"Ocarina of Time" is

one of the most important games

ever released,

so of course every gamer should experience it!

Its influence on the action-adventure genre can still be seen today,

yet itself still plays tremendously well.

Everything from its music to its lore,

from its characters to its puzzles,

enchanted us then.

And remarkably, they still do.

Set up as a simple good vs. evil story

in a fantasy world,

it subtly explores

the loss of childhood and innocence,

as well as the sacrifice

that comes from answering a higher calling.

Its levels and characters, whether big or small, remain some of the most iconic in the medium.

If you've never played it,

you're missing out on something truly extraordinary.
