ffordsFeb 27, 200610this game is truly amazing its still the best game i have ever played, it made me sad when the game was coming to an end and things started to change like the market place and zelda himself.

DanA.Apr 11, 200610This game created the 3-d adventure gaming genre as we know it to day, with numerous new innovations. The best game i`ve ever played.
-
-
BenG.Apr 29, 200610Absolute perfection. This game takes the Zelda series flawlessly into 3D. 10, 15 years from now, this game will still be the best game ever made.

CynS.May 20, 200610Easily the best game every conceived by man kind, Zelda: Ocarina of Time simply outclassess every other game out there. No one and nothing has yet to come close.
-
-
JonathanG.May 26, 200610Easily the best adventure game ever. It has a great story and a huge world. I love this game even though is realy old. The sequel is fun but not as fun as this one.

SamF.Aug 27, 200610A pinnacle of gaming acheivement. It's funny to see the downvoters that 0 this, and how such spiteful attention from tasteless haters should just show you how awesome this game is. Such jealosy over nintendo's flawless victory? It's almost too good!

SeanS.Aug 9, 200610

-
RonK.Sep 10, 200610One of the best games ever made. Most of the downvoters are even too shameful to even show their names, and here purely to spite this game with their sheer jealously.
-
-
BryanS.Sep 15, 200610This is, hands down, the best game I have ever played in my life. From start to finish it can be called nothing short of a work of art.

1mmortal1tyNov 12, 200710Legend of Zelda OoT is the single greatest single player video gaming experience for the nintendo 64. Anyone who says it is boring is obviously not a serious gamer. The graphics were amazing for the 64, the music score was amazing. the story was riveting. The gameplay was fun although some of the puzzles were a bit repetitive and boring the rest of the game was extremely fun.
-
-
ChrisK.Nov 30, 200710Very few games are created that set the trend for a genre. Then there are games that set the trend for almost every type of game yet to come. Ocarina of Time is the pinnacle of gaming that set the trend for almost every function we take for granted in games today.
-
-
BenW.Oct 17, 200710This game is special. Its not like others and it is not boring! If you think it's boring try playing Halo 3! Thats a ton duller. This game is simple the best game ever released, its the game that makes games playing. It's as good now as it's always been. Absolutely stunning.
-
-
FraserOct 22, 200710The Greatest Game Ever TM. Nothing can compare to the depth, enjoyment, replay value, superb score etc etc. So ridiculously good it should be illegal and I still play it to this day. OOT=Much, much win.

Mr.EnigmaticDudeMar 20, 200710When the n64 released Zelda oot was one of its most anticipated games ever. It was so anticipated because the game play and the visuals looked absolutely amazing for its time. Still to this day Zelda oot is in my opinion better than Zelda tp.
-
-
ShawnK.Mar 25, 200710The game that upped the ante on videogames, Zelda has withstood the test of time as one of, if not the best, videogame ever.
-

JavierS.Aug 30, 200710This game is truly magical, the atmosphere, the story, the land, the hero, the princess, the puzzles... everything makes it a masterpiece. The best game ever. You can't say you're a videogame fan if you haven't played it.

The_AssimilatorDec 8, 200810A beautifully-rendered, epically-told tale of sword and sorcery that results in what is possibly the best videogame ever. I can't count the number of times I've finished OoT, and I still enjoy it each time I play it again; this game is a timeless classic that will be remembered for generations.

ErikaP.Feb 3, 200810From the tiny little secrets like making butterflies into faeries, shooting Mario's picture in the castle to get some rupees or simply watching how Link will sneeze in cold areas and sweat in hot ones; to the wonderful plot and characters that drag you into their magical world... this game is absolutely perfect.

MattMApr 23, 200810Personally the best game ever made and will never be beaten.
-
-
ScottW.May 1, 200810Even after finishing this game on N64 15 times, i still bought it on the Wii Virtual Console and have finished it twice since. This IS the greatest game ever made and does not deserve to be knocked off the top by the likes of GTAIV.

