Ocarina of Time's Camera and Control Criticisms Revisited Years After Acclaim
Summary
jeuxvideo has revisited long-standing criticisms of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, focusing on its camera, controls and time-travel mechanics. The 1998 Nintendo 64 classic was widely acclaimed, but the lack of a second analog stick forced button-based camera adjustments, especially awkward in tight spaces. The article also cites the original's roughly 20 fps performance, distant fog and fixed backgrounds. In the Water Temple, repeatedly opening the menu to equip and remove the Iron Boots disrupted pacing; the 3DS version later added shortcuts. It argues Hyrule Field felt open but offered little to do, while Navi's frequent hints could undercut player discovery. The seven-year time shift rarely showed past actions changing the future, and few dungeons built cross-era puzzles.
