Recorded using an Ultra HDMI modded N64 console with an Elgato game capture HD60s capture card using a real game cartridge.
So who's looking forward to the N64 Mini Classic console and do you think this will end up on it? Maybe we will get Ura Zelda? what do you think the top 5 or top 10 zelda games of all time are? Like me do you love 2d zelda games from the SNES or NES like a link to the past? Do you prefer this or wind waker, breath of the wild or even twilight princess? How would you like to see the series evolve next on Nintendo consoles?

This is the greatest game to exist in this universe. I wish I could go back in time and play this for the first time again.
WiseDragon22 me too. I will never forget first playing it.
I too would love that wise dragon - the wisest thing you've ever said :)
@Mike Wilcken I played master quest on the 3DS version but never completed it.
Just put the Master sword back..
I tried banging my head against the wall really hard but I still didnt forget ocarina of time (
I almost cried of happiness and nostalgia with your review, I called my buddy from 20 years ago to talk about our time back then playing this game when we were teenagers, thank you
amazing times they were, not just for the game but life in general. seemed much simpler hey
What an amazing ride for any lucky 90's kid that had an N64. Being just the right age to play this between the ages of 9 and 10 was truly a blessing, even though it's still an amazing work of art 20 years later, it was like nothing before or since to be just the right age to truly get lost in the dreamworld of Hyrule as a kid back when this game was in it's prime.
Wonderful review Glen, hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas this year!
I totally agree. Being the same age at the time made this easily the most meaningful game from my past.
thank you Dan! you have a great Christmas too!
Absolutely agree. I was 10 years old when playing this. Since at that age I just learned my first words of English it was hard to progress without tons of trial and error but back then I had the patience to do so and enjoyed exploring Hyrule even more as a result. The music, gameplay, atmosphere and music were enough to make this my all time favourite.

@@RefinedRetroReviews same bro this and majora’s mask were both blessings in my life. An absolute gem of a golden era.
This takes me back to 6th grade. Not a care in the world. Going to school, discussing Zelda, WCW NWO Revenge. Hanging out outside all day with friends, sleepovers, playing san fransisco rush, and trying to finish the all nighter by fishing for hours in Zelda. Amazing review
Thomas im glad I could bring so many great memories back to you
I watch this video every now and again...just to be taken back to 1998 and forget I'm 37 ... The music and memories will live with me forever. I don't think a game since has made me feel that way. It's bitter sweet. Thanks Glenn and hope Dad life is treating you well.
I know right, escapism is a wonderful thing. dad life is fun, tiring and rewarding, hope to be back soon as my healths been bad the past 7 months or so
@@n64glennplant hope you get better
For me, I did get this through the Sears Christmas catalogue on Christmas eve 1998, my mom over paid through the teeth for it, I think she paid close to 160 dollars Canadian for it (in 1998 which is probably close to 250 now I would think) because of how rare the game was, I was the only person in my network of friends that had it, so naturally everyone wanted to borrow it.
I was very sick at the time literally dying from undiagnosed type 1 diabetes and I can remember being in the fire temple when my mom told me I was diagnosed with diabetes, my blood sugar was 10 times the normal amount for a healthy person and my vision was starting to become blurred from the sugar building up in my eyes.
I beat the game early in 1999 after just a couple weeks of learning to inject insulin, this game cuts very deep for me, and I too wish I could go back to the 90's where my escapism often takes me anyways. Very good game, one of the best ever.
damn man that intro with the background music brought some inner tears and thoughts back. This game was my chilhood... a time when life was simple. Ocarina of Time, WCW vs NWO World Tour, Goldeneye, hours of time to play after school and weekends. Before bills, death of loved ones, repetitive work, expectations of adulthood. Thanks for the trip back friend
thats what I was going for Manny, 40 minutes of escaping back to the late 90s :)
Sadly on point, dude.
