Correct Answer: Ocarina of Time
(Source)Z-targeting was Nintendo's fix for the messy problem of fighting enemies in 3D. Lock onto a foe and the camera swings behind Link while the other enemies politely hang back, which designer Yoshiaki Koizumi came up with after watching samurai stunt performers stage duels at a Kyoto theme park. Nintendo built it into Ocarina of Time when the series jumped to 3D in 1998, and the game earned the first perfect 40/40 in Famitsu's 12-year history, pulled IGN's first ever 10/10, and posted a 99 on Metacritic that still hasn't been topped. The samurai knew what they were doing.
