Media Popculture - Review #4

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - (video game - N64)

The Legend of Zelda holds one of the best series of games in one collection. However whenever Zelda is mentioned, one game in particular always comes to mind. The best Zelda game, and one of the greatest games ever made, Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. The reason Ocarina of Time is so great, is it really revolutionized adventure games in terms of storyline, game play and graphics. At the time, this game was top of the line in every way. Even now people such as myself consider this game to be the best ever.

Its a story about a young orphan who lives alone at a small village in the woods. His world is in danger as an evil power starts to consume everything. The kingdom's princess (Zelda) is kidnapped by the evil entity (Ganondorf) responsible for all the dark creatures taking over the country (Hyrule). And it's at that point that the orphan (Link) whom you control, rises up to save everyone and be the hero. You soon become equipped with a sword and shield to do battle with, and as the game progresses, you unlock dozens of unique and exciting weapons. You venture out into the world and battle all sorts of monsters, making the game challenging and fun. You even get to ride horse mid way through the game with a very unique riding game play system. This game can last days to weeks to even months depending on whether you get stuck on one of the various challenging puzzles the game provides. Overall this game is extremely fun to play and it gives you a real sense of accomplishment and satisfaction once it's over. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is in my view the best game ever made and to this day remains a amazing experience for anyone.