A masterpiece is when you have people of the same age, all around the world, having the exact same experience and feeling exactly the same. :) This video describes exactly how me and my buddies from school felt while we played this at the age of 12. Outstanding. Also great video. Thanks.
The memory of Christmas morning 1998 when I opened this is one that I will never forget. Truly the Citizen Kane moment in gaming and even though it perhaps hasn't aged brilliantly it is still a timeless masterpiece and probably the closest the gaming industry will see to perfection.
so many awesome games around at this time, it really was a golden era
also the ending credits scen of the game always makes me somehow emotional ( even til this day)
I know what you mean, gets you right in the feels haha
same here
I even had to cry badly when I saw the credits for the first time.
My boy Link deserved more than just a pat on the hand for real.
Yes.. that's a rule in "greatest game of all time" discussion... "Did this game make you cry or almost cry?"
You finally did it Glenn thought you'd save it for last lol. My all time favorite n64 game.
Agreed! It may just be my all time favorite game, period.
@@Dan-uu1ox yeah I was five when I first played it and was blown away.
the best game ever made
@Rex Erection yeah goldeneye was awesome.
Amazing review👏👏👏
Thanks stevie 👍
I remember asking for this game for Christmas. I knew my parents had gotten it for me and I also knew where my mother hid my gifts. I had a friend over one night while my parents were sleeping upstairs. I got the game out of it's hiding place and carefully cut a seem into the plastic wrap. We then played for about an hour or two up until somewhere inside the Deku Tree. I then put the game back into the box and used clear Scotch Tape to seal it away. I don't know if my parents ever noticed.
Glenn, the N64 is my favorite console of all time, your channel brings back so much memories. I love the personal touches and your own memories that you bring to each review.
haha I used to do that too!
I was 13 in 98 on Christmas when I got this. It was the closest thing to an open world game available at the time. It is definitely in my opinion the best in the series. From the story to it's revolutionary gameplay there was nothing else like it at the time. I can't even begin to count how many times I played through it.
Hyped to watch this.
glad you enjoyed it at the Gym :)
I was 12 in 1998 . The intro music takes me back to when life was absolute magical . I didn’t know I was living the best years of my life in the 90’s i wish i could go back in time
This review made me feel like a kid again. Hearing your story brought me back, thank you man love all your videos!
thank you Michael - really appreciate the feedback!
Same bros.
This was the game that made me love games. I’ve been searching for my new Ocarina of Time ever since.
you could say that I have been too - what a great way of putting it
Well said 🙂👍. No game has made me feel that way since .
Sounds weird but the closest thing that comes to mind is the original God of War.
Finally! The greatest Game of all Time!
took me long enough hey
This is a masterpiece. I went back and played this last year and it felt like The Temple of Time transported me back to 1998/1999.
Your intro directly describes my feelings about going back to play this game - wild just thinking about it can bring me to tears
I've always found Majora's Mask the more compelling entry
That said, I'm overcome with a sense of nostalgia hearing about your excitement and longing for the game as a kid. I honestly might hook up my N64 (or throw on Master Quest) and clear the game this weekend!
Cheers, mate
@treeghettox agreed
To me, MM felt like a rushed, weird romhack of OoT. It lacked the masterful level design of OoT (although I loved the Stone Temple) and everything just felt a little off for a Zelda game. That's just my opinion.
@@Patralgan I personally feel mojoras mask is one of the most unique sequels ever. The only problem I had with it was the lack of dungeons. While I prefer ocarina I was satisfied with majoras mask.
@@Patralgan I've always considered Majora's Mask to be Ocarina of Time DLC. It was a great game after you found everything in Ocarina of Time and wanted an additional challenge.
And it's pretty much the antithesis of the Zelda series, so to me it felt like a breath of fresh air.
@@Patralgan You need to keep in mind that MM development cycle was very tight and shorter (1 year which is insane), if they had more time it would obviously had more dungeons, but it also would've been a whole different game from the final product and probably wouldn't be as great as it turned out, so I think MM did more with it's limited content than OOT in 3 years of development.
