Play Zelda No Densetsu - Toki No Ocarina Online

Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64 is one of those games that just sticks with you. You start off as young Link in Kokiri Forest, running around with your little wooden sword, and before long you're pulled into this massive adventure where time itself bends to the ocarina's songs. The dungeons are clever—sometimes frustratingly so—but solving them feels so satisfying. And that moment when you first step out into Hyrule Field? Still gives me chills.

What I love is how everything connects. You'll play a melody as a kid, then years later as an adult, you're still using those same tunes to unlock secrets. The world feels alive in a way few games managed back then, with little details like cuccos attacking if you mess with them too much. It's got that perfect mix of exploration, combat, and those "aha!" puzzle moments.

Even now, the Shadow Temple creeps me out a little. That's how you know it's good.
