The water temple is good, actually.

This is it. The high they’ll chase for decades to come. The Zelda Formula, perfected. The quintessential 3D Zelda, on the first try.

There was a time where I was of the opinion that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was just Okay. It was Fine. It was Overrated. Just A Link to the Past with 3D models. That was also a time in my life when I was a moron. Ocarina of Time deserves every bit of praise it ever has or ever will get.

My thoughts on Ocarina of Time was originally a novel’s worth of paragraphs. I went on about how hyrule field’s connectivity to its surrounding towns and locales with only a loading screen separating them pushed the sense of adventure. I rambled about the appealing and memorable characters that lived in those towns and locales. I talked about just how much of a home run Ganondorf’s first on-screen appearance was. I spoke on the coolness of Sheik, and just how much of a character princess Zelda became because of that. There’s so much to like about Ocarina of Time. Too much for a “””review””” like this.

I have played this game at least 10 times, and I've 100%ed it two or three of those times. Those Big Poes can be a real pain in the ass.

You don’t need me to tell you how good it is, it speaks for itself and its voice is loud and clear.

It's got the best Hyrule Field theme too. it brings a tear to my eye every time.
