Release Date: November 21, 1998
Platform: N64
ESRB: E
The Legend Of Zelda first saw it's jump to 3D in this epic adventure. It won the Game Of The Year award in 1999 and saw it's own remake on the Nintendo 3ds in 2011. Ocarina Of Time stays stamped in our minds as one, or if not, THE best game of all time.
STORY: Link, an orphaned child who lives in kokiri forest, is chosen by the Deku tree to save the mythical land of Hyrule from the evil forces of the Gerudo king, Ganon!
GAMEPLAY: Ocarina Of Time has some of the best gameplay we have ever seen. Gameplay is simple, yet very complex. As you progress, you collect a variety of unique and interresting items, that come in handy later in the game. Battling becomes more exciting thanks to the lock-on targeting system. And dungeons are either simple, difficult, puzzling or exciting.
GRAPHICS: Ocarina's graphics demonstrate what the N64 is capable of doing. Even if now, the graphics are considered dull to the new games, when I was a kid, those graphics blew my mind, and they still do! I used to literally call it "The Real One" and not "Ocarina Of Time", really! And with the 3ds remake, the graphics look even better.
LENGTH: Ocarina Of Time is one of the franchise's longest games. (Besides "Twillight Princess".) It really depends on how good of a gamer you are. If you play constantly, it should last you 40 hours. But if you take your time, (Like Me) it could last you up to 6 months.
MUSIC: Ocarina's Soundtrack is my favourite of the Zelda series. it is unique. You could listen to it for hours. Created by the famous Nintendo composer Koji Kondo, it is by far his best work yet. Although, it was not orchestrated like "Skyward Sword", it still sounds amazing!
FINAL RATING: In the end, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time is a masterpiece. A game you must try before you die. And a piece of art that tells people: "This Is A Video Game".
