    The same great experience with a face lift.

    Visuals: 9 - The 3DS gave this game a big Graphical upgrade and it really shows. All the great and memorable locations and characters look a lot more clear and more detailed than before. The models seems to be the same ... Read Full Review

    A unique and unforgetable adventure with a master quest!

    Visuals: 8 - Knowing that this game was made in 1998, the graphics don't completely live up to today's standards. This rerelease on the Gamecube does make the game look better, but does not change that much. That being s... Read Full Review

    A unique and unforgetable adventure

    Visuals: 8 - Knowing that this game was made in 1998, the graphics don't completely live up to today's standards. That being said though, every NPC and monster looks unique and the animations for them, while not always g... Read Full Review

    It's called "Legend" for a reason.

    If I didn't care about these reviews (and if GameSpot didn't have a minimum word count), this would probably be one of my quickest reviews yet. It would most likely just say, "'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' is a ... Read Full Review

    Timeless Classic

    Back when Ocarina of Time came out on the Nintendo 64, I was able to play through it and I really enjoyed it. Back then, I wasn't particularly good at videogames and I remember I had to use a strategy guide in order to c... Read Full Review

    Proper review I'd argue : )

    Do it for the History

    This game is old. 22 years at the time of this "review". That's like 40 years in gaming. I wasn't able to play the original TLOZ: Ocarina of Time, as I only had hand-held gaming devices. I mostly enjoyed TLOZ via the top... Read Full Review

    Revolutionary game.

    Ocarina of Time paved the way for virtually all adventure, puzzle, exploration, dungeon crawling, story telling, target real time combat games that followed. To this day, many games still borrow these gameplay aspects fr... Read Full Review

    A pinnacle of good game design.

    The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time is considered to be the best video game of all time. In my opinion it isn't really but it's up there. (Cause it's not a platformer) But here we start the review. STORYYou are young Lin... Read Full Review

    The best Zelda game IMHO

    Yea, I know I'm not the best at titles, but this is how I honestly feel about this game. Ocarina of Time to me was just an amazing game. I have yet to see a Zelda game match this one in terms of an epic adventure, conten... Read Full Review
