- With Tears Of The Kingdom on the way, I think it's important for me to start catching up on the games that made the series what it is today. My experience with Zelda is relatively limited between Twilight Princess, Link's Awakening, and Breath Of The Wild. Now has never been a better time to play Ocarina Of Time for the the first time, so let's see what one of the GOATs is all about...

Can we all agree that the title screen for this game is guaranteed to give you the feels?
OMG YES it DOES, it gives me CHILLS, still the most iconic game opening to this day!
The first time I heard the title screen music back then, I immediately recognized the melody as the song Link plays on the recorder in the original NES Zelda. It's then I knew it was something special.
I say ocarina of time is just a masterpiece my favorite temple is got to be the water temple when you become a adult and the shadow temple but my favorite melody is always the water temple but let me know what is yells favorite melody really curious but I'm looking forward to twilight princess
When you grew up with it, certainly.. lol
Yes, I came back from highschool one afternoon and when I came in this was on the TV, a gift from my late father... This will always make me tear up. Amazing game for the time.
The "unique targeting system" was actually true as Ocarina of Time was the first game to ever allow you to lock in your enemies.You'd be surprised at how revolutionary Zelda and Mario have been for the gaming industry (specially the 3d era).
Actually Megaman Legends was the first unless I’m mistaken. OoT just perfected that.
@@NueThunderKing If you give a quick Google, it's OoT that did it first. I only just found this out too.
@@moxxispookz1245 it was MegaMan Legends on PS1 which launched Dec 1997 vs OoT which launched in 98. MegaMan was the first to implement a lock on mechanic. It did however keep you stationary and OoT was very much a huge step up compared to MegaMan Legends.
Actually Tomb Raider did it first
Goldeneye was also pretty huge too. Especially the autoaim and sights and stuff.
Ocarina was such an amazing experience when it came out. Spent untold hours just living in that world and exploring every nook and cranny. The fact that it still holds up so well is really a testament to how fantastic it is.
It doesn't hold up well. You can only excuse the myriad of horrible design decisions on N64 technology so much.
MANY of this games issues have nothing to do with technological limitations
@@darthkahn45name some issues?
@@rizzy8445 For a game that is literally one of the first of it's kind it has a LOT of faith in it's mechanics all working perfectly as intended 100% of the time.
Problem is...they don't, which wouldn't be that big of a deal if the game wasn't so arrogantly building everything around testing gameplay mechanics to the limits. namely traversal and combat.
Random example, why am I being asked to do a double timed gauntlet across the entire map as part of a quest when as late as the 2010's they still hadn't solved horseriding jank? When speed is not part of the games focus whatsoever? AND you are punished for trying to use warp to save time, y'know how obnoxious that is?
@@darthkahn45 Cry me a river..
@@XpRnz Probably would have been if i'd paid for it but i'm playing a .wad on my Wii that I downloaded so no harm done.
Unique targeting system is not a generous way of putting it…
Ocarina pioneered that lock on combat with Z-targeting.
Came here to comment that.
Ocarina is one of the 2 cornerstone games that made us all aware how much of a literal game changer it was gonna be jumping from 2D to 3D. The other is Super Mario 64.
I would also argue there are a total of 4 cornerstones of 2D to 3D. The other two being Quake and Myst.
One of the greatest games ever made.
I just saw a vid dedicated to the Hero of Time. It's a shame what happens to him after this.
@@hardyjoe4278 Im re reading Twilight Princess, and they do him some justice
@@Smokey1419 they have a book?
@@saltykraken9471 Yea, its a manga so you gotta read it right to left, but its a good rendition of the story that adds a little more to the lore.
@@Smokey1419 nice I'll have to give it a try
I love to revisit OoT every couple of years. I was 10 when it came out, and my younger brother and I spent most of our Christmas break in ‘98 trying to figure how to get into Dodongo’s Cavern. It spawned the tradition of my younger brother and I playing a Legend of Zelda game during the Christmas season. It’s my favorite Zelda game, with Twilight Princess being a veeeeerrrry close second.
