Playing Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo 64.

Just to show I play Nintendo as well.

is it just stretched to fit 16:9? that's not going to look great
- Ocarina of Time never natively supported any aspect ratio other than 4:3, so it will certainly be stretched. Unless OP plays on an emulator or the native PC port, which can both support 16:9.
  
  Chances are there's a setting for stretch/fit in the TV
- There it is
  
  I saw this in my feed and asked myself what post number is going to be the "retro on 16:9 REEEEEEEEE", you're post #9 sorted by Hot
  
  glad i could make your day, sorry it didn't include a derogatory autistic screech to better fit your prediction
Good job, KYLE
So far, I rescued Princess Ruto, lifted the Master Sword and let Ganandorf gain his power, and now I’m an adult where Sheik is my companion.

EDIT: And I started inside Jabu-Jabu earlier.
- How did you get the master sword without finishing Jabu Jabu? Normally you would need all three spiritual stones to get inside the temple of time where the master sword is.
  
  They also rescued Ruto, so must have finished Jabu Jabu on that basis too
- Spoiler alert, geez!
  
  Sorry about that. :(
- I read that as Shrek.
The N64 was the only Nintendo console I skipped. I just couldn’t afford two consoles and the PlayStation was obviously a better choice, but I still kinda wish I had gotten to experience Ocarina and Majora's Mask when they were brand new and not years later on the GameCube. I played at my friend's houses, but just hated that controller. The Wavebird made it a bit more palatable, but it was still just too "avante garde" for its own good. Feels like I needed yo shove a mop handle in the expansion port and use it as a trident.
One of the best games ever. Try completing it with only 3 hearts and no deaths ;) Back in the day you could get your name published in Nintendo Power for accomplishing that feat.
Best game ever made. Best controllers ever made. I'd love them to release a modern N64 controller!
- They did, for Switch’s subscription service. Not sure if they work on PCs though.
  
  Steam supports some of the subscription ones, probably this one too.
I fired up my copy of Ocarina a couple months ago. To my surprise, all 3 save files were intact and not corrupted! Could not believe it.
I have a similar setup, but I need to invest in a wireless N64 controller. I kind of like this style:

Ocarina of time is chicken soup for my soul.
I don't know why but I always get stuck around the spirit temple and have to look up wtf to do. This has happened every playthrough and you'd think I'd remember it. Good luck!
Decide
In my top 3 games of all time. An absolute masterpiece
