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.

Having just recently replayed this in anticipation of the Remake. It still holds up as a Masterpiece. 10/10 no notes.

Jogo atemporal, história incrível até hoje um dos jogos que mudou a indústria de aventura em 3d, trilha sonora usada e conhecida até hoje, puzzles complexos e muito prazerosos de se completar, ajudou a avançar os mundo abertos que inclusive dois irmãos da rockstar já citaram como se alguém falar que não pegou nada de ocarina of time está mentindo, viagem no tempo com mudanças no diálogo como estruturas até mesmo missões e paradoxos no tempo.

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.

This is a very good game, definitely play it because it is a piece of video game history. That being said, ignore the old heads calling it the goat. It has been surpassed by a bunch of games these days.

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.