I didn’t expect to be watching a Zelda ocarina of time video today but here we are. Pleasant surprise
Welcome and thanks for stopping by :D
Great timing, game turns 25 this year
The N64 was actually a more powerful system than PS1, it was the memory limit of N64 cartridges vs discs of PS1 that caused things like the cutscene discrepancies you referenced in Spider-Man.
Came to comment this lol yea I was so confused when he kept saying that. Like I understand for cut scenes/ music on the ps1 being more powerful… but in terms of graphics and smooth gameplay the n64 was way ahead
Yea OOT looks better than most ps1 games.
The sad thing was we could have had bothe the power of the n64 and a cd based system sony was set to collab with nintendo to make a cd based console but nintendo canned the project and sony decided to release the playstation, instead lol.
Fun Fact: The gold cartridge version of the game had Gannondorf bleed red rather than the green of the gray cartridge.
Thats because the Gold cartridge is 1.0 where they had red blood but replaced it in 1.1 with the gray cartridge because BlOoD iS tO vIoLeNt. but funny enough they kept the blood in the bottom of the well and on dead hand so it just kinda seems like an unnecessary censor.
I have a gray cartridge with the red blood. We must’ve gotten lucky
@@lindblumpickles3407*_Hang on to it! It’s the rarest variant of the game by far._*
@@BorsPepsiimagine if dead hand was censored... Oven mitt appears.
They dont make gamers like they used to... I played this on N64 when I was like 8 years old. It was tough, but so satisfying. Aside from the water temple, every dungeon was a joy to traverse. Timeless classic.
Much better game than BOTW. More focused and less tedious.
This game is just hard to play now. Couldn’t play it for more than 15 without getting bored. Used to love it. Def not on the BOTW level
@@Faithaven Ocarina Of Time is one of the most engaging and fun games ever created. Breath Of The Wild was the first game to truly challenge its rule as the one true GOTYAY masterpiece. There's nothing tedious about BotW either. OoT, MM and BotW = the holy trinity of perfect video games.
@@GugureSux haven’t played MM since it came out. Not my thing
Very, and I mean VERY few games can match to the legacy, impact, & reception OOT has. Even 25 years later, it's still considered the very best of the best. THIS is the game that cemented Zelda as truly the greatest game series of all time!
It's not the greatest game series, idiot it's mario.
Just finished my first ever playthrough like 5 minutes ago. It was pretty janky at first but once I got how the flow of the game works it was amazing. Frustrating, but amazing lol
Man this game defined my childhood I swear haha. Think it's why I love third person adventure games so much more that multiplayer fps type games
It's such a privilege to have played this game in 99. I was so young that I didn't really make any progress, but a few years later I picked it back up and those core memories were already implanted. Experiencing Kokiri Forest and Hyrule Field as a little kid (when these were the best graphics around) was m a g i c a l
Edit: I'd like to add that the 3DS version is supreme. I hadn't played it until I bought my first 3DS this year.
It’s a shame how expensive 3ds consoles have become :/
Ocarina of Time blew me away on how fluid it is given the N64 era. It's CRAZY how it holds up.
I feel like no video can ever describe how this game made me feel as a kid. This game was amazing and is a legendary classic for so so many reasons. This and BoTW will always be my top 2 Zelda games and possibly my all time favorites.
Twilight Princess is my personal favorite, but Ocarina changed the game. We didn’t get a game changer again till breath of the wild. Almost 20 years later.
Twilight Princess is my undesputed favorite as well. It is essentially Ocarina 2.0. Same plot, more or less, but bigger and better in every way. Did you read the manga?
Ocarina of time > Twilight Princess > Botw.
@@PikaLink91 there is a manga!?!?
Twilight Princess is a vibe. If you know, you know.
