Fable  Microsoft (Lionhead Studios;Big Blue Box Studios)2004[i]Fable[/i] is a ground-breaking role-playing adventure game from Peter Molyneux, in which your every action determines your skills, appearance, and reputation. Create your life story from childhood to death. Grow from an inexperienced adolescent into the most powerful being in the world. Choose the path of righteousness or dedicate your life to evil. Muscles expand with each feat of strength; force of will increases with each work of wit. Obesity follows gluttony, skin tans with exposure to sunlight and bleaches bone-white by moonlight. Earn scars in battle and lines of experience with age. Each person you aid, each flower you crush, each creature you slay, will change this world forever. [i]Fable[/i]: Who will you be?

[b]Features[/b]
* Forge a hero based on your actions: Age and evolve a hero or villain through the actions you choose and the path you follow--be it for good, evil, or in-between. Ply the way of the sword, and see your muscles bulge. Weave the dark arts, and witness power crackle at your fingertips. Skulk in the shadows, and watch your skin bleach.
* Engage in intense real-time combat: Collect battle scars as you duel with a world of cunning foes and deadly creatures. Master an array of deadly weaponry as you hone the art of blade-craft. Hunt your quarry using subterfuge and stealth. Weave death from the elements, as you harness the dark arts of the arcane.
* Build your living legend: Through deeds and actions, build a name for yourself across the land. Recruit allies and followers. Gain glory or notoriety. Make friends and enemies. Interact with a living world of people, places, and event all reactive to you. Hero or butcher? Who will you be?
* Explore and shape a living, evolving world: Champion or manipulate an ever-changing land with competitive and cooperative heroes, dynamic weather systems, and deformable environments. Interact with teeming cultures, creatures, and citizens from various towns and cities.
* Hone your character with scores of unique skills and extras: Master new abilities and add possessions as you develop.
* Never play the same game twice: Once you finish your adventure, go back and try the experience again, forging your character and thereby a new tale with unexpected twists and turns, new skills, powers, influences, allies and enemies.***Relesed September 14, 2004. Follow one character from birth to death, every action you take affects your characters's stats but also their physical appearance. Get a tan or sunburn, pump your muscles or grow fat, get tattoos, get scars, build your rep. Play again for a totally different character and experience. An interesting note about this game, since no two characters are ever exactly alike or even a single characters the same from moment to moment, there are a increasing number of tricks, artful dodges, cheats, etc, for this game that will not work for everyone every time.

Fable: The Lost Chapter Microsoft (Lionhead Studios)2005[b]werewolves[/b] - called balverines within the game mythos
[b]aging[/b] - visual only, has no effect on gameplay. Stops eventually when he's old and white-haired.***First person perspective is only for using bow, and that's only for better accuracy, has basically no use later in the game unless you really want to waste time doing headshots instead of just filling their bodies with arrows (which you have an endless supply of).***Based on the best selling award winning Xbox title "Fable", "Fable: The Lost Chapters" is now fully optimized for the Windows platform complete with expanded content, greater customization, new quests and enhanced graphics. In this groundbreaking role-playing adventure game from Lionhead Studios, your every action determines your character's skills, appearance and morality. Your character's life story is created from childhood through to adulthood and on to old age. Grow from an inexperienced child into the most powerful being in the world, spoken of by all and immortalized in legend. As additional story and side quests await, choose the path of righteousness, or dedicate your life to evil, and see yourself transform into a reflection of your actions and decisions. Age leaves you wizened and battle leaves you scarred as you explore the world of Albion and the plethora of expanded and enhanced content.

With experience comes advancement and physical change, whether it be expanding muscles, a keen eye and nimble form, or the buzz of magical energies around your finger tips. As you develop your alter ego, the world reacts to you and your actions. People comment on your successes and failures, your appearance, and your behavior. "Fable: The Lost Chapters" offers Windows gamers even more character customization choices that will impact your appearance. The denizens of Albion's many opinions are expressed through applause, mockery, trepidation, panic, and even flirtation if they feel so inclined. Each person you aid, each flower you crush, each creature you slay, will change this world forever. In "Fable: The Lost Chapters", gamers decide: "Who will I be?"

