I played it when I was a kid. Unfortunately we only rented a copy, and I wasn't able to finish it in one play-through. My luck was on my side when a week later we rented another copy, and it was the same exact cartridge with my old save game still intact. :) Finishing it was such an epic feeling, I loved the ocarina music and the biggoron sword questline. I don't think new players would get much out of it tho.
I remember looking at advanced screenshots of it with my friends (on dial-up) going "wow it looks so realistic!!" lol
good times :) thanks nintendo (and my parents who watched me play)
