Comments on: Retrospective Remembrance: The Ocarina of Time http://www.zeldauniverse.net/articles/reviews/retrospective-remembrance-the-ocarina-of-time/ All the Zelda info you need. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:39:00 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: tendorphin http://www.zeldauniverse.net/articles/reviews/retrospective-remembrance-the-ocarina-of-time/comment-page-1/#comment-1999 tendorphin Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:50:04 +0000 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/?p=2437#comment-1999 This was a great game, and a great review. The only thing I feel you looked over was the story of the creation of Hyrule. That cinematic was, for me, the point of no return. I have, since about 2 years of age, romped in the lands of Hyrule. However, up until this point, it was just a virtual place on my tv screen. I loved it, don't get me wrong. I have always been in love with Hyrule, but after seeing the creation. The care the goddesses took to make everything, and their selves that they gave up to give it the life they so desired was immensely immersive for me. The fact that Miyamoto, and the others, went to the lengths to give us this background which was wholly unnecessary to the plot (except for connecting us more with Hyrule, as you have stated) filled me with awe. It was that point which I realized this wasn't just a story. It was a world which the creators loved, and wished for me to love as well. This was a great game, and a great review.

I used to play OoT when I was little, and reading this brought back a lot of memorable moments, like the death of the Great Deku Tree. Kudos for you! I would also like to note that your humour and extensive use of vocabulary was top-notch! As for the person who said "Pfft", I'm going to shred you into pieces!!1!!!

Great review, though I really think you should have done this in advance so you wouldn't lose sleep and have to rush this. Barinade’s a tumor, not Jabu-Jabu’s brain.

As I said commenting on Lefty's article, I was only four when OoT was released so the first time I played it it wasn't as difficult as older gamers will remember. Still, it captivated me and entertained me, and it's one of the best damn games I've ever played. And kate: What??? A beautifully written tribute to a great video game.

Best game ever, not only in terms of sentimental value. The storyline and everything, it boarders perfection. Oh how I wish Nintendo would make a remake of this game with graphics in TP style. This review is made of pure win, and I admire you for managing to stay awake for so long! But I should also thank you for writing this. It brought back many, many good memories. OoT will last forever. Ah, OoT brings so many childhood memories… Best game ever, not only in terms of sentimental value. The storyline and everything, it boarders perfection.
