"Miyamoto says:

"At first when we were developing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, I even proposed using a first-person perspective."

*The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, part of the Legend of Zelda Series, was the first 3D game for Nintendo 64, and was released in December 1998. *

…

I thought that the FPS system would be the best way of enabling players to take in the vast terrain of the Hyrule Field. Besides, by not having the player’s character on the screen, we can spend..."

"10. Conker's Bad Fur Day (Rare)
He's lewd, it's crude and in some respects, disgusting as he pees on running flames and wars with teddy bears. Nevertheless, the star of Rare's Conker's Bad Fur Day introduced the ultimate anti-hero with the most bizarre platforming adventure ever. How bizarre? At one point, you meet a big singing pile of feces named the Great Mighty Poo and run around to fetch him sweet corn. We're serious."

"10. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages (Game Boy Color, 2001)
Nintendo's Game Boy Color Zelda releases, the Oracle of Seasons and the Oracle of Ages, are refreshing entries in the series.

"Nintendo will show off the capabilities of its new Wii Zapper peripheral with a new game called Zelda Crossbow Training, according to reports.

Apparently shown to GameStop managers in a presentation in Las Vegas today, Zelda Crossbow Training is a simple, third-person target shooting game believed to be using the Twilight Princess engine.

It is yet to be confirmed if this is the pack-in game Nintendo promised would show off the abilities of the new peripheral as Wii Play did the Wii Rem..."

"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has topped a poll of readers of Edge magazine and industry experts to find the top 100 games of all time.

The 10-year-old videogame for the Nintendo 64 games console helped usher in a new era of 3D gaming."

"Change the setting
While such a ridiculously awesome different redesign is obviously out of the cards, am I the only one who’s getting tired of the medieval castles and grassy plains look? The Final Fantasy franchise manages to reinterpret their universe for every installment, and this philosophy actually makes more sense for the Zelda series. Think about it: the story behind every game is that Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are continuously reincarnated/brought back to life every X amount of ye..."

"According to an official Nintendo press release, 1985’s Super Mario Bros. has proven the most popular title release to date, followed by Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario World, and The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina Of Time.