Fable: The Lost Chapters Microsoft (Lionhead Studios;Big Blue Box Studios)2005This was an expanded re-release of [game=#155049]Fable[/game].

And according to Wikipedia, the changes were as follows:
[spoiler=Show;Hide]* Five new silver keys, and a few more silver key chests.
* Two new suits of armor — the "Fire Assassin" suit, which is very similar to the normal assassin suit but with a red cloth and designs, and the armor of Archon, which is a shinier and stronger version of the standard plate armor in the game.
* A new torso armor — The hooded guild apprentice shirt.
* Two new offensive spells — "Divine Fury" and "Infernal Wrath"; area of effect spells which deal large amounts of damage to opponents in the player's radius.(some spells look slightly different, such as Assassin's Rush now bearing a blue after-effect instead of a white one).
* Briar Rose; a hero who was almost entirely scrapped from the original release, is now included in several main quests and side quests.
* Scythe; another hero who was cut from the original game, is now a primary character in the new end game, and appears early in the game based on the player's actions.
* Jack of Blades; the main antagonist, has a deeper, more demonic-sounding voice as opposed to his original roguish tone, and he has a more explored background.
* Jack of Blades transforms into a dragon, the new final boss.
* Several new demon doors.
* The Northern Wastes, which were cut from the original release, are back. There are about six new locations there, which contain a new town, a demon door, some silver key chests, and an extension of the story.
* The Darkwood Bordello, an area cut from the Darkwood portion of the game. Finding it allows access to a couple of sidequests, a new demon door, behind which is the "Pimp Hat", and of course, the bordello itself. The player has the option of owning the bordello, and making lots of money (for some 'evil' points), or making it a women's refuge (for 'holy' points).
* Several new weapons, including a sword called Avo's Tear, which acts as an opposite to the Sword of Aeons. Avo's Tear can only be acquired by a good character after destroying the Sword of Aeons in what was the original end of the game. The other weapons are: The Bereaver, The Avenger and Orkon's Club.
* The player may now solve the mystery surrounding the death of Lady Grey's sister.
* The player can now become the Mayor of Bowerstone.
* Several new sidequests and minigames.
* New monsters — Ice Trolls, Summoners, Wraiths, and Frost Balverines.
* New actions — The player may now do several new dances, like the Cossack dance and air guitar.
* The Sword of Aeons has had a downgrade to make the new game elements harder yet still remains one of the strongest weapons in the game. (Because of its speed as a light weapon, it can hit much faster as a heavy weapon.) The sword has a damage rate of 230, whereas in the original Fable it had 550.
* The Battle Charge spell no longer affects non-hostile and non-targeted characters.
* Demon Doors on the mini-map are purple instead of red to eliminate confusion between enemies.
* Flourish-charged weapons now glow purple instead of fiery to eliminate confusion of fire-augmented weapons.
* Jack of Blades' mask is no longer a trophy, but a quest item. Depending on the second ending that the player chooses, the mask can either be worn or destroyed. (Once worn, it can never be removed)
* After Jack of Blades is defeated the first time, the Hero Guild is rebuilt and completely accessible.
* Ripples in water are now more continuous instead of "pulses" and have a slightly different look.
* Timers turn red when there are only ten seconds left.
* You can find Whisper at the Oakvale Tavern after the Arena if you choose not to kill her.
* There is now an Oracle in the game which can be asked questions. Once the player reaches the Oracle, it can tell them what has happened to the other characters in the game, such as Whisper and the Hero's sister Theresa, which increases the impact of some of his earlier decisions. It can also talk to the Hero about a number of other topics, including information about Albion's past and where certain monsters come from, the which adds much more lore to the game.
* Bug fixes.[/spoiler]***Follow one character from birth to death, every action you take affects your charactor's stats but also their physical appearence. Get a tan or sunburn, pump your mussles or grow fat, get tattoos, aquire scars, build your rep. Play again for a totally different character and experience.

