The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best game for the N64 yet. It involves a intricate storyline, dazzling graphics, and intense gameplay. You'll find this game the best one you'll ever have. A great stocking stuffer, this one will really please your kids. (if they have a N64) Move over, Mario 64, Zelda has come to claim it's throne as the Best Game of All Time.

great game!

With a great story line and possibly 100 hours of total gameplay, Zelda will surely keep you busy. Some cool highlights include day and night changes, fishing, time travel, horse riding, magic, and a variety of special moves. Start getting excited because the gaming event of the year is coming.

This is the by far the best game of all time

I really admire greatness. The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time is great. It's perfect. It's the best videogame ever created.

From the subtle, weathered beginning to the pinnacle of the adventure, I was in sheer awe of the magnitude of the game. The instantly playable 3D environment made for great gameplay: it was like playing Zelda III (an oldie but goodie) in lifelike 3D. I'd never felt so immersed in a game as I did in Zelda 64.

If anything, Zelda 64 is a mite depressing, at least for me: it's a constant reminder of greatness that most probably can't be achieved in my life time. Perfect in every way.

THE GREATEST GAME EVER CONCIEVED!!!!!!!

Shigeru Miyamoto created the Mario Bros., Metroid, and Legend of Zelda series for Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is by far his best ever. This is the first game to really use the power of the Nintendo64 "fun machine", with breathtaking graphics and unmatched gameplay. As the hero Link, you move through the ranks from inexperienced child to adult warrior, traveling to all of the beautifully-rendered areas of Hyrule. Gamers have waited years for this game, and now they can finally have it.

THE VERY BEST VIDEO GAME SERIES EVER MADE.

Excellent fun for everyone. The action and interaction is superb. The graphics are unbeatable. I've been waiting since Zelda and the Legend of Linc for this new adventure and was not disappointed. FYI I am the mom in this house and I have to wait my turn. It's tough. I reserved a copy and left work early to pick it up. We were not disappointed. I was pleased that they stayed faithful to the original format just made it better and better. Thanks nintendo it's going to be a lot of fun watching Linc grow up and share his adventures during the long winter ahead. It'll probably take me until spring to find Ganon but the trip will be fun.

"Game of the Century" lives up to the hype...and more

After hearing all the praise this game has garnered from around the world, by both casual gamers and highly respected publications, I was ready to be disappointed. No game could really be THAT good...could it? Well, after finally experiencing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for myself, I can truly say that it lives up to its title of Game of the Century. But even that designation seems shamefully superficial next to the purity and beauty of a game that is simply too good to be reviewed.

No review I've ever read could have prepared me for the transcendent experience of Zelda. This game makes me feel like a kid again. It exemplifies all the qualities that drew me into video games in the first place -- sure, it has all the awe-inspiring graphical innovation and flawless execution of the big-name games, but when it comes down to it, the only thing that really matters is F-U-N, and this is where Zelda truly shines.

The Zelda series has always focused on puzzle solving, and this incarnation of the game is no exception. Every puzzle seems so carefully and compassionately hand crafted, with such impeccable attention to detail, that one cannot help but become happy just by the act of playing it. Many people get irritated by these so-called puzzle video games, because the solution to the puzzle is frequently something obscure and counterintuitive, and the simple, common sense solutions don't work. Zelda is exactly the opposite. Go ahead and forget you're playing a video game. Go ahead and try something you would try in real life. It will work. Unlike games that have come before it, Zelda is not capricious: it does not on the one hand give the player this kind of unprecedented level of interaction with the game environment without at the same time making totally sure that the player understands how to implement the sort of real, common sense, intuitive solutions that human beings are likely to think of.

Since the game does focus on puzzles -- and they aren't easy, I would not recommend it for children under the age of six. By the same token, however, don't ever make the mistake of assuming this game is "kid's stuff." I don't think a game has ever had such broad appeal. In fact, you probably have to be an adult to appreciate how incredibly pure and cathartic an experience this game really is.

The bottom line? This game is so profoundly enjoyable that someone will probably make it illegal pretty soon. It actually made me cry due to excessive joy. I'm serious. If you fail to play this game, you will have missed out on a significant fraction of the all the happiness life has to offer. If you have ever gotten the tiniest bit of satisfaction out of a video game, it is your responsibility to buy this game.

The new game for N64 The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is going to be one of the best game that have been ever made. The graphics, gameplay are just too amazing to wonder. The way you can converse with the other characters in the game the sword fighting, the way you can ride a horse, dive off a cliff and even catch a fish with your bare hands. Your character Link is widely known through out the world and this is now a new chapter for his adventure in search for the Triforce Power
