The greatest video game of all time stands the test of time
It was a breathtaking masterpiece of firsts: The first game with lock-on targeting during battles, the first 3-D "Zelda" game, the first in which day turned into night and back, and the first time protagonist Link could gallop across the landscape by horse.

It's a no-brainer to purchase and download "Ocarina" through the Wii's Virtual Console, but here are more reasons: Its deep dungeons, plethora of side quests, hummable music, revolutionary camera system and graphics - which stand the test of time.
