The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is now 20 years old. Talk about the passage of time.
This game has been one of the biggest musical influences in video games for me, and I always refer to this game when I talk about other games. Definitely grateful for this existing one. ?? pic.twitter.com/p2YHYNPn4t

Ocarina of Time was my childhood and, in a sense, my adulthood too. He stayed with me for 20 years and will never leave me. It instilled in me a sense of adventure, to never stop exploring. And for that, I am eternally grateful. pic.twitter.com/VScY0I9OUR

Twenty years ago a game came out that changed my life. A game that takes you beyond the gameplay, but appreciates storytelling, music and epic settings. Ocarina of Time may be dated, but it’s a classic and will always be one of my favorites. pic.twitter.com/t1g5mAbOkZ

Others have also expressed how old the game makes them feel.
The only thing that really made me feel old today is Ocarina of Time, and it’s the 20th year.
