Story:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth main installment of The Legend of Zelda series and the first to be released for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the most highly anticipated games of its age, and is listed among the greatest video games ever created by numerous websites and magazines. The gameplay of Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for its time, it has arguably made more of an impact on later games in the series than any of its predecessors even though they had the same cores of exploration, dungeons, puzzles and item usage. Among the gameplay mechanics, one of the most noteworthy is the time-traveling system. The game begins with the player controlling the child Link, but later on an adult Link becomes a playable character as well and each of them has certain unique abilities. Ocarina of Time also introduces the use of music to solve puzzles: as new songs are learned, they can be used to solve puzzles, gain access to new areas and warp to different locations. Dungeon exploration is somewhat more puzzle-oriented than in earlier games but they are not too complex.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.3 853
Favorite game of all time! Would love to see this on PC but those sneaky Nintendo Ninjas make this just a simple "in theory" vote! Will never happen but a man can dream!
One of my two favorite titles from The Legend Of Zelda franchise, my brother played this game on the N64 when it came out back in the late 90s. I would have my chance to try it out when my family got our first Nintendo Gamecube which came with the promotional disk that had this game as well as Majora's Mask on it. It's a classic and probably one of the most well-known titles of the franchise.
i still own the original 64 version and the 3ds version still one of many zelda games i own that i really enjoyed playing as a kid. still hate bongo bongo dungeon i still had one of my friends beat that dumb boss for me. i can't do it myself if my life depended on it rofl! XD all in all great game and still love playing the ocarina. love the songs and everything else.
No way Nintendo will allow this, lmfao. If they do, this would be the greatest thing to have ever happened in the PC gaming industry. but alast, nintendo isn't going to.
This one is just a no brainer you GOTTA preserve this one. It's one of the top 10 games of all time ever made agreed upon by pretty much every gaming magazine and media publisher. If you can get Nintendo to actually give the okay on it, DO IIIIIIIIIIIIT!
This game smells of summer and laughs. I don't often voice my opinion on boards like this, but I felt the need for this one.
This game is special. I have so many fond memories playing with friends and family.
If we could bring this and more Nintendo titles to GoG, I would be over the moon.
I consider this my favorite Zelda game of the whole series. Surprised to see Nintendo games on this list, but some more that others should still be preserved for the future. Can't really add much that many already know, but it is one of THE best games out there and still holds up. As for my favorite girl, it would be Ruto.
Like many others, I would love to see an actually remake of the game. Maybe expand the world and dungeons and maybe the story and characters more. I would love if they put some dating simulation to the game so you can date AND maybe go on the adventure with the different girls, of course Ruto would be my first choice. This would bring a TON of replay value and change the plot to the game and the endings.
This had the most memorable sound tracks, and there was such an exciting sense of adventure playing this! The best part was there was less play throughs to watch if any and i didn't even know cheat sheets wear a thing in games lol I just played and explored in the world and that was awesome!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
