Zelda Rules...Again!
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is such a perfect game. When I heard that a new zelda sequel was coming out, I was afraid that it would have a hard time living up to the greatness of the other zelda games, but I was definitely proven wrong. First of all, the world which you explore is gorgeous. Ever felt like exploring a fairy-tale forest of elf-children? What about a cavern that lies behind a magical waterfall, or maybe a sunny medieval marketplace, or how about an adobe desert fortess, or even a simple peaceful mountain village? It's all in Zelda 64.The gameplay itself is awesome. Link is easy to control, and the 3-D motion of the game is great. The challenge level is perfect too. I played the game without a strategy guide, and I'll admit the infamous Water Temple took me seven days to beat, but the puzzles are respectably challenging and you feel great when you solve them. The bosses are also nicely challenging; it's rare to beat them on the first try...

Danger - it might consume you!
This is undoubtably the best game I have ever played. Everything everyone says above is true. Fantastic graphics, game-play, story, character development, mystery, suspense. You name it. I'm a computer graphics pro - I know a good thing when I see it.OK, someone has to say what the negatives are. I am a very busy 47 year old computer professional. I rarely, if ever, have more than a few minutes to play a video game any more these days. I got this game for my 12 year old daughter, but one day decided to try it out for myself.BANG! I was hooked within the hour. I had to finish the game. Over the next two months (yes, it is THAT DEEP), I spent hundreds of hours, well into the wee hours of the night, playing this game. I would spend 4 to 8 hours at a stretch. I pulled two all-nighters, not even realizing what time it was, till I noticed the sun coming up (haven't done that since I was in college). I was totally consumed and addicted to this game, and had to...

If You Have a N64, Get This Game!
Once again, Hyrule is being threatened by the forces of evil! As Link, the chosen hero you solve countless puzzels, and fight many, many, monsters!This game has about everything! Good graphics, great gameplay, and a wonderful story.Ganondorf, the evil in the game, needs to get the tree spiritual stones to open the Tempe of Time. He threatened the people who have them, but they didn't give him the stones. Link goes on quests to get the tree stones. Once he gets them and Zelda, the princess, gives him the Ocarina of Time, he opens the Temple of Time. But little does he know, Ganondorf followed him.Seven years later link wakes up and Ganondorf rules Hyrule. He spreaded five of the six medallions and had monsters gaurd them. You get the only medallion Ganondorf didn't have and go on a quest to find the others.This game is great and has a wonderful selection of weapons and other things. I highly recommend it and for anyone who has a Nintendo 64, get this game for your 64...

Product Description
The Legend of ZELDA- Ocarina of Time for NINTENDO 64
CLASSIC GAME!!! Top to learn more
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time may be the greatest single-player video game ever created in any genre. It's that good. Those new to Nintendo's enormously popular Zelda series will be glad to know this game stands completely on its own. Our hero, Link, starts the game as a young boy living in a magical forest village populated by elf-like children. But there is evil lurking in the world. Strange monsters are appearing, and the land is changing. It's up to Link to discover why, defeat the monsters, and stop the evil at its source.
The game world's ever-changing environment looks like a fairy tale come to life. Majestic waterfalls, towering castles, and magical forests are a feast for the eyes and ears. Rivers flow, rain falls, the sun and moon rise and set. There's even an erupting volcano! Exploring this world is half the fun of the game. Along the way, you learn musical tunes that you can play on the flute-like Ocarina, a magical device that helps you teleport, alter the weather, even control time itself.
Character interaction is important to gather clues. The fairy princesses, singing frogs, and dragons you'll meet can be cute, humorous, or somewhat terrifying. Sprinkled liberally throughout the game are hundreds of secret treasures and enjoyable minigames (one of which, the fishing game, would almost be worth buying by itself). Game controls are easy to learn. There's even an elaborate fight training course built right into the game. Controlling the hero quickly becomes instinctive, and you can concentrate on saving the world. To win the game, you'll have to use not only Link's sword, but your mind as well. This game's challenging and inventive puzzles really make you think. In fact, to keep from getting stuck, it's worth spending a few bucks on an official player's guide. With The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Nintendo has come up with an all-consuming adventure title that will provide days of engrossing gameplay. --Eric Fredrickson
Pros:
- Best single-player video game
- Freedom to explore a rich, complex world
- Helpful fairy guide gives hints
- Charming, humorous, lighthearted, yet challenging
- Some puzzles can be frustrating
- Only one saved game per player--don't save when you're stuck!
- Much more fun with Rumble Pack







Master Quest is a blast from the past...
A good book for getting you through the game... A bad one if you want to get everything.
