The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The classic and the best of the Zeldas deserved another play through, and so we did; sort of a speed run with nothing too extraneous, just the necessities for completion. The tone and pitch of this game is excellent, balancing the sun and mirth of the child Link with the dire times of old Link. There are several decision the programmers made that still leave you scratching your head in confusion such as the Great Fairy’s outfit and screaming entry (which is currently my text tone, lovely looks on faces that one evokes). The ending, of course, leaves something to be desired, but if you’re playing a Zelda game, or damn near any cartridge game for that matter, for the ending or story then you’re doing it wrong.
