For its time Ocarina of Time was second to none. But now it looks very ordinary when compared to games released 10 years later. Graphics and technology have improved significantly and people's tastes change over time. 10 years from now the top games at the moment will look crap and we will say: "What were we thinking?". Comparing games from the past is not fair to compare with games from the present.

Ocarina of Time is regarded as a classic retro game that was launched on the Nintendo 64 back in 1998. The first 3-D Zelda game. It is not necessarily the best Zelda game ever but it was the first 3-D Zelda game on the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64 stands out due to being the first 3-D Mario game.

Being the first of its kind and bringing in a new era of gaming- 3-D gaming. Ocarina of Time is memorable and gamers remember it for being ahead of its time. Games are generally rated against competition available on the market. Ocarina of Time was a unique game and it deservedly received high scores for being the best platform/action game.