I love your stories of your childhood I think most of us in our late 20's and early 30's now can relate to them
I resonate so much to your intro. This game changed my life and when i even hear the music, I feel so nostalgic and slightly melancholy.
When I first played OoT after it came out in late 1998, I was a child blinded by innocence and didn't think much of what Sheik said as you enter the Forest Temple for the first time. Now after watching this video and hearing what she said again 20 years later, I'm literally holding back tears as I type this because of how true it is and how much worse my life has become since I first played this game. The flow of time is cruel and its speed seems different for each person but one thing that will never change are memories of younger days. Cherish your youth because being an adult and life in general is a world of misery and cynicism, love your videos and channel Glenn always looking forward to the next one.
its a game which keeps giving, I too found things and meanings years later that I didn't quite understand as a teenage when playing this.
Exactly! I miss been those days playing OOT as a 12 year old .best memories I’ll
Cherish them for ever
This is a really beautiful comment.
Started playing Zelda Ocarina again, and let me tell you, it absolutely holds up today!
This game holds treasured memories for me.
glad im not the only one!
Thank you for your content. I enjoy your reviews and childhood stories connected to the games. Feel like i relate to you and reminisce of when i was a kid playing n64 with my friends
Glenn, I have been subbed 500< sub's. this is your best work. Never stop your passion, me/we, are following you for a reason. THIS proves why you should be credited. All my
How many chores did you have to do to make it up to your old man?
I still cant remember if he ever found out
@@n64glennplant he must've been pretty chill lol because if he got super mad you'd remember, I save my weekly allowance of like $7 I wanna say and chipped away at paying it off, I left nothing to chance
Perfect video for a sunny bank holiday Monday, while in Lockdown in the UK. Very soothing, especially with the music in the background.
Hopefully this lockdown will end soon enough
Mr. plant. I’ve watched all of your videos numerous times, and have multiple categorized playlists of your n64 reviews. And I know I will watch this greatly made video many many times over in the future for nostalgia sake. Thanks.
thanks Chris, the nostalgia is what this is all about!
Thank you for this video Glenn. Ocarina of time is by far my favourite video game of all time. To this day I still can’t quite understand how Nintendo managed to make something so powerful. I was 10 when I first got it and I’m 30 now. And the more time goes on (excuse the pun) the more I love it. Something really hits home with the fact Link can at will go back to his childhood with the use of an instrument. And I in a way use this game as he uses the Ocarina. If I ever want to capture that moment in my life again I insert my copy into my N64 and I’m there! Merry Xmas
you know I couldn't have said that better myself, this game does that to me too
My sentiments exactly, often when I need a break and mirage to a time less complicated, I do the same.
This is oozing nostalgia out of every frame. So damn good.
Gotta say man... I love your videos. The story about how you acquired the game is golden.. I love every second of it!
Thank you J
I braved the winter cold to get an N64 and took numerous bus rides (didn’t have a car at the time) to many malls looking for this game. I was cold, wet and getting frustrated. When I finally stumbled upon this store called Wizards of the Coast and they were selling for $100 each. Price gouging? You betcha! But totally worth it. Fired up the game that night at 11pm in a warm apartment and I’ll never forget what a beautiful game it was.
And still is. Nothing can touch this game. Bravo Miyamoto! Bravo!
Ocarina of time is my childhood and will always be the greatest game of all time for me. I remember the first time I went to my cousins place and they had just become adult link. I had never played a zelda game at that point in time and my cousin lent me the game shortly after. It took me to a world I couldn’t have imagined. I know the game like the back of my hand and is what got me into the Zelda series. The music, the locations, the magic and the characters with it’s touching and emotional moments are things that will stay with me forever. I loved hearing your story on how the game impacted you as a younger person as it made me reflect on my own childhood experiences playing this game.
