You begin your quest in the Korkiri forest before you start a series of well made cut scenes will be shown, the SFX in some of the cut scenes are truly spectacular. When the series of cut scenes are finished you have to find the korkiri sword that’s hidden somewhere in the forest you also have to find a shield that’s also hidden somewhere, otherwise Mido leader of the Korkiri will not let you past.
Next you have to make your way to the great Deku tree, who gave birth to the forest and all it’s contents. Then there’s another set of cut scenes, then finally you start your quest, wandering through loads of different areas and slashing a wide variety of enemy’s.
Some of the weapons you get are really handy such as the hook shot.
All the way through the game you’ll find new weapons you can add to you’re arsenal. Go on let the suckers ‘ave it.
The controls are the best I’ve ever seen in a game there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, they’ve been made to perfection.
The Graphics are superb the one of the only n64 game I’ve seen with these brilliant graphics is Goldeneye. And if this game weren’t made by Nintendo I could’ve sworn it was made by rare, because you very rarely see graphics of especially not from Nintendo.
There’s also a series of what you could call “mini-games” you can go fishing, there’s also a sort of target practice game. There’s loads of ‘em so if you get bored of fighting the grunts you could wander about and try to find some of them.
The object of the first game is to find all the spiritual stones, that should be easy enough one thinks!!! Then once you find them all you make a mad dash for the catsle, only to find Zelda being taken to saftey by her guardian shortly followed by Ganondorf, the evil King Of Thieves. Then there’s another cut scene. When that’s done you take the stones and the Ocarina of time you just found to the Temple of Time to begin the next part of your quest and a unbelievable transformation.
By far this next bit you are about to encounter will be the most magical moment in the game, this must’ve taken a up a lot of Nintendo’s time in making this game.
When you get in the Temple Of Time you’ll be spoken to by Zelda through the Ocarina’s magic powers, she teaches you a new song, The Song Of Time. You will use this song to open the doors of the Sacred Realm, Then the amazing transformation begins, Link’s spirit is sealed in the realm for seven years, when Link wakes up you discover that he is no longer a child, he’s and adult. In the next cut scene that is shown you meet a Great Sage who will tell you of how the world was created and what you must do to save it.
Now when you re-enter the Temple of time Zelda will appear disguised as a Shiek she’ll also tell you a story, eventually you will find out that you can pull up the master sword to go from one time to another. Hmm a bit of time travelling eh? What’ll this wonderful game Nintendo so kindly gave to us throw up next?
The second part of the quest begins here. You dash through the more levels completing yet more objectives. If you think this is going to be any easier than the first part of the game you can think again.
Finally you face Ganondorf in the catsle You think you’re finished? Well YOU’RE WRONG; he transforms into a really mean looking beast. (Man he must be having a really bad day!) Then finally when you polish him off you’ve finished the game. Hat’s of to you if you when you finish this superbly made game.
So to sum it all up, this game is arguably one of the best video games ever made and that’s hardly surprising considering it’s high quality graphics, great gameplay, the best controls I’ve ever seen and a whole lot of originality all packed into the one cartridge. How did Nintendo do it?
I hope you enjoyed reading this!
> The best Zelda game was on the SNES. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past.
DX on the GB was ok!
I wonder why? if it's because it's too long i'll try and keep it short nextime.

For any of you thinking of doing away with Zelda64 DON'T, you should tresure this masterpiece.
I found this game hard to but a kept at it and I completed it.