Fallout 3  Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios)2008A spin and rebirth of the saga, brings back a desolate atmosphere but in FPS-packed-action; neverless, the VATS compensates incredibly for the turn-system action.
Sadly, the story empowers epicness over good story, with immortal characters an black/white characters in general (there are exceptions)
But is important for being the predecessor of Fallout: New Vegas, who is better in every way possible and retakes the old developers of Fallout 1 and 2.

[b]thx-1138[/b] — the number is encountered at least in [i]The Republic of Dave[/i], unconfirmed reference.***Project started in 2004***Description:

Vault-Tec engineers have worked around the clock on an interactive reproduction of Wasteland life for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own vault. Included is an expansive world, unique combat, shockingly realistic visuals, tons of player choice, and an incredible cast of dynamic characters. Every minute is a fight for survival against the terrors of the outside world – radiation, Super Mutants, and hostile mutated creatures. From Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation.

Story:

Vault 101 – Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

Key Features:

* Limitless Freedom! – Take in the sights and sounds of the vast Capital Wasteland! See the great monuments of the United States lying in post-apocalyptic ruin! You make the choices that define you and change the world. Just keep an eye on your Rad Meter!
* Experience S.P.E.C.I.A.L.! – Vault-Tec engineers bring you the latest in human ability simulation – the SPECIAL Character System! Utilizing new breakthroughs in points-based ability representation, SPECIAL affords unlimited customization of your character. Also included are dozens of unique skills and perks to choose from, each with a dazzling variety of effects!
* Fantastic New Views! – The wizards at Vault-Tec have done it again! No longer constrained to just one view, experience the world from 1st or 3rd person perspective. Customize your view with the touch of a button!
* The Power of Choice! – Feeling like a dastardly villain today, or a Good Samaritan? Pick a side or walk the line, as every situation can be dealt with in many different ways. Talk out your problems in a civilized fashion, or just flash your Plasma Rifle.
* Blast ‘Em Away With V.A.T.S.! – Even the odds in combat with the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System for your Pip-Boy Model 3000! V.A.T.S. allows you to pause time in combat, target specific body parts on your target, queue up attacks, and let Vault-Tec take out your aggression for you. Rain death and destruction in an all-new cinematic presentation.
* Mind-Blowing Artificial Intelligence! – At Vault-Tec, we realize that the key to reviving civilization after a global nuclear war is people. Our best minds pooled their efforts to produce an advanced version of Radiant AI, America's First Choice in Human Interaction Simulation. Facial expressions, gestures, unique dialog, and lifelike behavior are brought together with stunning results by the latest in Vault-Tec technology.
* Eye-Popping Prettiness! – Witness the harsh realities of nuclear fallout rendered like never before in modern super-deluxe HD graphics. From the barren Wasteland, to the danger-filled offices and metro tunnels of DC, to the hideous rotten flesh of a mutant's face.

Monster Loves You Radial Games (Radial Games;Dejobaan Games)2013Logrando mezclar lo mono y lo grotesco, aunque no deja de ser simplemente una serie de elecciones y conversaciones, la rejugabilidad y las inmensas posibilidades lo convierten en un juego de lo más simpático.

6 de 10.***Live the life of a Monster, from birth to elderhood and beyond, making decisions that affect the world of Monsters and Humans.

You live in the village of Omen, and your favorite snack is the fingers of small children. As a Monster, you pop up in the most interesting places — what do you do when three angry bears discover a young child in their cabin? Or when you spy a wolf hunting down that woman with the red cloak?

As a Monsterling, your choices are simple ones. Do you chase those poor little mice (+1 Ferocity) or protect them from the dogs (+1 Kindness)? Do you come clean about that fungus your friends ate (+1 Honesty) or cover for them (+1 Bravery)? As a youth, your choices determine your personality.

