What was the first 3D Legend of Zelda game?
The Legend of Zelda has been critically adored for nearly forty years, with every major release getting treated like an event and the review scores reading more like love letters. That reputation was cemented the moment the series jumped into 3D. What was the first 3D Zelda game?

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.
