About The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Zelda was a big kid on the block long before there was 3D gaming, with four hit games for the NES, SNES, and DMG, the series was already a heavy hitter in the games industry, but in 1998 Miyamoto and Aonuma released what would be Nintendo’s heavy weight champion.

Zelda wasn’t the first Nintendo series to bridge the gap from 2D to 3D, but it did so with universal acclaim. The game stands with an invincible 99% on Metacritic, having received perfect score from IGN, Gamespot, and became the first game to receive 40/40 from Famitsu.

If you haven’t played this game you’re missing out on a cornerstone of gaming history. Even if you don’t enjoy 3D action adventure games with compasses and dungeon maps The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is worth playing for the historical value alone.