But all youngins must grow up. Monsters and Humans have been at odds for centuries, and there are Human villages on the other side of the enchanted woods. When Human children get lost in those dark and winding thickets, do you terrorize them for fun (+1 Ferocity)? Do you help return them to Human civilization to prove that not all Monsters are to be feared and hated (+1 Kindness)? Or do you fatten them up for Human foie gras — a Monster delicacy? All this, to the backdrop of increasing tensions between Monster- and Humankind.

Overlord II  Codemasters (Triumph Studios)2009Lo mejor de ser un hijo bastardo de Sauron con odio por todo lo pacífico y bello es poder hacer un enorme viaje turístico buscando a quien quiere acabar con la magia que te da vida, y someter y aplastar todo a tu paso con unos seres tan salvajes como estúpidos, y con un gusto por lo brillante que ni las urracas.

Muy recomendable es revisitar zonas para equipar hasta arriba a tus siervos marrones, y aún más recomendable complacer a todas tus acompañantes.

Sencillo, divertido y adictivo.

8 de 10***[b]prejudice[/b] — most notably in the first level when you play as young Witch-boy. The name is obviously derogatory and many of the adults remark on your odd looks and the other kids actively bully you (though you bully back).
[b]suppression[/b] — any town in your or Glorious Empire's control. Your mind control of the populace is more effective, but the peasants apparently retain their ability to speak with their own mind (which usually involves their poor treatment), they're simply forced to work rather than being controlled absolutely.
[b]unusual protagonist[/b] — human(?) with magic abilities is apparently quite rare, though his skin is also blue and tattooed by nature with glowing eyes and other features that make him look evil. Likely the reason he's called Witch-boy even from early childhood.
[b]possession[/b] — occasionally you get to possess one of your minions so you can direct them in places where your "Imposing Presence" can't quite fit.

--- not applicable (explanations for "why not?")
[url=/groups/info/children]Children[/url] - only encountered during growing phase.

--- notes
* Unlike in the original Overlord game, the protagonist is quite useful in melee combat. You actually deal damage faster than any of your minions to single enemies and large masses, this was reversed in the original where you could barely do anything useful without your minions (besides throwing magic at them).***Note! The internet multiplayer is accomplished solely through a matchmaking service, so you CAN'T play multiplayer online with anyone specific you might want to (fox example, your friends)..***2009-06-25 on Steam (lang: eng, fre, ger, spa, ita, pol)

The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition  Nintendo (EAD Software Development Group 3;Nintendo;Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development)2003ゼルダコレクション is transliteration of "Zelda collection" but reads literally as [code]zeruda korekushon[/code].***[unfinished review]
I have an irrational fear of heights, this fear is occasionally triggered by images, mostly movies in theaters (there's a reason its called an [i]irrational[/i] fear). A couple of Super NES games manages to flip my stomach momently, but I quickly became desensitized in just a few seconds. Certain levels of Mario 64, took weeks before a felt comfortable having Mario approach edges without having him crawling like an infant. But, I got over heights in Mario 64. OoT wasn't near as bad as Mario 64 for me. Probably has something to do with the fact that OoT didn't include sneaky tricks [i]designed[/i] to make the player fall (ie:dead end with the green mushroom in Tall, Tall Mountain). In OoT, I quickly grew comfortable leaping on to the webs to break them, chicken flying and insane shortcut leaps into the Gerudo Valley and inside the Water Temple, etc. So I was not expecting to have a problem when I started playing OoT again GameCube. The most noticeable effect of seeing OoT and MM in progressive scan mode is the enhanced perception of depth of the world of Hyrule. The camera angles and pans during play, but especially in cut scenes, are much more impressive than they look on the N64. As you may have guessed, I'm having a bit of difficulty with OoT and my fear of heights. This is a unique experience for me, I've never had a game trigger my phobia a second time after becoming desensitized. Fortunately, I can appreciate the effect of depth in many place in the game that are not related to Link's height from the ground. For instance, The Camera angles when Link is listening to the Great Deku Tree. It stretches to the sky and talks of the creation of the Hyrule universe, the dangerous times approaching, and how everyone's future depends on YOU. Tree is telling this little child he is Hyrule's savior. Thousand foot tall, progressive scan, Mr. G. D. Tree can't do anything but he's telling a half pint child to fix everything while he's sitting in the dirt. The child's response: he gets up, brushes the dust from his tunic and heads out to do it. Wow, its even better in progressive scan.

