How long did it take for you to beat Ocarina Of Time. How hard was it?

[Hero Of Termina]

How long did it take for you to beat OOT? It took me about five years. It was so hard it had to take five years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD

[Petman1325]

It took me 6 months. I'm impressed I got the score of 000. My first Zelda game, so, it was hard as crap!

[Kybyrian]

It took me 8 or 9 months, I played it on and off, so I didn't just play it straight for 9 months to try and beat it. It was my first Zelda game - nay, my first video game, I ever played, so naturally it was very hard. No, I didn't play video games until I was about 8 or so years old.

[Josh]

Counting for long I didn't play it, bout 2 years. I played up until about leaving Kokiri, stopped, and then Started it again.

[Onilink89]

Well OOT was the first zelda game i played and i was new to the series back then.
i was also very young back then.
Sometimes i was stuck and took a break for a while and then later pick it up.

i would say it took me 2½ years to beat it.

[Hero Of Termina]

You have good gaming skill pal. You should come over to my house and help me re-beat OOT, Josh!

[Hylian Hobbit]

I'm not sure. I played up until the Kakariko Well in about 3 months, and then stopped playing for about 2½ until I picked it back up and started over again. After I picked it back up, it took me 2 months probably.

[Nemesis]

I beated the game when I was 6, but it doesn't count, because everytime my brother saw me playing it, he sat down to "Help" me :P

but when I was 9, then I beated it in ca 1 year

[blackice_cc]

Let's see. It probably took me around 6 months or so. One time at my friends, (we kind of trade the Nintendo 64 back-and-forth) he and I beat Dodongo's cavern and Jabu Jabu's belly in one night, because we were so excited at getting to be Old Link. After that, I played quite a bit and got to the Shadow temple (which was the last one, the way I did it) and I got stuck there and didn't play it for a month or two. Then I decided to go back and finish it once and for all. So yeah, probably around 6 months.

[Y2K3]

Oh, I wish I could remember. It was probably around a year for me give or take a couple of months.

[Akiranon]

Once I figured out how to beat the third dungeon (Jabu), it took me about a month to beat the game. But yeah, it took me like half a year to figure the third dungeon out. >_>

[octorok74]

It took me about 1 year to beat the game. The hardest part was the Water Temple which took about 2 months.

[zeldusfanaticus]

a little more than 4 days(i only played weekends, but i snuck some time in during the week), but it was frusterating became the disc i was using(a cheap collectors edition) would freeze up during a really random point. besides the crappy disc jabu's belly confused me, as did the water temple.

[Chris]

It took me a year or so to beat Oot, it was the hardest game in the series!

[Zeanith]

...I rented it when I was 9 and didn't do any of the storyline. I was too overwhelmed by the sheer size. I bought Master Quest for GC and beat it in 3 days with no sleep. ^_^

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Took me about 1 month.

I was completely addicted to it when I first got it, and I barely stopped playing for quite a while.

[Peacefull God]

It took me about five days. That was the easiet game EVER! That was one EASY game.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

It took me about five days. That was the easiet game EVER! That was one EASY game.

Five days?

You must be a really good problem solver!:D

[Y2K3]

I think it took me about 5 days just to get to the Deku Tree. :p

[Petman1325]

It took me five days to beat the Deku Tree...Then aimlessly looking for Hyrule Castle....

[Master94]

It took me about month. It was not too hard but not too easy. I got stuck in water temple and in goron city.

[Skull_Kid]

One week and a half of ininterrupted play... at the end of it, i slept for a whole weekend..it was awesome

[Peacefull God]

Five days?

You must be a really good problem solver!:D Yes,I solve problems so we can have peace. I had no stratagy guide. I also played it at a friends house and beat it. I took me five months considering I didn't go over to his house as much. When I finnaly got the game,it took me five days.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

I had to use a strategy guide for the Water Temple unfortunately:(

[Jake]

I've beaten the game at least 50 times (understatement)

The last time I beat it was just a few days ago actually, I was using an emulator (didn't cheat once) and took me about 3-4 days (had to get used to the emulator controls, it was my first time playing N64 emu)

It wasn't that hard, I knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Never looked at a guide, never asked for help.

I did, however, search for video guides on how to glitch; I didn't use those on my main character, I made a second one.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

I've beaten the game at least 50 times (understatement)


Heh, same here!:D

I mastered it after about the tenth time!^^

[chrisbg99]

Probably a month or so. Not sure why it took me so long.

[Typhingblade]

I beat TLOZOOT in 1 HOUR
Try beating that...

[Bluelink6]

Simple answer for you ; Im still trying.

[Zelda Freak]

To be honest i rly never got past ganondorf. the reason i said i beat the game is cuz i didnt want to look like a piece of shiz.

[Skull_Kid]

To be honest i rly never got past ganondorf. the reason i said i beat the game is cuz i didnt want to look like a piece of shiz.

