The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

released on Nov 21, 1998

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth main installment of The Legend of Zelda series and the first to be released for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the most highly anticipated games of its age, and is listed among the greatest video games ever created by numerous websites and magazines. The gameplay of Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for its time, it has arguably made more of an impact on later games in the series than any of its predecessors even though they had the same cores of exploration, dungeons, puzzles and item usage. Among the gameplay mechanics, one of the most noteworthy is the time-traveling system. The game begins with the player controlling the child Link, but later on an adult Link becomes a playable character as well and each of them has certain unique abilities. Ocarina of Time also introduces the use of music to solve puzzles: as new songs are learned, they can be used to solve puzzles, gain access to new areas and warp to different locations. Dungeon exploration is somewhat more puzzle-oriented than in earlier games but they are not too complex.

I've played this one way too much. It's got problems that one cas easily see contemporarily, but for its time, it's a perfect game. True classic and pioneer in third person adventure genre.

Just a really good adventure game, way ahead of it's time. Some of the solutions to puzzles were a little too strict, and of course it has some old game jank, but overall it was a great experience.

wowow realmente no recordaba el poder que tiene esta historia, fuera de lo fascinantemente bien diseñado que está como videojuego y lo legendario e histórico que es, en serio veo un valor muy muy grande en su narrativa, NETA, ME SU1CID4RÉ

Grand and simple. Absolutely archetypal.
