10 Video Games 90s Kids Never Forgot

Released in 2000, a year after its much loved predecessor Ocarina Of Time this game had some huge boots to fill.

So, rather than re-tread much of the same ground the developers took the series into wildly unexplored territory, dark in tone, bursting with atmosphere and built on the revolutionary control scheme from its predecessor- it was an incredible recipe that's so good that the game has become, to many, the best in the series.

Termina is simply overflowing with atmosphere, the NPCS and interactions, the design choices, the colour pallet, music and subtle gameplay features are clearly moving toward a common goal here, to instil the dire situation into the game... and it succeeds better at this than almost any game since.

Time travelling to save the world may have been mind-bendingly complicated to my feeble eight year old mind at the time but it only gets better when you replay it. It becomes easier to appreciate just how far Nintendo were willing to stray from their already critically revered formula to produce a truly unique experience.

Looking back the Masks were the leading ingenious aspect which expanded on links move set without requiring menu usage and even made the obligatory water levels enjoyable. It's simply a more interesting and creepy Zelda game than perhaps any other.
