The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is an epic action-adventure game from Nintendo that was released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64 and is still considered one of the most influential and best video games of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the first game in the Zelda series to feature full 3D graphics and set new standards in terms of game world, storytelling and gameplay.

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the player takes on the role of Link, a young hero from the Kokiri Forest who is chosen to protect the kingdom of Hyrule from the dark lord Ganondorf. With the help of the Ocarina of Time, Link travels through time, grows from a boy into a young adult and must master ancient temples, solve puzzles, fight enemies and find allies.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time combines freely explorable 3D environments with clever dungeon design, innovative battles and a dense, emotional story. The newly introduced targeting system (Z-Targeting) revolutionized the control of 3D battles and made precise action possible - a system that is still often copied today.

Graphically, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time impressed with its atmospheric world, which ranges from green forests to gloomy temples and vast plains. The iconic soundtrack in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by Koji Kondo - including melodies such as the title music, "Zelda's Lullaby" or the Hymn of Time - remains unforgettable.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is more than just a game - it is a milestone in video game history that has shaped generations of players with its deep gameplay, magical world and emotional journey.
