The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, often shortened to Ocarina of Time, is the fifth installment of The Legend of Zelda series, and it was released on the Nintendo 64 in late 1998. It is the first title of the series to feature 3D graphics. In 2000, the game received a direct sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Prior to its release, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was one of the most highly anticipated games of its time. Upon its release, the game won numerous awards, and many publications placed it on lists of the greatest video games of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released on a 32-megabyte cartridge, which was the largest capacity Nintendo had produced at that time. It also introduced the target-lock system and context-sensitive buttons, which have subsequently appeared both in later The Legend of Zelda titles and similar games of its type, such as Star Fox Adventures.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time eventually received a few ports, and even had its own remake for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