[/list]
The WW demo lets you play the 1st sequences of the Forsaken Fortress, Windfall Island and Dragon's Roost. All games can be shown in 640x480p by holding the B button when turning on the GameCube. LoZ and AoL were 320x240i and even thought they are still drawn with 320x240 pixles, 640x480p does make a difference in image clarity. The 3D elements of OoT and MM, which were originally 320x240p and are much more noticeable improved. However, the 2D interface of these games is like LoZ and AoL, is only a slight improvement.

The emulation is not perfect, this most notable in Majora's Mask that can experience lag, graphic glitches and even freeze. Disabling the rumble feature generally improves the emulation. And, most of the same minor shading glitches that are present when running OoT and MM under PC emulators are also present in these GameCube emulations; how curious.

All packages are marked "NOT FOR RESALE" and it was never intended for retail sales. Instead it was made available to customers who pre-purchased GameCube units, purchased various limited edition GameCube bundles, registering a GameCube and two games at Nintendo.com, subscribed or renewed a subscription to Nintendo Power or Club Nintendo, the Stars Catalogue program, or proof of purchases from certain GameCube games. These promotions were different for the various regions and change periodically. Nintendo authorized an official strategy guide and continues to sell copies of the manual. despite the restrictions, some stores blatantly sold packages including only the game that they managed to obtain through manipulating the various promotions. A few authorized outlets continue to offer the unauthorized sale of used copies. This grey market and used game distributing is generally protected by Law in Europe and the USA, but is a risk for the distributor since Nintendo can stop doing business with them. Obviously, Nintendo did not intentionally offer this game to unauthorized (grey market) distributors and retailers directly, the intended distributors and outlets that manipulated promotions are engaged in grey marketing. Despite the relatively large number of this 'limited edition', it is genuinely rarer than most other GameCube games.

Since the original games were produced at various times when Nintendo had various company structures, their are different developers listed. Also, the Actual emulation (digital) repackaging was handled by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development (EAD Team 4) and the US based Nintendo Software Technology Corporation.

[b]Tags[/b][spoiler=alternatetimeline with spoilers;Alternate Time Line with spoilers.]Applies to two games in this collection. First discussed will be the Ocarina of Time. When the Hero of Time removed the Master Sword from it's pedestal in the Temple of Time, he was held in place for 7 years while Gannon used the opened door to get access to the Triforce. But he was only able to gain access to the Triforce of Power, the other two pieces hid themselves from him. Freed seven years later, the Hero of Time found the world devastated by Gannon's war and Hyrule Castle replaced by Gannon's fortress. Due to possessing the Triforce of Power, Gannon became extremely difficult to kill. It is speculated that Gannon wished for immortality and his wish was mostly granted, but not quite complete, since he didn't have the whole Triforce. Meanwhile, The Hero of Time was able to use the Master Sword to return to the exact moment he'd first removed it. He could then affect the future in small ways. In the past, he could use the Master Sword again to travel to the future time after the war. But, he was unable to stop the war or go to a point in history before he'd opened the Door of Time and stop himself. In the future, the Hero of Time managed to disable Gannon and in that moment the seven sages sealed him in the Sacred Realm with his Triforce of Power. Now, Princess Zelda did have the power to send The Hero of Time back to a previous point using her magical Ocarina. The Hero and Zelda both had pieces of the Triforce that may have enable this feat, no other incidents of such a precisely controlled trip through time have happened with any other people in the canonical Zelda universe. This is where the timeline splits, Princess Zelda went on to rebuild Hyrule and presumably marry and have children in a world without the Hero of Time. But in the other time line, the child Hero came with knowledge of a possible future and one very important piece of advice for the young Princess Zelda. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR OF TIME. They fought with Gannon in what became known as the Imprisoning War because this war ended in baiting Gannon with the complete Triforce that was never taken out of the Sacred Realm. Gannon became trapped in the Sacred Realm with his Triforce.

