Default The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Review

The Legend Of Zelda is a game that almost comes hand & foot with the Nintendo title. Particularly the Ocarina Of Time. The original Zelda games were huge! But this game marked the 3D era of the Zelda franchise.

Ocarina Of Time (OOT) was released in 1998. Most know the plot; Link, the hero of all Zelda games, sets out to stop the evil Ganondorf from stealing the Triforce, which basically grants wishes to whoever obtains it.

Koji Kondo, the music director for all previous Zelda games, took charge of music in this game. The official soundtrack comes complete with a whopping 82 tracks. The 3D graphics were praised for being top quality, at the time.

This game was the 134th best selling game of all time, at the time of its release. TTO is still, to this day, one of the most loved Nintendo games of all time.

Re-released of the game contained some changes. Some minor, such as Ganondorf's blood changing from red to green, glitch repairs, & the Islamic Chant in the Fire Temple was removed.

I give this game a perfect 10 of 10.
If you haven't played this, you're a shame to gamers everywhere!
If you do find it, get it. Ports to GameCube & Nintendo 3DS are available, but I prefer the original Nintendo 64.

Too be honest I would have given the story a ten and originality a nine, but otherwise not bad.

It is perhaps lacking a bit in content.

My fault, that's what I meant. I'll correct that. [I'm not a huge portable device player.]

I also re-considered my ratings for this game. All comments above this one were posted BEFORE I changed the original review.

No, you told me the game was re-released on the 3DS, not the DSi like I had originally put...I re-considered my ratings, I didn't just put what the audience wanted. I raised things & lowered others.
