WWWWWEEEEEEELLLLLLCOME! Yes, it’s true. November 21st is the 20th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This week, we’re taking a brief break from our standard format to bring you an extended episode entirely dedicated to one of the greatest, and most influential games of all time. Ocarina of Time changed the way we thought about 3D adventures forever, and its legacy can still be felt in just about ever game on the market. That’s not hyperbole, it’s a fact. We mention a ton of different sources and interviews on this episode so allow us to elaborate.
– Here’s our original review, written by none other than our very own Peer Schneider
– And of course, the 3DS version reviewed by our pal Rich George
– Iwata Asks: Ocarina of Time 3D
– Here’s the Arwing in OoT that Sam mentions
– Peter Main’s 1998 Interview about “Zelda 64”
Yes, we are skipping out on a bunch of Pokémon news this week, but please feel free to take a look at our review for Pokemon Let’s go Eevee/Pikachu here:
And, if you’re stoked for the Detective Pikachu trailer, take a look at our EXTENSIVE breakdown here:
We promise we’re dedicating Ep. 434 to everything Pokémon! Til then, hope you enjoy this retrospective and remember to GET THE THING! Remember, you can watch NVC here on IGN on Thursdays at 3pm PT.
