Best Zelda game of all time for people who are blinded by nostalgia, this game is slammed in every way by Majora’s Mask. I acknowledge the influence and the technological wonder that it is but this game is a series of fetch quests across an “open world” which consists of holding the stick forward for five minutes across an empty hyrule field. Great for it’s time, ambition of a “big game” did not age well.
I played this on the GameCube back in the day, but I guess this app forgot that version exists.
Like Mario 64, I can appreciate all the crawling Ocarina did (it’s definitely aged a bit better), but on top of just feeling very clunky, the 3D nature of the game is practically an illusion. The way the game goes about progression makes it feel like you’re playing on a leash.
However, I do love the “cinematic” feel this game pulls off, especially given the limitations of the time, looking the way it does. The build up to and fight with the final boss in particular feel appropriately tense and climactic in a way that Mario 64’s Bowser just didn’t.

An absolute masterpiece.
I grew up with the game and coming back to it as an adult and completing it was an incredible experience. One of my favorite games of all time. The atmosphere that was created with such limited 3d technology is mystifying. The fact that this was the first 3d Zelda game makes everything even more impressive.
I replayed the game through Ship of Harkinian on a modded Switch. I highly recommend it for small tweaks it adds to make the experience even better.
