The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The first three-dimensional Legend of Zelda launched the Nintendo 64 into mythic status. Shigeru Miyamoto's masterpiece introduced the Z-targeting lock-on system that became the industry standard for 3D action games, sold 7.6 million copies, and holds a Metacritic score of 99 — still the highest ever recorded.