TheoEMay 31, 200810I first played this game when I was 7 years old, and then I regrettably sold my N64 2 years later. The only thing I miss is this game, it is one of the best video games ever made, when it comes to scale, story, and even graphics (when you take time of release into account).
-
-
DomCJun 24, 200810Good game. First 3D Zelda, introduced a lot of gameplay mechanisms. The industry standard for action adventure.
-
-
StevenWJun 30, 20089This is by far one of the greatest games ever made. The only problem is that is solely for the N64. Perhaps a Wii version would have been slightly more fun.
-
-
LamiaG.Jun 5, 200810Ocarina of time is still the best game ever made, according to metacritic, game rankings and many other sites. The feeling i had playing and completing this game for the first time is the most profound time in my gaming history.
-
-
MarkJul 28, 200810Flawless - 10 years later.
-
-
PaulF.Aug 19, 200810The best game on the Nintendo 64, a Miyamoto masterpiece, the adventure we all wanted to live; this is a game in wich you feel inside the action.
-
-
TylerJ.Aug 31, 200810The best game on the N64, and one of the best games of all time. You'll notice it's also the highest rated game on metascore, there is a reason for that.
-
-
BrendanBDec 1, 200910Considered the greatest single player game of all time by many, this game is a cant miss for anyone with an appreciation for gaming. Though it was released just beyond 10 years ago, this is still a game id play today and remains among my favorite games along with Shadow of the Colossus and Super Smash Bros. Melee
-
-
FredrikRDec 6, 200910The only none online-game I can play over and over without getting tired. 100% completed (with exception of some gold skultulas a couple of times) 10 times. Estimated time played: 250 - 300 hours.

GeoffreyHMar 5, 200910Best game of all time, everything is perfect basically. And to the people who give this game such a low rating: You obviously don't have a brain stem because everybody knows this game is one of the best games of all time, and to a lot of people including me, the best game of all time.
-
-
DieselAug 21, 200910This game is revolutionarya nd anyone who is rating this low is either brain dead or too young to remember it or has never played it. A Masterpiece. My #2 game of all time behind Super Metroid by a hair.
-
-
PhilMadJan 11, 201010Simply the greatest game of all time, with engaging story, enemies and puzzles this game will have you being nostalgic fr the rest of your life.
-
-
MichelleP.Oct 11, 200210This is the best game ever. The graphics are excellent, and sometimes you feel like your Link himslef. The scares are first-rate as well (especially the Royal Family's Tomb... That was so frightenting!) I don't know how anyone could have the brains to give it a 6 or lower.
-
-
JamesK.Mar 22, 200210Easily the best game I have EVER played.
-
-
[Anonymous]Apr 26, 200210Do I really need to say anything? The best game ever made for systems of the 32- and 64-bit era in any genre. An immersive world, amzing graphics and music, awesome controls (Z-targeting and C Button attacking), and tons of side quests make this game a must have for not just adventure fans, but for anyone who has ever played a video game.
-
-
DanniR.Aug 16, 200210THIS GAME IS AWESOME!! i have completed it three times now and i still can't get enough...ahem i actually have two copies of the game because i lost one and couldn't bare the thought of not playing it until i found it...i wish there was a way to give a higher score cuz i would give it 4MILLION OUT OF TEN! its just completely brilliant...
-
-
AnthonyK.Nov 21, 200310This game is perfect in every single way. i have now played it about 15 times through and still haven't got bored of it. it a masterpiece.
-
-
MorganW.Dec 3, 200310This game is perfect. I own a PS2 and a GC, but there is nothing like firing up the N64 and playing this again. After about 5 minutes the graphics seem as though they are next-gen because the game is so beautifully concieved. It is what video games should be.
-
-
UterMay 23, 200310The most epic game ever. It's length combined with consistently high quality gaming make for 1 of the best games ever created.

MattJul 15, 200310There is just something about this game that capivates your imagination. nintendo blended gameplay and graphics along with puzzles beautifully. it should have a score of 100.

AlisonDec 6, 2004106 years later, and it is still my favorite game...ever! I just wrote a paper about it in one of my college classes and had to play it all over again once i began talking about how great it is. i think i've played it a million times now. go and play this game if you have been in a hole and have not done so yet.
-
-
AlexanderW.Feb 21, 200410In my opinion, the best game ever.
-

AdityaS.Jun 19, 200410Awesome, even after 6 years.

HaBo.Jul 27, 200410This game is really coooool! The windwaker isn't very good. Even though it's old, i still play it alot. im in the forest temple now.
-
-
TylerA.Nov 17, 200510This is my favourite game of all time, I have the N64 and GameCube Master Quest versions. This game can never be beaten. We are up to the second generation of games now and I still can't find a better game. Perfect!
-
-
SamD.Oct 12, 200510Nothing will ever touch this game's greatness. no matter how great the graphic get, no matter what happens in the future, this game will still destroy them all. best game....ever.
-
-
JasonM.Nov 2, 200510There is absolutely nothing one can say to describe this game except perfect. Just perfect. Find me a game that changed the world more, and I'll GIVE you my copy (not gonna happen)

