Zelda: Ocarina of Time Revisited

My last review didn't give much detail about the game so here I go again with Zelda Ocarina of Time.



Story: You start as Young Link (Age Probably 10 or 11) who is an orphan in the Kokiri Forest. The guardian of the forest, The Great Deku Tree, sent the fairy, Navi, to Link.

Concept: (This is a replacment for the Gameplay part.) First of all when you make a new profile you name your character. Then you have to find the Kokiri Sword and find some rupees (Money) to buy the Deku sheild. Then you fight some monsters to see the great tree. You're sent inside the tree to decurse it. then you have to kill a boss when you find it. After that the tree will tell you the story of the creation of Hyrule and the Triforce. (It was made by the three goddeses who made Hyrule and when they left the world they left the triforce in the Sacred Realm.) Before the tree dies he gives you the Kokiri Emrald. After that Saria (The girl you grew up with and liked) gives you the Ocarina. when you learn some songs you use them to solve puzzles and warp to different areas. Then you go to Hyrule castle to meet princess Zelda then she sends you on a quest to find the other two spirital stones. When you get them you see the ultimate badguy ,Ganondorf, and get the Ocarina of Time. Then you grab the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. You're in hyrule's future and your character aged 7 years. You meet shiek who helps you on your quest. You have to get your horse Epona, find the 6 sages, save Princess Zelda and defeat Ganondorf. This game is more complicated than it sounds.

Graphics: The game has one of the best graphics I've seen on the N64. This game was made in 1998. The character Models are excellent. The each boss are different form the last one.

Tips: Here is how you get your horse in the game. You first have you learn Epona's Song from Malon at Lon Lon Ranch as a kid. Then become an adult and ask the owner if you can ride some horses. Play Epona's Song then Epona will come to you. Jump over a few fences with Epona then the owner will challenge you to 2 races. When you beat him 2 times you get the horse then you should know what to do. Here is how you get the red and blue tunics as an adult. You have to blow up the rolling Goron then he'll give you the red tunic you need the tunic to go to the fire temple where you find the fire sage. You have to use blue fire to save King Zora and he'll give you the blue tunic. You need it to go to the Water Temple and find the water Sage. So that's how you get some of the optional stuff. If you have any questions about the game ask me.

Bad: To many puzzles not many fighting. Also you can't use your sword on your horse ,but you can shoot your bow at enemies on Epona. Also the Zelda Theme song is not in the game.

Good: The game is long, fun minigames, lots of weapons and after you defeat a boss you get a higher life meter. The story was good and it touched me. The last boss with Ganon is one of the best bosses i've seen in a videogame.

Conclusian: The list of great things about the game goes on and on. I can't believe that it's been 11 years since Zelda OOT was released and I'm glad to say that this game still shines even today. It costs 1000 wii points on the Wiishop channel and this game is worth the download.

Score: This game has High replay value this game get's a 10/10.

Great game.