I haven't played Twilight Princess since I first got my Wii, but I remember loving it :)
I can’t believe there are hardcore gamers that have skipped OoT. It just feels beyond my understanding.
Or any zelda game really. They should be first on the list for any gamer
yeah, same, hard to believe.
Yeah, pretty strange, how old is he?
@@truthseek3017 He’s got to be in his 20s. Maybe 28 or something. Early 30s at the very oldest.
just put 150 hours into breath of the wild and beat it, first ever zelda -.. considering Ocarina as my next one (to switch it up and not go tears of the kingdom) , its wild-.. i was a sega to sony kid :')
I never had any trouble with Ocarina of Time's controls. Then again, it was one of the first 3D games I ever played (together with Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie), so maybe that helped a little.
And about that part of you restarting the game in Kokiri Forest, yes, that was normal for older Zelda games. Every time you save, quit and restart the game, you always start at one of only a few possible locations. In OoT's case, those locations were Kokiri Forest (as Young Link) and the Temple of Time (as adult Link).
You joked that calling the targeting system unique was being generous but at the time it really was unique. This game invented lock on targeting.
As a kid I had my cousin play this in front of me so much times I was able to beat it eventually, but the Water Temple was the one that literally took me days of trial and error. My favorite parts were the bosses, I actually loved the Phantom Ganon fight, you have to be precise in shooting back his attacks, and my favorite dungeon was the Shadow Temple. Definitely my favorite N64 game.
The only chest people forget in the water temple is the one in the center column, once u know that it's not hard at all.
It's strange hearing someone talk about this that didn't grow up with it. N64 was during my prime gaming youth so things like the controls and the targeting feel second nature. I commend you for sticking it out 👏
I finally completed Ocarina of Time for the first time on the Switch recently. For me, not only did it show me why it is one of the greatest games of all time, but it managed to work its way into one of my favorites of all time. Personally, I think the original stands the test of time for the most part. I agree that it could benefit from updated controls, but I honestly adapted to them fairly quickly. I will say that the benefit of playing it on the switch was being able to create those suspend points. While it definitely did feel like cheating in a way, it was so beneficial creating a save point right before a boss or as you finish playing. I got to retry the boss without having to lose my items, and I didn't have to start every play from Link's home. It felt like a nice way to incorporate a simple modern mechanic into the classic game.
I would love a new remaster of this game. It's honestly surprising they haven't done a full remake yet for the Switch. Maybe they will for the next Nintendo console? I can't wait for Tears of the Kingdom!
I've been playing the 3DS version, after being surprised at how low res the textures were and the control issues you mentioned were on N64 original. It's been great.
I’m glad you showcased just how much of a piece of art that guide is. It really is gorgeous and was definitely something I read over and over and OVER as a kid. I would just stare at the pages, transfixed and transported. The days before Hyrule Historia were something else, man.
That’s awesome you finally played it; but it almost sucks that you missed out on fully experiencing it in your childhood. It is it’s own experience in of itself.
Also you gott collect heart pieces to increase your health. If you just run on 5 hearts and faires an potions, you will get destroyed.
Everytime i went to Cuba to visit my older brother I would ask him to play this while i watched and he ALWAYS delivered completing the game right before my eyes in one sitting . I made him a speed runner of ocarina of time before speedrunning was even a thing….good times. I don’t know how he got the game in Cuba but the N64 was mine and i sent it to him. In the end he sold it in Cuba along with the toys i would send him and made enough money to legally migrate to America and reunite with me and the fam!
Has podido encontrar el juego de nuevo? Pa el n64 o el 3ds? El juego tiene buenas memorias pa ti :)
@@advancedlevelgaming No porque no tengo 3ds o N64 pero eso no importa tengo mi hermano conmigo y eso es lo mas importante.
@alberto balsalm Yes with enough money(Good luck) or through a lottery prize known as *El bombo* which is legal passage to america for 4 people and my mother won said prize at the time.
