It is also is full of really memorable moments, such as when you have to leap from the top of the tree to break a giant spider-web, only to fall even further down. This dungeon, with one exception that I will get to in a second, does a brilliant job of teaching the player a lot in a really short period of time. As Link climbs and explores this large room he is introduced to classic Zelda elements like the compass, map, and a key item that is required to defeat the boss. The entire game takes places around one large, open central area, and really emphasizes the vertical component - something that was not possible before. When players walk into the Deku Tree it is unlike anything they would have seen before, especially in a Zelda game. The Deku Tree is a very solid, if basic, introduction to everything players will need to know going forward, while also being a showcase of the N64’s abilities, and the possibilities of the third dimension. It turns out, tree dad caught a bug and is feeling a bit under the weather, so like all good sons it is Link’s job to walk into his mouth and kill stuff until he feels better. I know this dungeon like the back of my hand, if my hand were an enormous tree dad with fantastic facial hair. This is the dungeon that I have spent more time in than any other, the Deku Tree will always hold a special place in my heart. We start at the very beginning, which I have been told is a very good place to start. In order to do so I am going to be looking at each of the dungeons in order, and decide where they rank. This game’s dungeons are all incredibly unique and iconic, and are a huge-leap forward from previous entries in the series, taking full advantage of everything that the N64 has to offer.īecause of this, I want to take a closer look at the dungeons in this game from a design perspective, and see how they stack up to one another. One vital component of any good Zelda game is great dungeons, and Ocarina of Time has some of the best the series has to offer. The Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite game series of all time, and Ocarina remains one of the best in that series. Since then I have played through it a few times, including the 3Ds remake, and it still is one of my favorite games to play. I remember playing this game before I could even read, so I had no idea what I was supposed to do or where to go so I would just run aimlessly around the Kokiri forest and the lost woods.Įventually I lucked my way into the Great Deku Tree, but it was literally years before I made it past that point, and I think I was in middle-school before I actually beat it the first time.
When I was really young Ocarina of Time was one of the only video games we had on the N64, and my siblings and I absolutely loved it. Ocarina of time is a game that holds a very special place in my heart, becau se it is one of the games that I poured countless hours into as a child.
