  I always loved the Legend of Zelda series. I...am...old, lol. I remember playing the original game. The gold cartridge was so cool, and the game didn't disappoint. It rose above expectations. The best game on the NES. It took me YEARS to beat it. When I finally got that silver arrow and hit Ganon, it was so satisfying. I also loved Zelda 2. I really thought it improved on the original. The downward stab, the Iron Knuckle...on horseback, the maze-like Temples, the Magic meter, Shadow Link. It was so...awesome. Then Ocarina of Time came out and it just blew everything else away. I love this video. You nailed it. This game is just so much awesome crammed into a game that can barely contain it on a system that can barely do it justice and it still somehow comes out shining, and you conveyed all that.

  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is my first ever game that I played and what made me into a Zelda fan for life and my roots, I played countless hours on the N64 with this game as a kid. I'd like to say that I started off with a bang.

  Oot still has the greatest credit sequence of all time

  I still remember the feeling 12 years ago when I beat the game and the end credits played for the first time... there’s a magic that was captured within this game that will never be replicated again. People say video games can’t be art, but this game in every sense of the word, is an artistic masterpiece.

  I can never look at OoT in an objective light to be honest. I remember getting this game as a suicidal teenager in a really shitty spot and it helped me a lot. It was a healing hand on my shoulder when I definately needed it at that time and its one of those pieces of art that defined me as a person. <br><br>Either way, I&apos;ve been in those ALTTP vs OOT arguments and my position stands as;<br><br> people don&apos;t love ALTTP, they love playing it. It might sound like splitting hairs but its important. People love OoT. They love the world, the story, the characters, the little nuances you can find in the world. I can barely find fanart on Sahashrahla or Agahnim but I can find tons of fanart on the cucco lady.

  I remember as a kid getting NES and playing the &nbsp;original Zelda, then a SNES combo with LTTP, then the N64 OoT combo pack then playing MM, then buying Gamecube with WW and TP, playing SS and TP on Wii, and finally buying a Switch BOTW combo pack, buying Links Awakening, and currently waiting for BOTW2. Legend Of Zelda has been my favorite game franchise since i was 4 years old.

  True Story: I begged my mom to teach me how to read so I could read the instruction manual for this game. I literally learned to read because of this game. LOL

  A+ video for an A+ game.<br><br>I will never forget that Christmas my parents hunted everywhere for a copy, and then seeing that perfect size gift under the tree. Played it day and night till it was done, and then did it all over again.<br><br>Now I&apos;m old, and I dusted off the 64, and played through it with my kids, reliving the glory of OOT through their eyes. A proud daddy moment when my 5 year old beat Ganon.<br><br>Last Christmas I got them (and me) Breath of the Wild, and the magic and wonder is still playing out in our house every other day. Everything has come full circle.

  I remember playing ocarina of time for the first time and being TERRIFIED of the shadow temple. Now I’m doing a fellowship in opera to accompany my BA In musicology because of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I teach music because of Zelda and it’s like I’m guiding my students on their own musical adventure

  Not to mention how open-ended it was left, giving the theorists and fanfic writers endless fodder for angst and conspiracies to unpack.