I had the gold cart and prima guide, I'd give my self a week of being stuck before I was allowed to consult the guide for a solution. The deku tree took so long I really thought I'd completed the game when I finished it... if only I knew 😂
The targeting system is a little finicky but the trick is that there is a minimum distance before Navi actually targets enemies and a minimum distance before the target lock disengages. Many first-time players just mash the target button without ever noticing that she hovers over things when she can target them, they also don't notice that the camera always keeps the target and link in focus or that tapping the target button resets the camera behind Link. The movement difficulties can be minimized by using softer joystick inputs or in the case of stationary context-sensitive actions stopping all movement and then pressing the buttons.
OOT is a lot like an old car, there are some little things that you can do while driving to minimize the problems.
Of course, I've beaten the game ten times and figured these things out after hours and years of playing. It's definitely not a perfect game but the sum of all its parts fit perfectly together.
This game changed me as a kid. I had played Zelda 1 on the NES and dabbled in Link to the Past (didnt have a SNES), my weird, compulsive mother brought this game home for me randomly because she found a deal where it came with a free Zelda T-Shirt at whichever store. She gave me the game and I was like "wtf is this?" Popped it in and became one of my all time favorite games. My friends and I used stay up and beat it in one playthrough. Then as we got older, we got together once a year and beat the game. Tradition.
Used to spend hours pouring over the pages of the OoT issue of Nintendo Power while my older brother played. An all-time masterpiece with memories I’ll always cherish
The 3DS remake is pretty much the Metroid Prime Remastered treatment for this game. Updated visuals and better aiming. It'd be nice to see it ported in HD
25 years this November. Crazy. I loved this game on the n64 back in the day.
I respect the frustration with losing all of your items after dying and the difficulty of the dungeons and how punishing the smallest mistake was. But for me I think during the time this is what made the game so endearing and immersive. It felt real, the time spent exploring and perfecting the game (going through the paces essentially) was what made it so magical.
I love Ocarina Of Time 😭 I had played A Link To The Past beforehand but OOT is what really solidified my love for the Zelda series. And also the music! The song of time, song of storms, forest temple, spirit temple, Sarias song, the opening music, the market music...Its such a great and iconic game.
I also love Majoras Mask, so much so that I have a tattoo of Majora's Mask on my chest lol. Some of my favorite music is in MM with Ikana Castle, Stone Tower Temple, and the elegy of emptiness.
Ah I'm so jealous. Experiencing OOT for the first time and flipping through the strategy guide. 😭
(EDIT: OMG. You gotta play Majora's Mask next! Please! 😭 When you do talk to the scarecrow and keep in mind it's hints!)
This one changed gaming for me. I was 8 years old when I finally beat it around 2000. I was stuck on the second part of the Gannon fight for almost 4 months before i finally beat it. I was so proud lol
If you enjoyed OoT’s narrative I would highly recommend Majora’s Mask, just cranks the story quality up by 11 and adds a lot of side quests and optional narratives too!
The fact back then it required the expansion pack in order for it to run was like the rumored ps5 pro it was a game changer
Ocarina of Time was my first favorite game of all time. Over the years other games have passed it but it still remains in my top 5.
I remember being ten when it came out and my mother renting it for me. It was rented so much she finally went out and bought it for me. Lol. I got so lost in that game, and the soundtrack always brings me back to that time period.
Ocarina of time is the very first game I’ve ever played. What got me into gaming when I was in like 1st grade
YESSS!!!! Matty’s finally giving Zelda a shot! I’m really happy to see this.
After this game was released, for about 15 years it was considered, by a vast majority, to be the greatest game of all time. It's only been the last 5 or 10 years that a large swath of people may argue it's a different game that deserves that status. There has never been a game that has been that close to unanimously considered the "greatest" since.
