A Gamer Looks At 40
Ep 61 - Zelda's Evolutionary Leap: Ocarina of Time
In 1998, the most people knew of Zelda was 16 bit adventures framed in a top down style. And nobody minded. Zelda was still a top three Nintendo franchise. But when Ocarina of Time hit stores in time for holiday 98, it became a sensation. Nobody would have guessed the leap from 2D to 3D would be so dramatic, so immersive, and so special.
On this episode of A Gamer Looks at 40, we continue our romp through the Legend of Zelda series with Ocarina of Time. Join a cast of OOT super fans and I as we dive into this magical game and swap plenty of stories.
