The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Editorial Review
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time may be the greatest release-player video game ever made in any genre. It’s that excellent. Those new to Nintendo’s enormously well loved Zelda series will be glad to know this game stands completely on its own. Our hero, Link, starts the game as a young boy living in a magical forest village populated by elf-like children. But there is evil lurking in the world. Weird monsters are appearing, and the land is changing. It’s up to Link to learn why, defeat the monsters, and stop the evil at its fund.
The game world’s ever-changing environment looks like a fairy tale come to life. Majestic waterfalls, immense castles, and magical forests are a feast for the eyes and ears. Rivers flow, rain cascade, the sun and moon rise and set. There’s even an erupting volcano! Exploring this world is half the fun of the game. By the side of the way, you learn musical tunes that you can play on the flute-like Ocarina, a magical device that helps you teleport, alter the weather, even control time itself.
Character interaction is vital to gather clues. The fairy princesses, singing frogs, and dragons you’ll meet can be cute, humorous, or somewhat terrifying. Sprinkled liberally throughout the game are hundreds of secret treasures and enjoyable minigames (one of which, the fishing game, would nearly be worth buying by itself). Game controls are simple to learn. There’s even an elaborate fight training course built right into the game. Controlling the hero quickly becomes instinctive, and you can concentrate on reduction the world. To win the game, you’ll have to use not only Link’s sword, but your mind as well. This game’s challenging and inventive puzzles really make you reflect. In fact, to keep from getting stuck, it’s worth spending a few bucks on an official player’s guide. With The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Nintendo has come up with an all-consuming adventure title that will grant days of engrossing gameplay. –Eric Fredrickson
Pros:
- Best release-player video game
- Freedom to explore a rich, complex world
- Helpful fairy guide gives hints
- Charming, humorous, lighthearted, yet challenging
Cons:
- Some puzzles can be frustrating
- Only one saved game per player–don’t save when you’re stuck!
- Much more fun with Rumble Pack

Lets get real here. The game sucks pure and unadorned. It isn’t an adventure or RPG but a dull, frustrating puzzle game. Being an experienced gamer for many years I can honestly say this is one of the WORST investments I have ever made in a game. I have no thought where all the hype comes for this game as it has absolutely NO replay regard whatsoever, yet everyone gives it exact scores.
But of course you wont listen and you’ll go buy the game and you’ll be just as ticked off as I am. Then you’ll reflect to yourself “Man I even marked that guys review as not helpful”.
So go ahead, mark a NO for your vote and then regret it later!

All I can say is what a dissipate! I will admit the first Zeldas truly were excellent sports meeting but this one is just a bland, dull puzzle game that has no appeal to grown-up gamers whatsoever. I can remember just squeezing the hell out of my controller in frustration for paying 50+ bucks for this. I honestly would not pay 5 dollars for it if I could do it all over again.
For small kids who find entertainment in cutesy things like Barney and the Tele-Tubbys this would be a pretty decent game. But if you are an grown-up, experienced gamer used to traditional RPG’s like Final Fantasy and the like…stay away, stay very far away from this monstrosity. Don’t make the same mistake I did and shell out more than 3 dollars for something you are going to want to run over with your car. Of course if you aren’t ancient enough to guide yet, buy the game…I’m sure you might like it.
All I can say is that this is the resolution WORST game I have ever played and PLEASE ignore the voting which I undoubtedly know everyone is going to mark as unhelpful. Trust me it’s LAME LAME LAME.

… I bought the game for him and he waited long-sufferingly. But he was very disappointed when it arrived. It was for Nintendo 64, not game cube. When the web page came up, nowhere did it say Nintendo 64. Since we had typed in Ocarina of Time Game cube in the search box, we thought that it took us to a page where they were selling the game cube sports meeting. Well that shows that buying online is not always a excellent thought. Now we have a game we cannot use.

Seriously, this ranks up with some of the worst sports meeting I have ever played. It is a complete insult to anyone who respects the RPG genre as this is not anything more than a linear, cutesy, puzzle game. You run around playing a small harmonica by critical certain buttons in certain instructions and the rest of the time you are moving boxes around, jumping from platform to platform, and killing enemies (with an dreadful targeting system) that respawn as soon as you leave the room.
I can guarantee that about 95% of all the 4 and 5 star votes are coming from children under the age of 15 as this is the type of game that would appeal to them. But if you are an grown-up, more experienced gamer do yourself a favor and steer clear from this hideous example of a excellent title gone terrible.
If you’ll excuse me I am going to balance out my wobbly kitcken table with the cartridge.
