Reviews from

in the past


Third GOTM finished for April 2024. Does it show its age as an early 3D game from the 90's going back to it now? Absolutely. Is it still one of the most incredible, influential games ever made? Absolutely. The Ship of Harkinian port made this one feel like I remember playing it as a kid, with the improvements really heightening my experience revisiting this one. Hard to say much about arguably one of the most talked about games to ever exist, but I had an absolute blast revisiting my childhood in the world of Hyrule!

El juego de mi vida, si amo la música y las bandas sonoras es gracias a ocarina of time

Without the death of the hero of time I wouldn't have the hero of wind...thanks for that!

Some of my fondest memories of playing on the N64 consist of replaying the Deku Tree with my brother cuz we couldn't wrap our heads around how to actually make progress


Comment départager les zelda, je ne sais quoi éxprimer si ce n'est de la nostalgie face à ce chef doeuvre du jeu vidéo. A faire au plus vite !!!!!

lav lav laaav so good and cute hero of time my beloved son

4/10
Might be old but doesn’t mean it can’t be good just look at Metal Gear Solid 2
It got so boring after a while that I had zero motive to keep playing


I'm a millennial who never played this game as a kid. All my friends did, I know it by reputation, I know all the music. But I don't have any nostalgia for actually playing the game.

I struggle to have fun with this. Honestly I struggle with zelda games for some reason. I've beaten Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild and Phantom Hourglass and I've played and abandoned this, Link to the Past and Link's Awakening. I admire so much about these games but I do not find them fun to play.

I've tried to play this game in a way that is accurate to what it would've been like to play it when it came out and I was 9. That is to say: not look anything up online. If I get stuck I can ask a friend (or my 10 year old nephew who's playing it). And, look, I'm not having a good time! Sorry. I really really wish I liked it.

Ocarina of Time is one of the most famous games of all time. Sure the graphics and gameplay haven't aged perfectly and there are a few sections with bad level design but those aren't enough to hurt this game's legacy. The story is great, the music is memorable, the time travel mechanic is fun, the transition from 2D to 3D worked well, and overall this is a perfect Zelda game. With the 3DS remake all the flaws were fixed so this game can be experienced in all its glory. I kind of wanted to hate this game before I played it but it deserves all the praise it's recieved.

"O melhor jogo de todos os tempos" apesar de não ser meu Zelda favorito, tenho que admitir que merece bastante tal título. É um ótimo jogo.

Highest rated game of all time for a reason. Still holds up today. Very solid adventure game with great dungeons and exploration. Running around Hyrule Field can get exhausting, but you can get a horse as soon as you finish the first three dungeons. The story isn't intrusive and you can ignore it if you want. A must play for any adventure game enjoyer.

its good...and so important you know for the gaming history...BUT the mechanics are horrible honestly,aged very poorly. and it punishes you for dying so bad,save system is horrible and some puzzles are confusing

Se nota que es una obra maestra, una historia tanto encantadora como melancólica, todos los templos son increibles, todos los quest son asombrosos, se nota mucho los años pero realmente esta bastante bien todo, me alegra alfin haber jugado esta obra maestra

To jogando no nintendo switch, mas é bem divertido. Preciso terminar, então deixo a avaliação desse jeito

I can see why people call this the greatest game of all time. It must have been such an experience to play this back when it came out.

There are so many good things to say about this game that I will get my issues out of the way. First off, and my main problem, some dungeons were a little boring at times. The main examples I think of are the bottom of the well, Jabu-Jabu, and certain parts of the Water Temple. The Water Temple was especially unfortunate as I wanted to love it. It provides a challenging dungeon that would be better if you moved faster underwater. The issue with the temple is that it takes so long to beat due to how slow you move. Some other minor things were that the overworld was a little barren, which is fine, I wasn't expecting a big sprawling open world, but it took a good chunk of time to traverse it. It gets better later on as you gain warping songs, but sometimes you still have to walk (or side-hop) your way through it. Another issue I had, was that some of the bosses were a bit on the easier side, I would have liked a bit more of a challenge but I still loved the designs and fighting the bosses.

Now, to talk positives. There is so much this game does right even with things that I don't think are as good. The bosses are designed wonderfully with my favorites being the final Ganon/Ganondorf fight, the Iron Knuckle mini-bosses, Dark Link, and Morpha from the Water Temple. I also liked Bongo-Bongo and Twinrova. The enemies are a lot of fun too and I enjoy fighting most of them (except for Keese, fuck those bats). I love the music in the game. Rarely will a game have so many tracks with staying power, especially a 25+-year-old game. My favorite song in the game is Lost Woods with the title theme and Goron City as some other fantastic ones. I love the feel of the game. It can be cheerful and happy but easily switches to creepy and atmospheric. I like the characters, even though the story and characters aren't really the main focus, they have personalities and interesting moments like how Darunia starts dancing when you play Saria's Song for him. It's not much but it's fun character moments.

The most important piece of the game though is the dungeons. I may have put Water Temple in my negatives but I still believe it has fantastic parts like the other dungeons (with the Dark Link fight and Morpha fight being the standouts). My favorites are Gannons Castle for combining all the temples into one showdown, Forest Temple for its creepy atmosphere, and Spirit Temple for its engaging puzzles and combat. Most temples are pretty fantastic because Shadow and Fire Temple are great too. The child section dungeons and the mini-dungeons aren't as good, but they serve their purpose of tutorials/holding key items and I would still call them good (except for Jabu-Jabu).

Overall, this is one of the greatest games ever made and it deserves the adoration it gets.

meu jogo favorito de todos os tempos.

The third entry in my “beating every The Legend of Zelda” journey! After falling in love with the series with Wind Waker and getting annoyed with old game mechanics in the original NES game, it was time to give a go to the influential “goat status” Ocarina of Time.

Played it all the way through in about 3 months taking my time alongside my girlfriend who convinced me into this Zelda journey. It’s funny how she compares her experience with mine, she used to play these games as a kid so she took her time and knew all the secrets. She collected bottles with fairies, potions and made sure to grab all the items before proceeding. Meanwhile I’m just grinding all the way through with the least amount of hearts, potions and items as possible.

I mentioned how I got frustrated with badly aged mechanics in the original The Legend of Zelda, I have similar issues with this one too. It’s very much a spiritual successor to the first game in the saga, same essence but in 3D. That means it’s sort of open world, which is pretty cool for its time, but it also means it has a fair share of bullshit. By which I mean “how the fuck am I supposed to know what to do now” moments, something very frequent in old games - which CAN be nice sometimes since modern games tend to hold your hand a lot - but most of the time it’s annoying. For that reason I used walkthroughs at certain points, as I did for the first one, which honestly improves the experience.

That being said, I can see how massively influential this is and it’s also a pretty entertaining game by itself. It’s Wind Waker without the polish, it’s the OG NES game with the polish. The story is standard stuff but pretty heartwarming and wholesome, the open world has honestly a bunch of optional stuff to do, the visuals are great for the time and the gameplay is a dope blend of action and puzzles that set the standard for 3D adventure. Some dungeons are way better than others though (I’m looking at you weird inside of a stomach dungeon).

Looking forward to A Link to The Past now!

No lo considero tan buen juego como todo el mundo dice, Majora's Mask le da 2 mil paseos, igualmente un buen juego y la idea de tener 2 mundos paralelos en un juego de 64 es bastante buena

SIMPLESMENTE O MELHOR JOGO DE TODOS OS TEMPOS

11/10 MUSIC, GAMEPLAY, NOSTALGIA, STORY, WORLD. JUST PLAY THIS PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!!!

Top 4 Zelda for sure. Not my favorite one though, unlike many