First, learn how to type, second, don't be ridicule, i bet there are a lot of members here who haven't beaten OoT

[Zelda Freak]

I misspelt on purpose. I just beat the game. It was a little hard.

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

I beat TLOZOOT in 1 HOUR
Try beating that...

I don't think that's possible....

[timewarp]

I beat TLOZOOT in 1 HOUR
Try beating that...

No you didn't.



At first, it took me a couple of months, mostly because I was young and got frustrated quickly, and would stop playing the game for a week or so. Now I've got it down to a few days.

[Amelie]

If I remember right it took me almost 2 months to beat it. I didnt get everything either. But there was nothing more amusing then finally finishing such a great game ^^

I died a few times in Shadow Temple and out in the fields when I was young Link. Fire Temple was tricky to.

I died more in A link to the past though ^^

[Typhingblade]

No you didn't.

lol ive done it before...
in 45 minutes i got to the fire temple and then ganon in 55 minutes from the start of the game...
then the battle took 10 seconds and the cut scenes about 4 minutes... then the final battle... down goes gannon in 2 minutes then the long cut scene that lasts 5 minutes...

[Amelie]

Videos or it didnt happen ^^

It makes sense if you used a hack or something >> Or made Link run in super speed.

[timewarp]

You did not legitimately beat the game in an hour. You may have glitched, or used a gameshark or similar device, but you did not complete every temple and defeat Ganondorf in one hour.

[Typhingblade]

absolutely zero cheats used... i've just played it long enough to get through it fast... basically speed running...
and i have no clue what that one cheat where u press r and u like move super fast is i've looked but i can't find it...
no glitching either...
i can beat the game really fast without cheats...

[Josh]

Get a video. Right now. I sure as hell want to see this happen. Because I would be you could get to about.........Second Temple in about an hour.

[Typhingblade]

sigh i would but i cant really make a video and i dont have a you tube account it makes me mad that i cant show proof... though i can show the easiest dark link fight ever...:)
ill try to show proof but well... it'll be difficult...
considering that ive tried to make something that was like a minute long then my computer crashed...:(

I dont mean to be rude.. but it is impossible.. and when you get a video.. you can quote me

And I know im crossing the line here but.. when people use u instead of you.. and tell me they beat a game as big as OoT in under a hour.. I just cant believe them

Sorry.

[Typhingblade]

oh well it cant be helped... oh and i dint say under an hour i said i beat it in an hour... so basically like 5 minutes over still is an hour...
still ill try to get proof as soon as i can...

[Dabombster]

Actually, Ocarina of Time took me a while to beat. Not because it was challenging, but because I was 8 years old and in Jabu-Jabu's belly after you fight the giant Octorok thing I didn't jump to the platform that lowered itself so you could access the other door. So yeah, I tried to find a hundred different ways through that place afterwards.

[Judai]

Hmm awhile. I never got what you had to do in the Forest Temple, so I went to the Fire Temple hoping it would solve the Forest Temple. It took me a bit, but then again I was like 7 ish.

[Amelie]

Well it "can" be helped if you just take the extra secend to spell the full word. But.. I wont bug you about it and I dont want to back set mod. It just makes it easyer for everyone to read your posts.

OoT wasnt hard for me. Well... not really hard anyway. But it was just big. I was so caught up in the game it was just amazeing ^^

[Typhingblade]

the first time i played it it took a couple months because in a few days i got the the shadow temple then i got freaked out so i stopped playing for like 4 months then my cousins came for a visit and help me get through the shadow temple... after that i was fine... also when i first beat it i saw the ending and... cried...

[Ando]

I honestly don't even remember. I think it probably took me around 30 hours, maybe? It's been a while, and I didn't play it straight -- took me a couple of months on and off. It wasn't too terribly hard though outside of the obvious Water Temple nonsense.

[LinkOwnsYou]

ermm. . . hehe well it took me like a YEAR yes people A YEAR to finish it :sweat: hehe I refused to buy the guide and it was all because of the Water temple course :xd:

BUT I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I FINALLY BEATED IT!!!:ocarina:

[Amelie]

It is kind of sad when you first finish a game like OoT. I remember at first I didnt want it to end :(

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

It is kind of sad when you first finish a game like OoT. I remember at first I didnt want it to end :(

I cried.

Really, I did.

The ending was so nice, and I was only 8:D

[timewarp]

Youtube accounts are free to make.

[bellum]

I've had Oot for about 6 years and I havent beat it:mad: well mostly beacause I rarely play it :xd:

[El Bagu]

It took me about 10 days. I unfortunately used gamefaqs three or four times. Otherwise It would have taken me much longer time. That was a huge mistake and I wont do it again!

[Crystallion]

I think it was 3 weeks or 1 month to play through it. It was not ALL that hard, but the Water Temple gave me nightmares >_>

[Amelie]

That last key is soo hard to find! And I didnt have a guide and we didnt have internet yet so I had to take days and days in the temple before I finally found it ><

[mewtwolord]

this game took me about a year to beat because i stoped playing it for a while ehhh it kinda got hard when you got to the gerudo desesert.It was also i couldnt find the golden guanlets(how ever its spelt)so i asked my friend to get it and when i got it back he already beat ganon

[Amelie]

Wow! I would be upset if my friend did that! Especially if I told them just to do a certain thing. How rude! >>

[bellum]

darn I kinda would call that ruining the game what did you do did you start anew file?

