaining, unlike the fetch quests you get in today's action rpgs. It has a good enough sound track, and some of the ocarina songs will be stuck in your head forever. My point is, go out and find this game now or your videogame experience will never be complete!
A Epic Masterpiece

(Note:This is the Gamecube Collectors Edition version)I remember ten years ago,seeing the commercial for this game.I always did wonder what it was like.After getting the collectors edition I immediately got started on it.The story focuses,as always,on Link.Link is a young boy living in the Kokiri Forest.One night he has a nightmare,and wakes to discover a fairy named Navi,who will help him through his journey.He is overjoyed but then discovers that the gaurdian of Kokiri Forest,the Great Deku Tree,is dying from a curse.The tree passes along a Spiritual Stone and recommends to see Princess Zelda.Link does so and Zelda tells him to get the other two spiritual stones so Link can get the Master Sword to stop Ganon,King of the Gerudos,from entering the Sacred Realm and stealing the Trifoce,a divine relic.Link achieves the other stones and the Ocarina of Time.Link draws the Sword and finds out he has been tricked by Ganon,who entered the Sacred Realm.Link awakens seven years later,and after discovering he is now an adult,meets Rauru the Sage of Light.According to Rauru,the only way to defeat Ganon is to awaken the Five Sages.That is where the true quest begins.Wow,what a story!Now,the graphics are not bad by today's standards.Neither are the dungeons.They are amazing.And also very complicated.(Please don't mention the Water Temple).Overall this game can be summed up by one word:Perfect.Buy the game,become the hero,and have the time of your life.
