Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time (USA) ROM

As someone who has been playing Zelda games since the original was released on the NES, I feel like I know the series well. That said, The Ocarina of Time is a good game. It isn't the best game ever made, and it isn't even the best Zelda game.
Ocarina suffers from what I call "Final Fantasy VII Disorder". This is when a game in a series is the first that many people played. Since the series in general is well-made, people usually have fond memories of the game that introduced them to said series.
Ocarina has many great things going for it. The dungeons are vast, and boss battles amount to the sum of the skills you've been practicing throughout those dungeons. The game's simple mechanics work so well together that the game is more than the sum of its parts.
It does, however, suffer from the same thing that most games of this nature do. The camera gets in the way, box-pushing puzzles abound, etc.
The game is good, yes, but it isn't perfect. No game is. It is a fun diversion that will last you a few hours. Its just another example of over-hyping. If you like it, I recommend playing A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker.

This is without a doubt the best Legend of Zelda, and possibly the best game for the N64, ever made.
I had come from playing A Link to the Past before trying out The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and I was amazed.
The game play is amazing. You start out as Link as a child, and unlike RPG games, it is all action so it takes more than strategizing to make your way through this game. All the sword fights have to be done by the player, unlike the final fantasy series where you simply choose an attack from the menu.
All of the dungeons and towns in Zelda are unique, meaning that it's not the same town over and over again, only with a new name and a different color scheme ;) Each place is quite memorable with it's own set of characters and landmark distinctions. It was nice because they incorporated bits of the older Zelda games into this one, yet it was a totally new, refreshing story.
This game gets hard fast. It would seem almost impossible to get through some places without a strategy guide. So you might want to turn around and buy one the moment you get the game to save yourself hours of frustration stuck in a dungeon, at least to reference with on occasion. But don't let that turn you off, the game is absolutely amazing and blows all the other Zelda titles away!

I have played this game so many times, that I know everything that is said in the entire game, but I still can't stop playing it. Up until Twilight Princess, it was the best videogame ever made!!! If you have nothing to do, then download this game and play it right away. You'll be so hooked, that you won't stop until you beat it three times over.

Before you get yours hands on the 3DS remake, go back to where it all began with The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time on the N64. It was a stunning revolution in gaming excellence under story and gameplay. The graphics were beautifully integrated - a masterpiece in gaming history 101.
Play as Link the hero of Hyrule setting out on an adventure he was born to follow. Discover new locations and items. Investigate the darkest of underground temples. Advance through time and bring justice to the land. Your goal is to thwart the evil king Ganondorf.
This is a game that hasn't diminished it quality, only quantity - because we all keep coming back for more. Check it out here today!

If you've played any other RPG kind of game,this one will blow all of them out of the water. If you were to try this,even on the emulator,you wont ever be able to put it down. In my opinion, this was the best game I have ever played.