I love reading all these comments to hear of peoples own vivid memories of this game, making me feel young again ahah
I went back and watched this again after your return. This Is by far the best review of this game anywhere. You've done the legacy proud. Hats off 👏
Thank you I’m glad if I could even get close to doing it some justice
@@n64glennplant Dude I've watched every single one of your videos. You're incredible.
I really enjoyed the story you shared about the anticipation and trouble you experienced as you waited to get your copy of the game for the first time. Thanks for sharing and you did a great review and retrospective of the game as well!
I just discovered your channel and I must say that this is one of the best vid about Ocarina of Time that I ever seen. Well done sir!
Thank you so much for your support! Hope you enjoy finding more on the channel 👍
Glenn, you’ve outdone yourself with this review. When I saw it waiting for me, I knew I HAD TO watch it on the TV in my living room. Watching on a smaller screen just wouldn’t do the review justice.
I loved the personal stories you attached with how you got this game. I was lucky and got it for Christmas. I told my mom to preorder it so I could get the gold cart. I think she said that she did, but I ended up with a gray cart anyway. Not that I was complaining too much. The game really helped shape my gaming tastes and it was just a great time to be a gamer.
Thanks for the great review. I don’t know what I’ll do when you finally finish up all the reviews!
Thanks Danny, good or grey cart a you’re right it’s still amazing to have got it on launch!
I got this game when I was 5 years old and played it for years & loved it. Unfortunately I never beat it. Once I became adult Link it just became too hard to the point where I would restart the game over & over and play until I became adult Link and would just give up. Eventually, I got older and branched out into other games, leaving my N64 behind. It wasn't until 3 years ago, when my Dad was moving out of my childhood home in Omaha, Nebraska that I found my old N64 in a closet along with Ocarina of Time. I hadn't seen the console in about 10 years, but I took it home to my apartment in Lincoln and vowed to finally beat Ocarina of Time. I spent the next month playing the game & was immediately brought back to my childhood. I was amazed how well the game held up today. Finally beating the game after all these years was a very emotional moment for me. I thought back about how my mom once sewed me a Link outfit so I could run around the backyard and play Zelda. My mom isn't with me anymore as she died 5 years before I beat this game and it seems silly how emotional finally beating this adventure made me because she knew how crazy I was about this game was when I was younger. Finally beating it felt like getting closure for a chapter of my childhood. Like Link, the task at hand was too difficult for the childhood version of me to complete. I had to wait until I was older to finish the task. Safe to say, I've never had that kind of experience with any video game, movie, song or any other form of media before or since.
thank you for sharing such an awesome memory of this :)
thanks for bringing me back to the 90s Glenn... love youre story
and thank you for watching!
I almost cry watching your review and listening to your memories about your quest in acquiring Zelda. You make me remembered of my childhood and how it was to have a most wanted game back on that time. Tks for this awesome video and, most important, tks so very much to unlock those memories of my great players day. (:
Thanks Amanda I hope you have some fun memories 👍
Gleen you gave us an early Christmas gift... Thank you(almost crie)
haha thanks Angel, last video of the year I think so have a great Christmas fella!
This was a Awesome Epic Review. Thanks 4 the travel back down memory lane. The Hero of Time would be PROUD
Thanks cool dog
intro to this video about how you got the game was fantastic … great video !
Wow I’m getting the feels listening to this . Thank you for this amazing review and retrospective
I remember the day l got legend of zelda ocarina of time it was such a special game from start to finish the atmosphere of the game was incredible and the way they did Ganondorf was amazng.
Ganondorf looked so badass in this
@@n64glennplant Twilight Princess would want a word with you.
This was an amazing video. I loved your story about guilt tripping the store clerk into selling you a copy. I can totally relate.
Haha thanks for watching Bio 😬
The memories hit my right in my feels alongside the sentimental music you’re playing. I got this game for my birthday the year it was released. All of my friends had the game and it’s all we played and discussed for months. There was so much to do and see. I don’t think there will ever be another game equal to Ocarina of Time in impact and sheer joy to play. I’ve never felt the same way about a game since. Thanks for the video Glenn. I’m a long time sub and I’m enjoying the content!
thanks Page, its always fun for me to hear from those with similar experiences to me
Thank you for sharing your Christmas ‘98 story. Brought back some wonderfully fond memories for me
Glad to have done that!
