The game was such a success that its influence hung heavy over the franchise for almost two decades, with four 3D Zelda titles following – from Majora’s Mask to the recently remastered Skyward Sword – that have borrowed systems, characters, and core gameplay mechanics wholesale from Ocarina.

The Zelda series’ first foray into the third dimension was a landmark game when it first launched on the N64 in 1998, and along with Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 007 remains emblematic of Nintendo’s groundbreaking early success with gaming’s biggest ever technological leap.