[mewtwolord]

well i had oot on gc and my sister deleted my data and now im still looking for them gloves

[Skull_Kid]

well i had oot on gc and my sister deleted my data and now im still looking for them gloves

Wich Gloves? Anyways, that's why I don't let my brother touch my consoles... My sister is okay, she likes to play SSBM and Resident Evil, but my wee brother must be the devil

[Master94]

I think he means silver gauntlets. Anyways, it took me about a month to beat Oot.

[Axle the Beast]

How long it took me to beat it first time through? Oh, a few months. And it was fairly hard. Not super hard, but hard (if you want super hard, play Viewtiful Joe. :xd:)

But keep in mind, I wasn't a very good gamer back then.

[Vincent]

I was 8 my first time around, I believe. I'd say it took me about 2 months. I got stuck in the Shadow Temple for quite a while, and I couldn't beat Ganon. That took me at least 20 tries.

[Chrono]

I was 13 and the only thing hard was finding the last key in the Water Temple.

[Alder Dragon]

It took me maybe 5 or 6 days, without a guide. I remember getting up to the end of Jabu Jabu's Belly the first day I started playing it, and I was about 9 at the time. The Water Temple gave me a bit of trouble and some of the shadow temple puzzles were a bit difficult, but the rest of the game wasn't really that hard to me. I don't think I ever completed my original file 100%, I re-played it a few years ago and got 100% in 3 or 4 days.

[sign of table]

Hmm the first time? Probably like 80 hours, lol. I would have been about 6 the first time I beat it, though.

[LucarioMaster]

i 4 got how long i took to beat it the first time

[Welbanks]

It took me quite a while actually, like most people i was stuck on that one key in the water temple (under the block that raises with the water)
But taking a long time on it gives you a chance to savor what a great game it is :P i was almost a little sad when i finished it

[Durion]

I took me a while, I have never really completed OoT save my self, The First File I completed I started from The Shadow Temple as My Brother did the rest. The Second file I made but not have completed I beat the Water Temple and went to Kakariko town but have not gone down the well. I think that the game is hard as well, A lot harder than TP

[guapo2003]

It took me 3 weeks to beat this game the first time I played it. I was at it hard for a while to, playing atleast 3 hours a day if not more. It was an awesome first experience. I only wish I could play this game again not knowing anything to relive that experience.

[nathan1]

OOT took me about 2 days to finish the first time. now that I've had it for years I can beat in under 2 hours.

[Hylian Knight]

The first playthrough took me 3 years but it was when the game originally was released on the 64(kickin' it old school) and I was about 4 or 5.

[unknown]

The first time i played it was on VC and it took me about 2 months. it was my 4th completed zelda.

[Fame Killz]

as a kid when it first came out, a couple years. 2 good years.

recently played thru on the gamecube, took exactly a week. about a dungeon a day

[Trio the Punch]

The first time I played Ocarina it took about a week and a half. I just replayed it on Master Quest and it took about three days (meaning I turned it on three times over the course of three different days). I only died three times in Master Quest. The embarrassing part is that all of those occurred inside the Great Deku Tree.


I think that the game is hard as well, A lot harder than TP

Napping is a lot harder than TP. But no, yeah, Ocarina is pretty hard.

[Samus Aran]

Took me about a day or two.I was only about six years old.

[ZeldaTheories]

It took me about 1 month with a walk through on the heart pieces. It was the first Zelda game That I beat with 100% score... Man, Good Times :)!

[Lil'Link]

well, i played it for 2 years, had a 4 year rage quit on the forest temple, then beat it in another year... so about 7 years it toke me...

[Jarvio]

Took me 2 days. Easiest zelda game ever IMO.

Master quest (3DS) was harder though, that took me just under a week.

[MW7]

I think it took me a month, but I could easily be wrong- it's at least a month though. I was 8, and I thought it was moderately difficult. I hadn't played a lot of video games by that time, but for instance I thought it was harder than Super Mario Bros. 3 but a ton easier than Link's Awakening. My second playthrough took a week, and nowadays I can beat it in under six hours. It's easier than brushing my teeth now.

[skywardsword13]

this game took me 5 or 6 years to complete(my 1st zelda game), with a few months gaps where i was either: not playing because I just didn't feel like it. That really didn't happen many times. Or: I was stuck on a puzzle for months at a time. I started the game when i was 4 or 5 ish, and finished when I was 10. So it took me a long time. But I loved every moment of it.

[KogamoSJS]

It took me about a year, but if I actually owned it, that might have helped. I had to arrange a visit(usually once a month) in order to play it. When I DID play it, I played it for at least 3 hours at a time.
