Your most cherished Ocarina Of Time moment

We all agree that Ocarina Of Time was a huge part of our memories because of its pure amazement. Many remembered memories went into that game, and will follow us for a long time. What was your most cherished memory when playing Ocarina Of Time?

Mine would have to be when I was about to beat it for the first time. My dad and my brother knew how excited I was and how close I was to beating it. So on a Friday night, before I started fighting Ganondorf, my dad and my brother sat next to me to watch me beat it. It was like I had my own little audience. After watching the final cut scene and into the credits, I was in complete awe with how amazing the game was.

Spirit Temple because the game was nearing the end and they gave you the most epic and fun temple in zelda history. or sheik having good explanations for links hardships. and any time just being a kid and with saria, so sad when he got older. just a flawless amazing game that every second of playing time i was in awe.

leaving saria behind was a touching moment. but my favorite parts were always the boss introductions. (which other games are starting to duplicate now.) the bosses were just top-notch in this game.

Magneto- making Jews look badass since 1944.

When Gannon rides his horse toward you in the paintings of the Forest Temple. Very cool

When Navi flew away :'] Yeah, she was annoying as fack, but come on now, it was sad.
I have to agree with the Gohma cutscene, it was all like, woah. And the Water Temple of course, but all for the wrong reasons. >:(

It's been literally 10 years since I last played OOT but I still have vivid memories from parts of this game.
Most cherished moment I guess was when leaving the forest at the start of the game as a kid you are on a bridge with this girl saying goodbye and you just know that you won't ever be seeing her again - That's always stayed with me as it was actually quite moving, well to me anyway.
Maybe someone can tell me if she showed up later in the game....I think she did with link as an adult in some kind of surreal dream sequence but I don't really remember.
Fantastic game, made you really feel that you went on this incredible journey at times as opposed to just playing another computer game.

Saria becomes the Forest Sage after you're an adult. So yes, you see her again.

The best memory I had of this game was when my friend and I finally beat it. It took almost a year to beat it, and we would always be on the phone for 13 hours helping each other out. We finally beat the game and our whole family was cheering.

This, Ariande, would be a kick.

Right before the sages make the Rainbow Bride to Ganondorf's castle, I was like shaking with excitement and I was nervous as hell. Best video game ever.

Finally entering the door in the Temple of Time--entering as a child, emerging as an adult. That entire scene.

Running up the stairs in Ganon's castle as the creepy organ music gets progressively louder and louder. Entering the door to see Zelda trapped and Ganon playing the music. So awesome.

Nocturne of Shadow.

I agree with the others, relief that the Water Temple was OVER!! lol

[–] rpi2001 13 years ago

Definitely agree, dalejrfan. Not knowing what was behind the door in the Temple of Time was exciting. The organ music really freaks you out as you get closer in the castle. I also loved Phantom Ganon riding in the paintings in the Forest Temple - definitely had a creepy Legend of Sleepy Hollow vibe. The cinematic "GANON" with the lightning in the background during the final battle - quite scary. Thank God for youtube, where you can rewatch a lot of these things.

Parasitic Armored Arachnid
GOHMA

it's early in the game, but it makes quite an impact. the first time i reached it, i was in complete heartpounding suspense and awe.

I remember getting the N64 for Christmas and watching my dad playing in Kokiri not knowing what do to just throwing Deku nuts everywhere lol...but yeah I remember Kokiri the most....and its funny, you think "Hell yeah i'm gonna play *beep* don't want to deal with the Water Temple!!!" lol

Entering the Temple of Time for the first time. The music score was just epic. Anytime I'm in a room with an echo (by myself, of course), I sing the melody as loud as I can. LOL! And Link disappearing the blue light each time he replaces/draws out the Master Sword.
My other favorite was a pretty simple one ... getting Epona to jump the fence to escape the ranch. Oh, and also jumping the broken bridge. Epona made the game amazing.

Minuet of Woods, I don't know the whole scene is just so beautiful. I for one love the water temple as much as I hate it, meeting shadow link is on the list for sure! The eerie atmosphere. And then when you have finished the water temple and lake Hylia is restored. Entering the temple of time of course, to this day I have yet to see a moment in a game that is as powerful if you will.

My greatest memory of the game was making sweet passionate love to the game almost every night. Then it fell in love with my GoldenEye game and I had to kill them both. Nobody cheats on me! NOBODY!

I remember when I was 11 and first played the game, it took me a long time (like a year) because I could only play it Saturdays for a few hours at my grandma's house (where my N64 was) and I wanted to do all the side-quests, following the guidebook from Prima. (I think it was Prima, I just threw it out finally, it came apart in a box I had my books and comics stored in) So I'd only really make it through like one dungeon or a few side-quests every week-or-two.

I was always struck by the Saria storyline, because it felt almost like a tragic romance-that-could-never-be. (Mainly because of the long pauses and the look she gives Link when he leaves, and some dialog about how they'll always be friends.) I actually cried at the scene where she awakens as a sage, because I was reading into it and found it so tragic.

And finally when I brought my N64 home, and was able to power through the final two dungeons (months and months after starting it, and only playing a few hours a month), my older sister watched me play and had fun, because it was shortly before she joined the army (then got sent over to Iraq for like a year), and she grew up playing the original games for the NES and SNES, so for her, the quantum-leap forward into 3D graphics made it feel like watching a movie in her eyes.

Afterwords, we started theorizing about the sequel, and where it could go. After Majora's Mask came out, she watched me play the beginning and end during her occasional breaks home, but not the middle part.

And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

One of my favourite moments was when you turn into adult Link and then when you step outside the temple, the whole place was ruined and it was such a shock to see compared to the kid link hyrule.
