After I played both Ocarina and Majora's Mask, with Majora being a more unique take on Zelda, I think Ocarina just comes together as a more cohesive whole unlike its successor. I didn't know about the time twist occurring midway through the game, which was a great surprise and good motivator to discover the world and its inhabitants again. The real highlight for me though were the dungeons, I really enjoyed solving all those elaborate puzzle boxes, especially the water temple making great use of 3D space. As a whole a remarkable game, if you keep in mind, that this was the first 3D Zelda.
