#1: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
  • "Ocarina of Time" is one of the most important games ever released, so of course every gamer should experience it! Its influence on the action-adventure genre can still be seen today, yet itself still plays tremendously well.
  • Everything from its music to its lore, from its characters to its puzzles, enchanted us then.
  • And remarkably, they still do.
  • Set up as a simple good vs. evil story in a fantasy world, it subtly explores the loss of childhood and innocence, as well as the sacrifice that comes from answering a higher calling.
  • Its levels and characters, whether big or small, remain some of the most iconic in the medium.
  • If you've never played it, you're missing out on something truly extraordinary.
