At the time of writing, we’re just nine days from one of the most anticipated remakes ever released. Ocarina of Time holds a special place in many a gamer’s heart – and that goes for the vast majority of us reading (and writing on) a site called Nintendo Life.
A couple of weeks ago we asked how you first encountered the game, whether you were there on N64 back in 1998 or caught up with Zelda’s first foray into the third dimension at another time in the decades since.
Today, we’re eager to hear more! As we’ve explored over the last couple of weeks, Ocarina doesn’t just inspire nostalgia for the game (although there’s plenty of that, too), but evokes powerful memories both of the game itself and where we were in our lives during that first playthrough.
With that in mind, we’d love to read more of your personal Ocarina memories, so we’re looking for entries for a community-focused article similar to our N64 and Pokémon Memories pieces earlier this year.
If you have a treasured memory you’d like to share with us — and potentially see published in an upcoming article — check out the guidelines below on how to send them our way!
Nintendo Life Ocarina Memories submission guidelines
- 100 words, maximum – We’d like to feature as many as possible in the finished article, so please keep things concise! (Remember, 100 is the max – it can be shorter!)
- Don’t go crazy with multiple submissions – You’ve likely got many, many memories from playing, but please just pick the best one.