@@n64glennplant aw Glen I’m honoured! To give a little more insight, I was only 5 in Christmas 98, but I’m in England too and I played this for Christmas that year. To know my dad would have had to go through something similar for me really hits home.
Keep up the great content 👍🏼👍🏼
Ocarina of time is more then a game . It was and still is a big part of my life . I’ll never forget 1998
I remember sending my mum to Toys R Us to queue up on release day at about 7am lol. She still brings it up to this day. Mad how times change. Back then you had the release dates in N64 Magazine and if I remember correctly the release date listed in there wasn't definitely confirmed until the game actually was on the shelves. What a great review. That intro music will never not take me straight back to Christmas 98
What a great memory and it is funny how she still remembers but just shows how much she cares about you! 👍
I love that you had a similar experience to mine, and were able to share that so vividly. I miss this game being new and fresh and the talk of the town, so this video and your shared experience is really an awesome thing. I am sorry you had such a hard time getting the game though. Me and my brother managed to get it Christmas of 98. I remember to this day the feeling of the title screen coming on while we sat in front of the tv for the next several mornings seeing this incredible story come to life with what we had believed at the time were the best graphics ever. I still believe the game is fun, engaging, and beautiful. Thanks for refreshing that experience with this video it was a real treat.
Just noticed you published this video on my birthday! I'm really glad I found your channel. This is my favorite game of all time! Bought it when I was 11 years old, it was the first game I saved up for and bought brand new. What a great review!
thank you for watching and happy belated birthday!
Ocarina of Time was one of my favourite video games as a kid. I was a 2000's kid, but I definitely had a Nintendo 64. Although I rarely played my Nintendo 64, I get a nostalgia overload when I hear the music of this game or see gameplay footage of it. The nostalgia is so intense for me that I literally start crying. Yes, it's that beautiful! Ocarina of Time will always have a special place in my heart. 😊
I have dear memories of zelda Ocarina of Time. I was roughly 5-7 years old during the time my father played it a few nights a week. I was to sit on the couch with him and talk with him about the game. It took us so much time to figure out we had to play ping pong with ganondorf at the end haha! As a kid Hyrule's world felt immersive and nearly real. I was scarred to death of the mumies in the crypts and the market as adult link haha.
I just found your channel yesterday when I searched for Mischief Makers, a game that I loved but few people have heard of. Since then I've watched all of your videos of my favourite N64 games (Diddy Kong Racing, Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and Zelda OOT) and each time your commentary has been spot on. You really encapsulate what it was like to play these games growing up and so each video is a wonderful walk down memory lane. But it feels even deeper than just nostalgia, because these games became a part of me and shaped me, and you're the first youtuber I've found to really get that because you've experienced the same thing. Thank you so much for your videos. I love them.
Thanks Lisa - glad I could bring some enjoyment to you in these dark times and help you remember happier memories 😄
Man, I'm so happy I stumbled on this channel. Such great content.
Thanks and welcome! I’ll be back soon enough with new content here I’m just taking a break for a period
I love the Water Temple. I take satisfaction from being faced by puzzles that really challenges me and being lost and confused, having to backtrack and try different things is essential part of that experience. I simply love it.
you're the first person in the comments to say they liked it, its not so bad now but back then man did it drive me nuts
@@n64glennplant I also love the atmosphere of the temple. It's both serene and oppressing. Constant switching of the boots was not fun though
I liked it too. I got lucky and stumbled upon the key that is located at the bottom of the central pillar. That was the one my brothers got stuck on. Then i was stumbling around and found he place in the back of the dark link area. Those two were the hardest I think. I also didn’t mind the whole switching gear thing. Never even thought about it back then lol.
