Nintendo 64 Critic Reviews

10 / 10 / 10 / 10 - platinum [first ever perfect score]

The biggest, most heartpounding and awe-inspiring quest of all. Oh yes, Zelda 64 does indeed own your soul.

Nothing but pure 100% fun, challenging, and lengthy.

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.

[Review Score = 110] What's significant about this convergence of audio, graphics and gameplay is that you are COMPLETELY IMMERSED in Zelda's world. Why? Because everything is meticulously thought out. Each character and event plays a role in a storyline that sprawls like a J.R. Tolkien masterpiece...It's certainly the game of the decade.

A game that can't be called anything other than flawless...This is the masterpiece that people will still be talking about ten years down the road.

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.

This is, without a doubt, one of the all-time greatest games made. 50 years from now people will still be playing and enjoying this game... thoroughly.

This Zelda adventure will undoubtedly withstand the test of time and take its place as one of the best games to ever grace a home system.

My favorite game of all Time. It is the perfect example of a perfect and polished game. Every aspect of the game is virtually flawless.
