The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (2026) review
I have a friend who first played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time back in the day, when the game was only just released and he was home from university for Christmas.
I have a friend who first played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time back in the day, when the game was only just released and he was home from university for Christmas.
The short version
- This is objectively the best of all times to play any video game: not Christmas specifically, but dropped out of the regular world and faced with a few weeks filled with nothing pressing to do whatsoever.
- Years later, though, my friend told me that the magic of the game didn't just come down to the playing of it, but the way that the playing of it unfolded.
- He'd play all day, curtains drawn, family ignored, working through dungeons and pelting across Hyrule Field on Epona.
What happened
Then in the evening he'd call his girlfriend, who was back with her own family for Christmas. She always wanted to know what he'd got up to that day.
Why it matters
And not in East Sussex; she wanted to know what he'd got up to in Hyrule.