I have never met another person who feels the same way as me. This game was all I had. It is the reason I'm doing the things in life I want to do. I really wish they made this into a VR because I just wish I could live in the game. It has been a really important part of my life since I was 6 years old. I'm 16 now. I watch the sunrise while listening to the games soundtrack. I have so many sentimental memories with this game and Legend Of Zelda is still my favorite gaming series although NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING can beat ocarina of Time. I remember being a little kid sitting on the edge of my bed playing this while the sunrise shined on me and the game system while I played. I want my N64 and my OoT to be buried with me.
I've matured into a young adult but I still play it. And remember all my memories as I go along. I wish I could go back and watch myself playing it in the sunrise or even playing with myself as a kid.
Beautifully done, also my personal favorite game of all time. The amount of nostalgia this game and it's music brings me is truly breathtaking, it was such a big part of my childhood. Thank you for this.
I’ve watched this review so many times. I genuinely appreciate this video. Listening to it has helped me through some difficult times where I needed to hear a familiar nostalgic video of a game that brings me back to happier times. You should really do one for Majoras mask or another Zelda game!
Thank you - I did majoras mask at the end of last year ✌️
Thank you for this trip to my childhood😢. all the feelings you described are exactly the same for me. I am 35 years old and i got a 3 year old son, i have kept the console and the game to let him experience this amazing game one day. I don’t think that he’ll appreciate it though 😁
I hope that one day he will live old enough to enjoy this, im only a little younger than yourself and have no kids but maybe one day - if not my kid will able to watch this video and all my other ones and know what it meant to me
This was it my friends, for those who got this game in the sweet spot between infancy and teenager years: the adventure of our lifetime.
It really was. If I played it now I would be flooded with memories and emotions.
Beautiful review. I understand the struggle. Thanks for sharing.
A very touching and informative retrospective and review! I did buy this game back in the day but I’ve never finished it or really give it the time it truly deserves. Your review has inspired me to finally play it from start to finish!
I hope you one day get the same sense of enjoyment as the games final credits roll
Agreed with the nostalgia point. It's my ultimate sanctuary game.
switch it on and switch off from life!
Here I am, on the launch day of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Switch, after a long day and I think it can't get any better... then I see that Glenn Plant has reviewed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and I drop everything to watch it; I regret nothing as the video is nothing short of spectacular and captures exactly how I feel about the game as well. Thank you for the review, your personal memories of getting the game around launch time and for continuing to put out genuinely engaging content; I was unboxing my copy of Smash but I still listened intently to the entire video and enjoyed rewatching all of those great moments which I remembering in the game from my own childhood as well.
I'm off to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate now but I reckon I'll be playing as Link for the first battle in honour of this momentous occasion.
haha let me know how you're liking smash - looks awesome
Well, after a few nights of playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I can indeed confirm that it is an amazing entry in the series which definitely lives up to its name. I did start out playing as Link in classic mode in the end and just that small selection of stages, culminating in a brutal but rewarding final battle (which I won't spoil) was more than enough to get the old feeling of nostalgia going, further increasing the levels of hype after the intro (I still think Super Smash Bros. Melee's intro is the best though) and after that things have only gotten better the more I play.
I've put a few hours into the single player Adventure mode World of Light most recently, the amount of content on offer just in this one mode is staggering, there's easily enough content to keep you playing just that for a week or two if you're just dipping into it for a few hours at a time each night. Unlocking all of the characters will take a while as well, seeing as you start off with just the original starting roster from the original Super Smash Bros. on the N64, they seem to have made the "challenger approaching" battles trickier in some ways, but it definitely feels earned when you win; I honestly think you'll enjoy this game a lot Glenn when you hopefully decide to get a Switch... if you haven't caved in and got one already that is.
