This game is a classic, literally, it's 11 years old, and still played today and considered one of the best dungeon adventure games produced by nintendo, and for the N64. This is also the first game in the Zelda series to be 3-Dimensional and the first one to incorporate the 3 Pieces of Triforce in the story line. Sure, the Triforce always existed, but this started the whole segment about the Triforce being split into 3 pieces which were known as the Triforce of Wisdom, the Triforce of Courage, and the Triforce of Power. Which becomes very significant to the story and the rest of the Zelda timeline, no matter how confusing this is.Okay, the basic story (Without spoiling it for those who have yet to play it) is that you wake up from a terrible nightmare of an evil figure on a horse, as Link, the small Kokiri boy with no fairy. This is unusual in Kokiris, since all Kokiris have fairys. This is why Link is sort of an outcast, though he still has friends, except Milo of course (Cause he's a dick). Suddenly though, the great Deku Tree (Guardian of the Forest) Sends you a fairy, which turns out to be Navi the most annoying part of the game. The only part I can truthfully say I hate, since every five seconds navi yells at you to do something completely dumb. Or while you're doing the task she wanted you to do, she continues to remind you that you're doing it. Yeah, annoying.
Anyway, it's revealed that you are a child of destiny and that you are destined to meet princess Zelda. Which of course you go out and do, and of course she tells you that a great evil is approaching and that you got to get the 3 sacred gems to open the Sacred Realm that way you can protect the triforce from evil. From then on you go on an adventure through dungeons that are filled with monsters, traps, puzzles, and crazy weaponry with your trust Master Sword, which allows you to travel back and forth through time. That's the part I love about this game. You can travel forward and back 7 years, from Kid Link to Adult Link. This allows you to get secret items and do special quests by screwing around with the flow of time.
To make it better you have a magical ocarina that can warp time and space, and make things really fun and easy. All you do is play the right song and BOOM a giant block appears, or BANG a door opens, or PAZOW a windmill owner gets really really pissed off. Music is power basically, in this game.
I wish I could go into more detail on this game, but unlike Team Fortress 2, this game is a one player game where you have to play it to figure out the story and everything. If I try to hype it too much, there will be no suprises anymore. So instead I'll just add that for an N64 game it's FILLED with so much extra content like quests and large dungeons that it's sort of unbelieveable. It's fun to replay, and it's a very exciting game, with at least 10 dungeons in it. Which means of course, 10 bosses. That's so cool.
Go pick it up, since for N64 it'd only be like 3 dollars now, and you can get it for 1000 points on WiiWare. Perfect game to add to your colleciton.