My fave zelda game of all time is 4 swords adventures. Back then my friends mainly played the pokemon gba games, while I played the yugioh ones. Once I got this game new, I then bought 3 more cables for 4 player co-op. This was my summer of 2006 ❤
Its crazy that OoT basically invented targeting in 3D games
It did invent z targeting
As a fellow Matty, I love Retro Rebound dude, these videos are top-tier. Ocarina of Time vibe wise feels like it was interpreted from an ancient epic into a game.
Ocarina is my favourite game of all time, played it when I was a kid and have gone back numerous times over the past twenty years
I had a 64 when it released and never played this or any Zelda game before until last month. Ocarina of time lived up to the hype for me. I absolutely loved it.
5:10 it was a unique targeting system at the time. it was the first to do it well, and many games today still use this same system for targeting. one of the many reasons why this game was so massive and still is to this day
Playing Ocarina of Time as a kid (I was born in 93) was like stepping into another world. Not only was the game massively elevated by simply being a carefree child with a massive imagination, but you couldn’t just hop online and spoil the game. I had no idea how long the game would be, and it straight up took me months before I even got all three spiritual stones. I seriously thought the game would end after getting all the spiritual stones, so becoming an adult and finding out I wasn’t even half way done with the game was just such an incredible mind blowing experience, it’s something that I don’t think can ever be achieved by a video game again, or atleast not for me now that I’m an actual adult.
That being said I spent six hours tonight playing Tears of the Kingdom and maybe it’s just the “honeymoon period” and “hype” clouding my judgement but getting off the floating island straight up made my jaw drop. All the new mechanics are so creative (even more so than something like Portal 2) and if the game keeps this momentum throughout its campaign then it may not just be the best Zelda game ever made but one of the best video games ever made. I shit you not. And this is coming from someone who liked (but didn’t totally love) BOTW. I always thought that it BOTW was able to have actual traditional dungeons and also be able to be super dark and legitimately creepy (like Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask could be) it would be the best Zelda game. I refuse to spoil TOTK but if TOTK ends up having actual dungeons and incredible side content, then my social life is gonna be totally dead for the next few weeks. So excited to see how the world reacts to this game this Friday.
You only got three hearts by phantom Ganon!? You only grabbed the boss hearts that's not a fair complaint to be honest about dying
Getting Game Over in the middle of a dungeon and having to restart from the dungeons' entrances is irritating, but OoT does have Farore's Wind to warp you as well as most dungeons revealed shortcuts to the second half/boss room is usually near entrance so you didn't have to retrace everything. And luckily right outside the Forest Temple is a Red Fairy Fountain to restock bottles quickly.
Ocarina of time hands down still one of my favorite games ever. I just introduced this game to my 8 year old daughter and it was amazing to see how much she loved it. We finished the game last week and she has become a die hard Zelda fan. We are currently playing majora's mask and plan on playing all the other games in order. I was her age when I got ocarina of time when it came out and it’s awesome just to see her go through the same wonderment I did almost 30 years ago.
You will now randomly say “SKITE!” When swinging literally any objects in your house and “HYAAA” for max spinning damage.
I was 18 when this game came out. I spent hours living in hyrule and its truly one of the greatest
The complaint seems weird that you saved the game and were surprised you spawned without your stuff. Save before boss, and reset the game when you die.
Ya, the game asks if you want to continue or not, if you say no, you'll be able to resume to a state you previously saved, saying yes will start you back at the temple with all the consumables already used still gone. I can see that is as slightly unintuitive though, so I some what understand the complaint.
This is the first time I hear of someone grinding in oot lol
I have played this game so much for so long that playing it on anything BUT an N64 controller throws my mind for a loop!
For funsies I pulled my JP boxed copy off the shelf to compare the backs, 3 pictures instead of 5 and the all the pictures of gameplay are different. Though it also has a picture of Link and the Dodongo but he's running away from it instead of facing it. Along with a shot of the Temple of Time and Link riding Epona through the field.