There are plenty of references to both N64 Zelda titles, one of my favourite stages is still Great Bay from Majora's Mask and it looks even better than ever in this version, the Moon in the sky looks even more menacing than before (if that's even possible) plus let's not forget that it's an assist trophy this time, Tingle looks even more... well... Tingle-like (alas, still no fairy has come to him yet) and it's all as glorious as you'd expect.
Are you planning on playing many N64 games over Christmas? I reckon I'll be trying out some Goldeneye X in multiplayer with any luck, it has been too long since my brothers and I played any N64 multiplayer titles and that needs to change.
This is a such a beautiful and personal review. Just hearing the passion took me back to playing this for the first time over the period of months. It felt like it was a big part of my life as well. Awesome work!
Thank you for this Glenn. It's clear that this video and the love for the game comes from your heart.
indeed it was - thanks for watching really appreciate it
I loved running into the owl as well, then found it kind of sad when he wouldn’t show up as adult link until the sand temple where he just flies away and you are able to see him
you know its Rauru the sage? pretty cool how they did that, like he's always watching to make sure Link succeeds
Thank you so much for this video Glenn! :')
For me, the best and most influental game ever made.. With memories that will last forever
And thank you for watching Gustav!
You described my first play through completely, hearing you talk about this game brought me right back to 1998-1999.
All i have to say is thanks for this wonderfull review. I was totally with you on that crazy skateboard run that must have been.
Thanks davide I appreciate that
OH.MY.GOD. ITS HERE.
indeed big will!
That drug deal reference XD dude you are THE BEST lol
lol thanks Russell - glad you dug it!
Loved the part about the game story and the background music... amazing video. Ocarina of time has special meaning to me as well, every year around christmas till this day i replay it as i did when i was a child.. my grandmother got me the game when it came out and i was in love.
that a great memory, thank you for sharing it
This is your best work and that’s saying something for me because I love this channel.
thanks Nugget, really appreciate the kind words :)
Cool . Gonna be eating taco and enjoy this 👌
hope you enjoyed them!
Greatest game ever, I first played this when I was 9 years old and this game has had an impact on my life unlike any other form of media. To this day whenever I hear the music of OOT it takes me to another time a much simpler time. I honestly feel bad for millennials because they will never experience gaming from this era. The legend of Zelda the Ocarina of Times is single handedly the greatest video game ever made,Koji Keep Kondo is a fucking God.
sounds like we agree on so many elements lowji!
maybe even the f-in kind
Many Millennials are literally in their 30’s.
I’m 25 and a millennial and I grew up with this game (granted, I was 6-7) but it’s still one of my most formative memories.
The youngest millenials are in their early 20s now. Almost all millenials were of age to play this game when it was released. This game belongs solidly to millenials.
Rex Erection I’m 26, lol. The Wii came out when I was 13. Been playing games since I was 4-5. Grew up with the N64 and GameCube.
EXCELLENT review man
thank you Erik!
Your reviews are very touching. Keep up the great job.
Thanks jack
This, Blast Corps, and Body Harvest were games I spent countless hours playing.
Cemetery Breeze Body Harvest... hell yes
body harvest needs to come back
Some great games. I loved Body Harvest but I remember getting near the end of Java and sliding down the edge of a mountain and having to go back to the last save point which was about an hour and a half where I was previous :)
Best game of all time. I was 8 and half years old when I got this. It was such an adventure but still being young also a struggle and a challenge that at the time I'm sure was annoying but looking back now that's exactly how it should be. I didn't complete the game until years after I got it sometimes giving up as I wasn't sure what to do or how to do it. This only made my experience and connection to the game stronger. Like Glen said in this video when I finally did complete it I was emotional, like a part of my life had just ended and things would never be the same again. As if I had really went from childhood to adulthood via this game. It holds so many special memories of wider life and family at that time and that makes it the BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!
I loved this video ,i had a very similar story of getting my hands on the game and remember playing it for the first time so clearly. feel like everyone remembers where they were and that time in there lives the first time they played this game. Will always be my favourite game!!!!! Best look back video ive seen on it yet !!!!!
