Despite so many years since its initial release, many people still consider The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to be one of the best video games of all time. There's good reason for that.

Not only is Ocarina of Time one of the most important games of all time, it's also one of the best Zelda games ever made. The sense of scale and adventure had never been achieved on a console before Ocarina of Time and it helped shape the whole generation ahead.

Simply put, to say that Ocarina of Time is an important game for the Nintendo 64 would be doing it a disservice. It practically shaped the past 20 years of gaming. It's that good.

Although the existence of the 3D remake might make including Ocarina of Time a bit redundant, the impact that the game had and it's huge pedigree on the Nintendo 64 make it an absolutely essential inclusion.
