What annoys me about this is the use of 'ye' as 'you' 'ye' does not mean you, it means 'the'. The 'Y' sound was an olde english abreviation for 'th'

Best game of all time by far. It kept you playing. It made you happy, scared, excited, all while being challenging but not impossible. It truly translated all the best parts of the original games into the 3D universe seamlessly. I picked it up for the first time since I was 12 or so and it still had the same appeal. Leveling up with Link keeps the game ever progressing. As for influences, the next best thing before that was Mario 64 (for 3D worlds and floating cameras). This game improved on that game. Seeing the polygons in 64-bit in the eyes of the 90′s it seemed as real as it could get. Through a child's eyes it was the apex of technology. It was also the perfect mix of dark and light. As the days changed you really felt an unease come over you as werewolves and ghosts and mummies came after you. The mix of total immersion, revolutionary game play, a WORKING floating 3rd person camera, and great graphics for the time it was out (smooth surfaces, ect) is why this game was so influential and why it was one of the best games of all time.

I grew up watching my older brother playing the Ocarina of Time. I was always put at awe by it, but I was terrified by the game. Then I grew a little older and I played the game seven times about. I always hated that stupid water temple!!!
When Majora's Mask came out, I was so excited to play it, and I found how much more difficult it was to finish COMPLETELY. Getting every single mask has still not been possible for me. These games were so much more and lasted longer than most games I have played. The Twilight Princess was pretty good, but it just did not seem to last like the 64 versions.

Lol I've got one of the Gold Cartridge Games, and I didn't even know they were limited edition.

Great game. Last time I played it was only last year. My N64 has outlasted my PS2 and Its about 6 years older.

The game was fun, and at the time really top quality.
That's enough in my book.

Man, I wanted that gold cartridge, but noooo, I didn't have the money at the time.
