The Story
For nearly two decades, every single 'greatest game of all time' list had Ocarina at the top. Nintendo translated the top-down Zelda adventure into a 3D world without losing any depth — and invented Z-targeting, a lock-on combat system so well-designed it's still being copied. The time-travel narrative, the scale of Hyrule Field on first view, the Water Temple that every player has a story about — Ocarina of Time is the reference implementation of what a 3D adventure game should be.
