The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been, and probably still is, the most talked about N64 game of 1999. Why? Could it be the Stunning graphics? Excellent sound? Great concept? What is it?! Let's take a look, shall we?
The story opens when the Great Deku Tree, the keeper of the Kokiri Forest, summons Navi, a little fairy. He tells Navi about how the Hero of Time must now collect the Three Spiritual Stones and the Medallions as well as the Ocarina of Time to save Hyrule Kingdom...
Navi flies into the "downtown" area of the Forest to search for young Link and finds him restlessly having nightmares about Ganondorf, the evil king of the Gerudos...
As you can see, the story starts off with an awesome cinema scene. It's really great. The plot? You must rescue Princess Zelda from the evil Ganon and defeat him. Same old, Same old. Or is it?
You have a variety of weapons in the Ocarina of Time: Ocarina, Slingshot, Magic Spells, Boomerang, Bombs, Bombchu, Bow and Arrow, etc. You also have potions, fairies, Lon Lon Milk, and other classic Zelda items. The main item though, is the Ocarina that lets you play songs. These songs do different things in the game such as warp you to different points, get certain people to give you things, accomplish goals, call upon fairies and other things.
The graphics are great in this game! You see the glare of the sun, the texture of the wood. It's so real you fell refreshed when Link dives into the water! Now that's real!
Sound is awesome too! The music is great; and, unless you have sorry speakers, it sounds just like a CD. Good job Mr. Miyamoto on designing the sound system. He was even smart enough to include surround sound! Place a couple of speakers around you and you'll know exactly where that enemy is coming from!
No mulitplayer in this game; and once you beat it, the fun is kind of drained out. I guarantee that it will take forever to beat the game though, for you have to find all the skulltulas! 100 of them. Happy Hunting!