I'm really quite envious that you're experiencing this for the first time. Shame that there's not a red pill or blue pill that would enable this first time with Zelda oot experience for myself but alas 😢
An absolute crime that you have gone this long without playing the best game of all time!
@@Wario1382 that’s pretty harsh; I wouldn’t call it the best of all time either. But for one of the first 3D action games to solve a lot of camera issues, targeting issues, some of the best music, and being as inspirational as it is? I mean c’mon, the maybe 8-10 times you have to backtrack is minimal.
@@Wario1382 I would hate to be as miserable as you bud. I hope you get help
@@Wario1382 Dude what? Ocarina has fairly minimal backtracking. It's one of the more linear games in the series.
@@Beefnhammer Sounds like hes just being hateful
I prefer Majora's Mask but I agree, it's a crime.
On the back of the PAL version it says: "256 megs of intensive action-adventure gaming." That's HUGE !!
Actually the N64 was more powerful than PS1 but there wasn't enough room in the cartridge for prerendered cut scenes or voice acting. All the cut scenes in OOT are done with the game engine, which doesn't take that much space. In retrospect that's a good choice. Nowadays people don't want the cut scenes and the gameplay looking entirely different. In FF VII they have at least 3 completely different looking character models, which felt really weird when I played FF VII for the first time, after I had already played FF X. In the early PS1 the actual graphics were still pretty primitive so cut scenes were a way to show that the games were now next gen.
And thanks to your video I just pulled out my OoT 3D and 3DS to start playing it again and hopefully 100% this time. I last played in June 6, 2011! 12 years ago! I had at least maxed hearts and armor.
Well I'm playing it again and maybe I'll do Master Quest. I love this game. I wish I could say I prefer MM 3D over MM N64, but some of the changes in the remake REALLY hurts the experience that the original is just better.
Anyway, back to OoT!
You’ll have to try out Majoras Mask next Matty :)
It's on the list!
@@retrorebound8887 I looked through all your videos looking for Majora's Mask. Did you ever get to it?
Man I played this for the first time in 2016. God damn what a masterpiece.
Great video dude. I played thru this last year on Switch Online. The save state funcion makes it's a much better experience 👌
Yeah i dusted my old N3ds XL off and bought a grip for it, and planned to do the 3ds games. And now im playing Majoras mask for a good 12 hours or so, after having finished Ocarina of Time. What a blast im having now that i can understand English fully. I dropped the game when it first came out (MJ), because these games can be quite hard as a young lad who could't read English good at the time, and the time limit from Majora's mask was probably a factor why i stopped.
"Unique targeting system" isnt generous, it's very reserved. They pretty much invented the concept of targeting enemies and characters in a 3d environment
My brother in Christ there was a remake of this game already on the 3DS and yes most of the problems are fixed and it’s awesome.
I beat it during the pandemic. I legitimately thought at that time I was the only gamer over 25 to have beaten OoT for the first time. So cool to see someone else go through this. When I was a kid, I too never played much beyond deku tree either!
I replayed my saved file (still works till this day) as it’s saved ready for the final battle. I usually just explore the whole world as kid link or adult link. Soooo many wonderful memories.
This is actually the craziest title I’ve ever seen from a well respected video game critic. Happy you got to experience one of the greatest games of all time.
Ohh to be you sir. You lucky guy Matt. If only I could relive this gem for the first time ever.
how did u miss this! OoT came out when I was 9.... I'll never experience a game like I did back then, pouring over the guidebook... There are still some experiences like it with games like Elden Ring, but man, what a special game. My personal GOAT!
That ending hit hard as a kid 🥲
I remember my brother getting the gold edition of this game the day it came out. This was my first Zelda game and really what made me love video games
The targeting system in this game was revolutionary for 3D video games. Calling it “unique” at the time was apt, not “generous.”
Great video Matty! I replayed this on 3DS last year and it's a strict upgrade in my opinion. Looks and feels fantastic on there.
