'''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''' is an action/RPG for the [[Nintendo 64]], released in November of 1998 by Nintendo. It is the fourth game in the Legend of Zelda series. It spawned a sequel, [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]].
The PAL [[N64]] version of Ocarina runs at 50Hz while the NTSC N64 version (and all [[GameCube]] versions) run at 60Hz. This means PAL N64 players play the game roughly 17% slower than other players. This is a disadvantage which cuts both ways. Read on:
== Full speed runs ==
Speed runs of Ocarina are handled by the [[Speed Demos Archive]]. SDA's Ocarina page is [http://speeddemosarchive.com/OcarinaOfTime.html here]. As the PAL N64 version of Ocarina runs 17% slower than NTSC, PAL is at a massive disadvantage on full speed runs, unless you scale your time to match.
The current proven [[World Record]] for a complete-game single-segment Ocarina speed run is 4 hours, 57 minutes, achieved by [[Mike Damiani]] on July 17th, 2005. This is equivalent to a PAL run of roughly 5 hours 56 minutes.
== Sub-games ==
Every sub-game of Ocarina has seen competition of some kind. Sub-game records are hosted by [[N64HS]] at [http://www.geocities.com/n64highscores/ZeldaV.html]. Ocarina sub-games are generally ranked by points or some kind of ''in-game'' timer. As the in-game timer runs just as slowly as the game itself, PAL players are actually at a slight ''advantage'' for these sub-games, as their records can be put on the same rankings, but they play in a very mild form of slow motion. Indeed, PAL players generally seem to dominate the rankings for these games.
* [[Fishing]]
* [[Marathon Run]]
* [[Obstacle Course]]
* [[Dampé the Gravekeeper's Race]]
* [[Horseback Archery]]
N64HS also hosts rankings for some ''extremely'' easily [[maxed]] records like "Gold Skulltulas found", "Heart Containers found" and "Game Overs to finish game" (maxed at 100, 20 and 0 respectively).
