Zelda: Ocarina of Time originally had Ganon’s Castle as the only area in the game

Miyamoto reveals that he originally thought of just including Ganon's Castle as the only setting in Ocarina of Time. Ganon’s Castle would have acted like a hub, just like Peach’s Castle in Super Mario 64.

Glad they changed it, wouldn't have had the same effect it had if it was all just in his castle. I love roaming around Hyrule.

ChickeyCantor4685d ago

like miyamoto says, it would still be a "world" just inside a castle with different illusions basically. He is talking about an ocean in a castle...XD

Hurikan4686d ago

Wow, this would have been Zeldavania. It might not have been as good, but I would have loved it anyway.

GunofthePatriots4686d ago

I would actually like to see something like this one day. Sounds cool.

Whitefox7894685d ago

Sounds like Castlevania or Super Mario 64. The bottom line is Ocarina of Time is and is still an amazing feat of a game.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64124d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic123d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits124d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake124d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

It isn't...

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - A Legend 25 Years in the Making

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.

I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.

TheBrainZ156d ago

A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.

FinalFantasyFanatic156d ago

I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