BogdanN.Dec 30, 200510This is one of the best games of all time. The gameplay is great, the stroyline is fun and entertaining, and an impresivly long game for the N64. The single "dissappointing" thing about this game is that the graphics arent too great, but considering its for the N64, they are not bad at all.
-
-
Yoshiir0xOct 23, 200510The best game ever. Nuff said.
-
-
MikeS.Dec 5, 200510The fact is this game has reached the pinnacle of the gaming expirience and the entire feel of the game is amazing, to the point that it has not been matched yet. There is an undeniable dept to this game making it the greatest game of all.
-
-
JaredJul 28, 200510So good i like the graphics and it is one of the best stories yet. i like zelda games and making it 3d makes it so much better.
-
-
ZeroXAug 17, 200510I LOVE this game so much I think it deserves your SOUL!!!!!!.I love this story and gameply so much!!!!>It deserves a 10 out of 10!!!
-
-
DannyL.Nov 1, 200610This game was perfection. Nothing more to say. It was probably the best game ever. I'm interested in seeing how Twilight Princess will do. I can't wait.
-
-
MichelleF.Nov 2, 200610This is one of the greatest games, if not the greatest game ever! If you haven't played it, go get it now!
-
-
KissmeJan 22, 200610The game is wicked and i love it me and me friend plays it all the time but sometimes i haves troble on it so me friend has to beat it fer me and that is all i got to say now soo i is a wicked game man.
-
-
GanonS.Dec 26, 200610This game is the true definition of the word perfect. From the captivating plot to the little secrets, like playing the Song of Storms in the middle of those rocks near the entrance to goron city and getting a free 500 rupee to the immortal and extrmemly aggrivating running man who is the spawn of satan to cows in holes, OoT is my favorite game and I feel like I just made an emmy speech.
-
-
FoxK.Dec 30, 200610If there is ever a debate about the greatest game ever, they obviously haven't played ocarine of time. The zelda series has always been outstanding, but this raises the bar to new levels. Twilight princess is the only game that can compete with OoT, yet it doesn't quite become that legend among games. If you haven't played Ocarina of TIme, you haven't lived.
-
-
BenRussellApr 13, 200610Best game of all time!
-
-
ShaneS.Jul 17, 200610The poor game is eight years old now, yet it plays better than 90% of the modern day games out there. Honesly you could go back in time, stop nintendo from making it, and then release it this year with current gen graphics and it would still get perfect scores from even gamespot.
-
-
JakeS.Aug 11, 200610Amazing, both now and for the time. In-depth and original gameplay, challenging dungeons, and a mix of classic and new style.
-
-
JerkGuyOct 11, 200710This game is a classic, I
-
-
DonaldB.Nov 25, 200710This game deserves to be eternally recognized and honored for how amazingly fun and addictive it was and still is. No wonder they had to wait 2 years to release it on the good old 64, Nintendo was trying to figure out how to make cartridges out of crack.
-
-
JakeM.Oct 13, 200710Quite simply, the best video game I've ever played. Everything, the game play, story, graphics... is perfect.
-
-
BillH.Feb 13, 200710I've never been so impacted by a video game before. When it came out, I must've beat it 4 or 5 times, looking for every secret. Now, as I watch my sister play it for the first time, almost 10 years later, the game still looks beautiful and the game play still holds up. Absolute nostalgia watching link travel through time again. Deserves to be the Best video game of all time.
-
-
M.CoolnessApr 14, 200710Best game ever made. A genuine masterpiece of video games.
-
-
SamusA.Apr 14, 200710There is a 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance that any game in the future will ever top this masterpiece, save for Metroid Prime or another Zelda.
-
-
JamesM.Apr 17, 200710A truly amazing gaming achievement. This masterpiece holds its own among the best titles available for every console. I was wondering when it first came out if we would be talking about it forever, and it seems like we probably will. If you have yet to play this game, may God have mercy on your soul. A 10 out of 10 for the most outstanding game of all time.
-
-
BenJun 29, 200710This game without a doubt, is the single greatest game in history. Even after years of first beating it, I still would play it today. I really don't know what is so great about it to draw me in so deep.
-
-
PaulP.Jul 19, 200710Best Game of all time and will never be out matched by any game ever.
-
-
JosephN.Jul 22, 200710By far the best game you'll ever play. Hands down.
-
-
MichaelK.Jul 28, 200710Enddor D. obviously does not know games. Ocarina of Time is one of the best installments in the Zelda series.
-
-
KevinC.Sep 15, 200710Realistic, great sound, characters that stretch across all emotion, and a gigantic world to explore. It all adds up to the perfect game.
-
-
100This is, without a doubt, one of the all-time greatest games made. 50 years from now people will still be playing and enjoying this game... thoroughly.
-
This Zelda adventure will undoubtedly withstand the test of time and take its place as one of the best games to ever grace a home system.
-
100My favorite game of all Time. It is the perfect example of a perfect and polished game. Every aspect of the game is virtually flawless.
