Revisiting Ocarina of Time 25 Years After Its Release
GameOn Magazine|Issue 169 - November 2023
I have a bad habit of coming back to the same things for years. It's evident as I just watch the same five shows and continue to come back to the same old games; this is why it wasn't shocking to me when my wife suggested we revisit one of my childhood favourites —The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Revisiting Ocarina of Time 25 Years After Its Release

In addition to being obsessed with revisiting things that make me happy, I also tend to leave things halfway. So when I booted up the game and began walking through the surprisingly polygonic Kokiri Forest and into my first dungeon, I was pretty sure that this would be the first and last day I played the game. Although I love Ocarina of Time with all of my heart — and it was possibly my favourite game for many years as a kid — it would be naive of me to assume I could get through such an old title. Especially not when so many new games sit waiting for me to explore them!