AlternateTimeLine also applies to Majora's Mask. First it must be established that this game takes place in the alternate time line where the young Hero of Time warned young Zelda about a possible horrible future if the Door of Time was opened. But this isn't the reason for an Alternate Time Line. More to the point, The Hero was given the Ocarina of Time and a song by Princess Zelda that enabled him to repeatedly return to a key point in the past with important items and create a additional time lines. He did this repeatedly until he was able to create a time line in which he retrieved Major's Mask from the Skull Kid and defeated Majora. The 'failed' time lines were all presumably terminated by the natural yet extreme forces resulting from the collision of two planetary bodies near the physical location of the key point in time (this occurred in [b][i]ALL[/i][/b] other timelines when Majora was undefeated). Yet, the Hero seems to have been able to retrieve items from these different time lines that continued to exist.[/spoiler]Link can ride Epona in OoT and MM, shoot a bow an arrow in LoZ, OoT, and MM, go fishing in OoT, travel back a forth between two time periods that are 7 years apart in OoT, Travel back to a key place and point in time in MM and teleport around the land of Hyrule in OoT and Termina in MM by playing a song or finding a shortcut portal. Of note, Link does not teleport in LoZ, he is carried from place to place by a whirlwind. OoT is both a prequel and a remake. Despite taking place in a previous time than the previously released games (some of which are included in this package), it follows the formula developed by those previous games. Even to the point that 4 major roles reoccur, Gannon the demonic magician-thief lusting for power, Link the Hero, Zelda the Princess, The wise of sage who advises Link, and Impa the Loyal servant of Royalty. Stealth is required for the Hero to gain access to the outer then inner sections of Hyrule castle in OoT. The Hero is required to sneak past multiple guards without being seen, heard or touched by them. Additionally, some enemies will fail to notice the Hero under certain conditions; although these instances are merely helpful and not at all required. Stealth in MM is required and the Stone Mask is specifically for causing the Hero to go unnoticed by most characters and enemies in the game.
Shigero Miyamoto is "involved in Shinto" (apparently this is the politically correct term) and most of the Legend of Zelda games he designed either encourages or requires the main characters to participate Shinto like practices in order to beat the game. Shigero Miyamoto was a key author of LoZ, AoL and OoT. Additionally he had creative influence on the design on MM. The main Shinto practices presented are collection and use of spiritual relics and rituals at 'shrines'. Miyamoto has confirmed his Shinto faith publicly including during game related interviews. When asked if the Zelda games promoted shinto, he did not deny it.
[Someone more familiar with Shinto needs to expand or/and revise the above paragraph.]
OoT and MM feature, snowscapes, item durability (for a few specific items), day and night. All games feature melee combat, trap rooms, mountains, forest, bridges, monsters, and blobs. All but LoZ feature towns and magic. Some games feature ruins, outlaws, and plains. OoT features the inside of a megafish as a location. MM features the tragic introduction of the Scooby Tingle character, alien abduction, and off-screen action. Foes with Achilles' Heel type weaknesses are a mainstay of the series, especially bosses and Gannon. Naming your kid "Link" effectively chooses them to save the world while still a child in the Zelda universe. But Links age in LoZ, sequences of OoT, and AoL is debateably teen or adult. All but MM feature a mix of 2D and 3D type graphics in their attempts to represent a 3D environment. MM features tattoos and they are present in OoT. Nighttime enemy encounters in OoT a merely relentless, not random. But overworld enemy encounters in LoZ are both random and relentless.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time  Nintendo1998"seruta no ten'setsu taimu no okarina" is the romanised Old Hylian title.
[Zerothis]***Released to an eager audience in 1998, The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time became an instant smash and quickly established itself as one of the greatest games ever made.

