Zelda 64 really is an amazing game. Graphics, sound,
story, and gameplay all come together almost seamlessly
to create a whole experience that is unmatched by any
other videogame I can think of. Now, if you don't like
action adventure games, Zelda may not change your
mind, but it should.
Zelda 64 is the fifth in the Zelda series, and
each game has been a remake of sorts, in that events in
previous games are not mentioned and do not have consequences
to other games in the series. At first glance, what separates
this newest game from the rest of the Zelda herd is the
third dimension.
Like Mario 64, Zelda has made the jump to immersive
3-D with little problems and with excellent, intuitive
control. The graphics are top notch, not only on a technical
level, but also on an artistic level.
Similar to the Star Wars Cantina scene, many of the nicest
graphical touches in Zelda are 'throw away' (shown
for a few seconds, or are part of a small element in the
background). These little attentions to detail help flesh
out Hyrule as a 'real' place.
The game is spent figuring out what to do, and then how
to do it. Hints are available on the way, some of the
puzzles are obtuse, and many cool and useful tools can
be found during your journey. Like other Zelda games,
there are many extra things to discover and accomplish.
The bottom line is that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina
of Time excels as an overall experience.
