The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a video game developed and published by Nintendo. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, then for the Nintendo GameCube and iQue Player in 2003, and a Virtual Console version was later released in 2007. A remake for the 3DS was released in 2011 which uses all of the same sound effects.
