    The story and game play are ever bit as interesting and compelling as they were when the game was originally released in 1998. [Mar 2003, p.134]

    The controls in the GC versions of Zelda are airtight, even more fluid and responsive than the originals on the N64... The coolest bonus disk ever!

    It's the cream of the crop, it's the Halo, the GTA Vice City and the Half-Life 2 of Nintendo, and it's not to be missed.

    Fans of Ocarina will love diving back into one of the best games ever, only with new dungeons. It's hard to say which is better, but if you love a challenge, Master Quest will satisfy your craving.

    Points off for the lazy port -- but rest assured that Ocarina of Time has lost little of its luster, the Master Quest is a wonderful bonus for returning players.

    Luckily, the sound more than makes up for any graphical shortcomings.

    If you've played Ocarina more than once, you should really enjoy the new twists and turns that Master Quest offers.

    Comments by critics that the graphics "show their age" are unfair, considering how ahead of their time those same graphics were in 1998.

The game is really fun and the controls are solid and the graphics are pretty good for the time, but the game does not make me feel as excited as wind waker made me feel. The game is really good but not perfect, if I played this game before any other 3d zelda games I would of probably gave this game a perfect rating as it would of felt new to me and not the familiar feeling I got while playing through it after I played every other 3d zelda game. 9.5/10 (metacritic will only let me give it a 9)… Expand
