Introduction and Story: |
Anybody
remember the nasty war between the Nintendo 64 and Playstation
in the late 1990's? Although the Sony Playstation was the clear winner,
Nintendo didn't give up without a good fight. On November 24, 1998 the
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was FINALLY released on the N64
(the
first 256 meg game for the N64 by the way)
and it proved to be one heck of a game. Ocarina
of Time won high praise and tons of Game of the Year awards but is it
still good today you ask? You better believe it is! If you are looking
for or a unique time traveling adventure, stellar fantasy based graphics,
and an lengthy journey across a absolutely huge 3D landscape then you
came to the right place. I know moving a popular 2D series to 3D can
be train wreck (Contra anyone?) but see why Zelda's jump was
a successful one. |
Controls and Game Play: |
Like
the other Zelda games of the past this is a brilliant action/adventure
title where you battle monsters and find secret items on your quest
to save the world. Unlike Zelda games of the past though everything
is completely 3D and Link has be careful what like the time of day it
is. You can only go to the castle during the day and at night there
are more monsters roaming the country side for example. The huge land
of Hyrule is so big now it can takes nearly hours to run across the
entire world (unless you can get a horse) which is amazing for a adventure
video game. |

The Bottomline: |
The Ocarina of Time is definitely a epic game with great graphics and sounds but there are still a few little things that bugged me. Some parts of the game are either just way too hard (like that damn Water Temple) or way too easy (too many areas of the game have either little to no enemies) plus there is little to do after the game is fully completed. Despite a few nick picks these are the only things that kept me from giving this game a perfect score of 100 here and the game still easily gets the five star. The game is so big and so interactive that it should take about a good month to finish everything. If you are searching for a long and engaging adventure Legend of Zelda 64 is a awesome choice in a sea of N64 junk out there (by the way every play a game made from Titus before?). |