This is literally how I feel with this game. Was a perfect time of my life and that transition from kid to young man... We never knew how good we had it. Congratulations on your new born Glenn and thanks for taking me back to a simpler time
Where did you live in Spain, Glenn? I'm from Seville and I always remember thinking "wait, this Gerudo music seems kind of flamenco"
Tenerife and gran canaria for 2 years :) seville has the best oranges :)
@@n64glennplant Great places to live!
great review.
thanks vamp!
@N64 Glenn Plant You're very welcome! Are you going to be reviewing Majora's Mask at some point or did you already make a review of it?
I just started this game for the 1st time ever. I had an N64 but somehow overlooked this work of art.
Great review!
thats crazy, you must play this now :)
fantastic review, Glenn. there are countless reviews of this game, but this might the best one I've watched.
thats high praise Ifi - really appreciate that feedback
The greatest game ever made. I love this game so much I can barely watch this video because the nostalgia is overwhelming. Nothing has come close to this masterpiece in all my years of playing video games. The way you explain it at the beginning is exactly how I feel. Makes me happy hearing that others feel the same way. Thank you
Having to re-watch this now seen as i was late to it yesterday! And yes it's the best game ever made and to ever be made period! For 20 years now it's been voted best game of all time!...Here's to another 20 more years! Definitely needs a remake for the Nintendo Switch
I would love that, I just wish they'd give this a proper HD remaster and throw in the Ura Zelda stuff they worked on and complete it fully
Totally agree, it's crying out for it. Literally about to re-set up my N64 to play it now seen as though plans of going out tonight have backfired :/ . Time feel like the 14 year old that i was back in the day playing it for the first time ever.. And did i ever get a bollocking that day too! I played it for a solid 14 hour straight and my mother went ballistic at me for it!
Your review is such an experience that so many of us can relate to. I remember days waiting to come home from school just to play, the game felt so real. I miss that. I remember a Saturday morning when I got up early and every cartoon station had infomercials and I spent hours catching a 36" fish in the quite pond near the marine biologists lab.
Fishing in the game was always such a fun past time
Great review, Glenn! I remember getting the game that Christmas and having very similar feelings with regards to the coming of age. It still has a place in my heart as one of the most important games and experiences I've ever had.
This actually is the best video game of all time. Real emotional investment, real deep top tier music, and when you finished it, the game truly felt like a best friend! Remember when video games were like reading a great novel and how it felt like a "best friend"? Now, games feel more like a school bully that lies to you and picks on you for more money, or a fake friend who you share no emotional connection with.
Damn dude. Truth.
20 years ago i've got this gem as a christmas present along with a N64 from my parents.
And now i'm waiting for my rgb modded (hdmi was way to expensive, for now)to arrive, so i can play this game again on real hardware and original Software.
I just ordered the HDMI mod and cant wait to install it. I have seen RGB mods and they look great.
im surprised you found someone who'd sell you just the board!
When I finally got this game at Walmart the cardboard was warped and dust was on it yet it was one of the earlier copies of the game and to this day there’s always been mystery in it. For example I can’t find the hidden lore or different types of fish when going fishing in the game. I also a few years back had my Nintendo 64 RGB modded looks great brighter colors and a sharper image.
Great review, love the soundtrack choices in this review. 1998 was a great Christmas for me got everything I asked for. Turok 2 , Expansion Pak, green official controller, F Zero X, Space Station Silicon Valley and this which made it the best Christmas ever. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
and you too Marc - that sounded like an epic Christmas!
One of the best reviews I've watched. I loved your story associated with the game. Makes me think about all my stories with my games. You earned my sub sir.
Welcome manny And thank you, I try to add my personal memories to be a little different which some people seem to dig ✌️
The Legend Of Zelda : Ocarina Of Time is the best game ever made! Awesome video! :)
couldn't agree more in my own opinion
Cool!
Ehhh It is a good game, but I wouldnt call it the best
