Score Breakdown
The Review
Ocarina of Time is the gold standard of game design. Every dungeon is a masterclass in pacing, every mechanic feels purposeful, and the transition from 2D to 3D adventure was executed with a precision that still feels miraculous. Z-targeting, context-sensitive buttons, and a living open world were all revolutionary. No game before or since has so completely redefined what an entire medium could be.
Fun Fact
It held the Guinness World Record for the highest-rated video game of all time for over two decades.