I just played the 3DS version for the first time and the aiming is so much better, especially with the gyro. Ocarina of Time was already one of my favorite games of all time and the 3DS version fixes the few complaints I had with the game barring a few nitpicks.
I'm playing this with my 6 year old. I'm helping her read the text. I want her to get older and remember beating this very special game. This will be her first game to ever beat.
I probably didn’t play this game till the late 2000s when I was in middle school on my buddy’s game cube he let me borrow. He had the master collection or whatever it was called. It easily became one of my favorite games and I fully understood why it was one of the goats for video games.
Being born in 98, I grew up playing this and donkey kong. LETS GO MATTYYY!
The temples and the bosses are the best parts of this game. The end of the game in the castle, just epic for 1998. Probably the reason it still feels modern is because the mechanics influenced so many games that came after it. The sounds and the music just hit me in the feels every time. I've had Song of Storms as a choice for notification sound for my phone for years and years, even my mom used it on her phone back in the day.
About missing the items like fairies when you die, if you say no to save when dying you don't miss the items.
I wanna let you know this video alone made me dive into the 3D Zelda series for the first time and it really is something I wish I didn’t turn away from as a kid. So fun and well put together from it’s time and holds up well for me at least today 👍🏼
Nice to see someone experience this game for the first time and keep in mind how old it is. The impact this game had in 3D gaming cannot be understated. It is still felt to this day.
And I hate to be that guy, but I have to add that the Nintendo was actually the more powerful console compared to the PSX. It did have space limitations, but it was for a fact more powerful.
Back in the day people got easily confused because of CGI scenes, but those are just CGI in the end lol.
I don't think there will ever be a paradigm shift like OoT vs 2D Zelda. I'm glad I was there to experience it.
It wasn't just that Zelda or action games went from 2D to 3D. They nailed it. It's obscene how well Nintendo laid the ground work for 3D action games.
Take shot everytime Matty hits the mic with his flailing paws, I m dead. Only bugged me cause I'm wearing headphones 😅 my bad it was the hat.
13:55 Im SO glad you played with thr OG Fire Temple theme playing! Thr censored cersion included in later versions sounds empty by comparison without the chanting
it's the one game i really 'lived' in for an extended amount of time as a kid. to this day when I see the title screen it's like stepping back into my old room in my parents' house, where you just know every single little thing like the back of your hand.
This game and the time I spent playing with my mother as a child are invaluable to me. Nothing can top it. The music is ingrained in me.
This game was my childhood for sure - even if it took me an entire year to reach the adult timeline
N64 and especially OOT will forever hold a special place in my heart
The dungeons are the core of the game. If they’re made convenient or easy, then it detracts from the game significantly out of proportion. It would be like if you had infinite lives in Super Mario Bros.
Imo greatest game ever created...and deserve a full remake before i freaking die
"Ganondork.." How have I never thought of that!? Lol
This was truly the last game of my childhood, a bridge between a kid and a pre teen. So many feelings i associate with this game, i am truly jealous you got to experience it for the first time
I remember collecting the guides that came in parts as tiny little books.
Ngl I feel asleep, but I technically watched the whole vid, gave you a like, and commented. 👍
Saved vid coming back when i have time.
I TOO JUST THIS MONTH PLAYED OCARINA AND MAJORA FOR THE FIRST TIME AS A 38 YEAR OLD ADULT. I was always a PlayStation kid and was Zelda adjacent. I knew what I NEEDED to know to be a nerd with credentials lol. But MAN OH MAN OCARINA WAS SO FRIGGIN GOOD!!!! I REEALLY ENJOYED MAJORA AS WELL, I had ALWAYS been told I wouldnt like majora as much, I think im glad i waited to be an adult and understand the underlying things. They we re both SO GOOD.
How has this man not played this game yet
I relate to Matty in a lot of ways - so many classics being played in my adult years (pretty much the same age I think) and still having those nerdy childhood loves carrying over too like DBZ and the gba days
