>Ocarina of Time was released to universal critical acclaim and commercial success. It was the best-selling game of 1998, selling 2.5 million copies despite being released only 39 days before the end of the year. During its lifetime, it sold 7.6 million copies worldwide. Upon its initial N64 release, Ocarina of Time received perfect review scores from gaming publications such as Famitsu, Edge, Electronic Gaming Monthly, GameSpot, and IGN. Over ten years after its release, review aggregators Game Rankings and Metacritic both rank it as the best scoring game ever reviewed. The reviews praised multiple aspects of the game, particularly its level design, gameplay mechanics and sound. GameSpot's Jeff Gerstmann wrote that Ocarina of Time is "a game that can't be called anything other than flawless", and IGN called it "the new benchmark for interactive entertainment" that could "shape the action RPG genre for years to come". After publication, Ocarina of Time was featured on a number of compiled lists of best or most influential games, including those of Electronic Gaming Monthly, IGN, Nintendo Power. GameTrailers' editors called it a "walking patent office" due to the number of features that became "industry standard".

tl;dr Zelda is the international "highest rated game of all time."
