    Paper mario is a better deal than this. I've played both, no comparison

    Lamest video review EVER

    this game was a 10 for n64 times (1996), but for today's standards its only a 8.9 game

    What? Only a 1 minute review?? If microsoft would re-release halo on the Xbox 360, it would be 10 minute review!!!

    shadowpokemon12- No it shouldn't! If this game came out new now would you give it a ten? of course not. It's still a terrific game but like it or not its aged!

  • superfakerbros

    They should've given it the score it got on the N64,a 10/10!

  • shadowpokemon12

    why does gamespot give virtual console games a lower score than the origional release score? it should be the same score because it is the SAME EXACT GAME!!!

    this was a waste of bandwidth!

    I can not believe he would dare give Ocarina of Time less then a perfect 10!!! this game is flawless and just $10! He didn't even mention any problems, just that the graphics are old now!

    It still should be rated a perfect 10. I don't know what Jeff was thinking.

  • SlyVictim

    Posted Aug 23, 2009 2:31 pm PT

    8.9 is an outrage. It's like giving a Mozart piece less than perfection and reasoning 'because it's dated'.

  • GigaOutrage

    Posted Aug 6, 2009 6:53 pm PT

    Why the heck is this 8.9? It is the exact same thing as on the N64, which was released 10 years ago! Of course the graphics are outdated!

    I still have my N64 but I dont have the game ****!!!

  • shyguy1234

    Posted Jul 26, 2009 6:25 am PT

    why only 8.9? If they gave the original a 10, shouldnt they have given this one atleast a 9.5?

    wow, that was a pointless video

    best game ever invented

    If I wrote a review of this game using the same amount of words he spoke it would tell me that it is not long enough. This review was a waste of bandwidth.

    Very short, but true. This still stands as one of the best games ever made.

  • Sechu

    Posted Jun 26, 2009 11:29 am PT

    The review is dead short, however this game is still awesome.

    short review!

  • Mike4842003

    One of the greatest games ever made. Definitely worth the perfect 10 score it got when it first came out on the N64.

  • Anarchy231

    Posted May 27, 2009 6:04 pm PT

    ever since i sold my n64 i missed this game (plus others but thats another story). this one of the best things to come to the wii!

  • jmalo1

    Possobly THEEE greatest game of all time

  • dev8stator_Ic9

    Posted Apr 5, 2009 5:51 pm PT

    It deserves a 9.5 at the very least, though.

    God bless the legend of zelda THE OCARINA OF TIME!

    Pretty brief, but I guess there's not much you can say about it that hasn't already been said.

  • Serentor

    Posted Mar 7, 2009 11:41 am PT

    sorry, but there wont be a better zelda in the making then this here. A remake would most definitly land some mega hits, thats for sure. Twilight princess came very close, i admit. But it still hasnt knocked off the king, of the hyrule throne XD Besides putting this game on VC they should also release it on the ds, it would make a huge success, ds would be perfect, since it still has the 64 graphics and even better. Hoping for the best XD

  • mAD_ADaption

    Someone should tell all the kiddies to stop playing Wiisports and go buy this on VC.

    I love virtual console it lets me play old games I loved or never played on my new TV without looking bad. Ocarina of time and Legend of Zelda both run in a 16:9 aspect ratio and the game is only $10 I'd pay $40 for this. If you have a Wii and the internet BUY this game!
