A slightly flawed masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

Featuring unparalleled 3D environments, a deep and involved quest, brilliant and intuitive play controls, and a well-developed cinematic quality that enhances rather than overwhelms the whole game experience, Miyamoto's latest soon-to-be-classic title deserves to be played by each and every person who might deign to consider themselves a fan of great games.

Realism is one of the major reasons this title is so amazing. After playing for a while it feels as though you have actually been to Hyrule.

El mejor juego de todos es uno de los mejores Zelda se que está sobrevalorado más bien todos los juegos de Zelda merecen un 100 pq todos tienen sus mecánicas e jugado de wind waker también botw y totk buenos juegos es el mejor porque tiene un gran extenso y vasto mundo y con Epona puedes investigar todo eso además de que todas las versiones incluso la de 3ds mejora los gráficos y eso lo hace mucho mejor, y pesar de que era 30 MB eso es todo y este es el mejor juego de ls historia

An epic adventure that is among the best N64 games. [Jan 2004, p.189]

Perfect. Epic. Unstoppable. Unbeatable. Irresistible. Sensational...The best videogame I have ever played. It is the crowning jewel of the industry. It is Nintendo's finest achievement.

Call us crazy, but when the final version of Zelda 64 arrived in the IGN64 offices, we stopped working, locked ourselves into a room with a big-screen TV and a surround system and played 17 hours straight. After only a few hours of sleep, we were back for more and we couldn't stop until we finished the game. Then, we started over again to find all the secrets.

When it comes to what people will now demand of a top videogame, Nintendo has moved the goalposts off the pitch, into a lorry, down the road, into the airport, onto a plane and halfway round the world to a different continent entirely.

Ocarina of Time is one of the most influential games in the series and contains so many iconic moments. However, it’s nowhere near the level of perfection that many fans hold it to and even for the time there are some pitfalls that make it annoying to get through

The game is simply overrated. The high ratings are only because people were blown away back then. There wasn't much else like it at the time. Sure, the music is great, and it laid some foundations, but the game itself is boring and dull. Its game design wouldn't hold up today, and you're often left not knowing what to do next. Frustrating moments and illogical puzzles. If there's ever a remake, a lot would need to be changed.

At a point in time I did enjoy this game however nowadays it's dated, has repetitive gameplay, and lackluster story. It does not hold up against the test of time unless you have nostalgia goggles on. I don't recommend unless you are a die hard zelda fan or wanting to complete games off of Nintendos catalog you'll have a better time with breathe of the wild.
