The Master Sword, the Triforce, Ganondorf's rise to power, the presence of the Sages, the rise of the Hero of Time and the mysterious timeline split are all widely discussed and debated topics in the Zelda universe, and Ocarina of Time is mostly responsible for those discussions. Furthermore, the proposed timeline from the Hyrule Historia book suggests that there is in fact a third line of history spanning from Ocarina of Time, as opposed to the assumed two lines coming from the child and adult endings. The lore of Ocarina of Time is delicate as it has connections to many other titles in the Legend of Zelda series, and so it is imperative that we all have a clear understanding of the history it presents, as well as all the game's story and themes, in order to have a strong grasp on the lore of Hyrule throughout the series in its entirety.
Nintendo's classic action-adventure game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is set to receive a fanmade port for the Sega Dreamcast.
Gary Green said: Being a writer exclusively for PlayStation is immensely rewarding, yet it does have its drawbacks. It was easy enough to distance myself from the ever decreasing number of Xbox exclusives, yet parting ways with Nintendo was hard, and it only got harder over time. Sooner or later, I knew I'd be back, and as I frantically search for the most efficient and cost-effective ways to play the Nintendo classics which I've missed out on over the years, revisiting the best of the best comes first.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came out during a time where every console had its charms. Whether you were team Sega, Nintendo, or Sony, everyone knew the game's potential, and the players who invested in Nintendo's chunky N64 console were not disappointed. Like Sega's ill-fated Saturn, it may have been a console which lacked in quantity of games, but the quality was certainly there.
Ocarina of Time was a game that was hard to put down. We would bounce home excitedly from high school, ready to wander the lands of Hyrule once again to find another secret or two, before preparing ourselves to tackle that next intimidating dungeon. It's time to retell this story. Ready your ocarina.
Yes, this is one of the true masterpieces that I believe every core gamer should play.
It even holds up to this day.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
