Twenty years ago, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time launched on the N64. Many would say that it is among the most influential games in history.
Ocarina of Time has been praised since its original release for taking what was previously a 2D-only adventure series and perfectly making the transition to 3D. Nintendo also came up with significant mechanics that are still used today, including Z-targeting during combat. Nintendo’s classic remains one of the most highly-rated titles of all time.