As legendary hero Link, you must journey across Hyrule, and even through time itself, to thwart the plans of Ganondorf. You'll wield weapons and gadgets, battle enormous bosses and solve brain-busting puzzles, which are among the best ever seen in the Zelda series.

Ocarina of Time brilliantly adapted the 2D, top-down style of classic Zelda adventures into 3D, becoming a textbook example of game design that is still followed today.

But the appeal of ‘Ocarina' lies not only in its cinematic visuals or groundbreaking combat system; it also impresses with its epic storyline, memorable characters, superbly designed dungeons and rich variety of gameplay. Quite simply, it's a masterpiece!***The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time reveals the genesis of the fantasy land of Hyrule, the origin of the Triforce and the tale of the first exploits of Princess Zelda and the heroic adventurer Link. Vibrant, real-time 3-D graphics transport players into the fantasy world of Hyrule. The quest takes them through dense forests and across wind-whipped deserts. Players swim raging rivers, climb treacherous mountains, dash on horseback across rolling hills and delve into dungeons full of creatures that fight to the finish to put an end to their adventures. With immersive graphics, a sweeping story line, swashbuckling adventure, mind-bending puzzles and a touch of humor, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of Nintendo's most epic challenges ever.***As the first fully three-dimensional title in the Zelda series, players must take on the role of a young boy with a grand destiny growing up in the Kokiri village. The young hero, Link, soon finds out that something is afoot when he is dispatched on an epic adventure by the Great Deku Tree. On his travels Link discovers he is destined to become the Hero of Time and save Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf. His travels take him across a vast and colourful continent as he battles through challenging dungeons - ranging from the eerie Forest Temple to the fiery caves of Dodongo Cavern. With hours of exciting gameplay this title is sure to keep even the most dedicated player busy for weeks.

Unique to the Zelda series, Ocarina of Time sees players taking on both the role of child Link and his young adult form. When he begins his journey, Link is an eight year old boy in an as yet untainted Hyrule. However, when he uncovers the fabled Temple of Time and the legendary Master Sword Link is too young to take on the role of Hero of Time so is transformed into a young adult. During this time Hyrule radically changes into a darker and more dangerous place.

[spoiler=Deku Shrub Hint;Close Hint]Deku shrubs are pretty timid and a variety of attacks will make them surrender. But the quickest ammo free solution is one ground pounding swing with the Megaton Hammer[/spoiler]***The fifth in the Zelda series, this game takes place before all the others. The graphics are quite impressive, the story, although known to all Zelda gamers, is put in quire well, and the gameplay matches the value of any Zelda to date. A very good 3D translation for a well done game. Zelda fans will not be dissappointed with all the features this game has to offer.

Although it's not quite 'Game of the Century', Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a thrilling adventure from start to finish. It has huge dungeons, hundreds of puzzles, fun boss fights, and many secrets to uncover, all enveloped in a gorgeous 3D environment. It may be cliche to say this, but Zelda 64 is easily my favorite N64 game.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time  Nintendo (EAD Software Development Group 3)2002Ura Zelda was originally a 64DD game (Nintendo 64 Disk Drive), but the game was canceled due to the poor sales of the system.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Nintendo (Grezzo;Nintendo)2011This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Link, a young hero who must stop an evil king from obtaining a magical relic. Players explore dungeons and caves while using a sword, boomerang, slingshot, and magical spells to defeat a variety of fantastical enemies (e.g, dinosaurs, skeletons, giant spiders). Some ranged weapons also allow players to shoot projectiles (e.g., arrows) from a first-person view. Battles are accompanied by grunting sounds and colorful light effects; enemies blink and disappear when defeated. During one boss battle, Link jabs at a pig-like enemy, resulting in brief splashes of green liquid; a handful of other enemies emit similar effects when struck. As the game progresses, Link encounters a few female characters that are depicted from low camera angles and dressed in outfits that display moderate amounts of cleavage. 3DSlabelimagesubject
