Description This is based on my own opinion. Please no rude, angry & mean comments. And it's fine if you don't agree with me.

#10: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
It's one of the most memorable Zelda games for many reasons. The game is surprisingly intense. There is a Dark Moon about to crash to Hyrule and you have to find a way to stop it. If you die in the game, it doesn't matter because the only way to have a game over is if you run out of time and as a result, the dark moon crashes. I like that Link has different forms and each form has different abilities. You can transform into a Deku Scrub, a Goron and a Zora. Although the game is rated E, there are moments in the game that can get really creepy. The most terrifying thing about the game is the game over screen, if you run out of time and the dark moon crashes to Hyrule, you get burned alive by the explosion and Majora's Mask mocks you by saying: «You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?» Yeah, rated E. It should be rated E 10+ instead. But, it's still a great game and a good recommendation for Zelda fans.

#9: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
You might be disappointed that this game is only #9 on the list. This is the first 3D Zelda game and it was an amazing jump from 2D to 3D. The 3D gameplay is much better than the 2D Zelda games. It has a great story. As you can tell by the title, there are some time travelling elements in the game, because you start as Young Link and later you turn to Adult Link. The Ocarina of Time is a pretty unique way to travel in time. This could have been a perfect game, but there's that annoying fairy that ruins it's chance to a perfect game. Na'vi is the fairy that follows you and she's supposed to give you useful tips to move on, but most of the time she constantly says «Hey!» «Listen!». It can easily get you on your nerves just like Baby Mario from Yoshi's Island. Both of these games share the same problem, they could have been perfect if it wasn't for that annoying thing standing in it's way (I'll get to another game like that later). Overall, Ocarina of Time is still one of the best Zelda games ever made. If you don't have a Nintendo 64 to play Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, you can get the 3DS ports.

#8 Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
What can i say? I'm a big fan of the Kirby franchise. The gameplay is just like many of the classic Kirby games, but with 3D graphics. The game is colorful. However, one tip of advice before you play the game if you haven't before. Kirby can't move if you use the middle control stick, but you can move Kirby with D-pad just like any classic video game controllers like the NES and SNES. There's not much else to say. I recommend it for Kirby fans.

#7 Star Fox 64
This game is actually better than the first Star Fox game and this is the Star Fox game i play all the time. There's also a 3DS remake of this game. This game is a lot of fun, it's a 3D space shooter and you got sidekicks to help you. This game looks better than the first game on Super Nintendo where it was just a bunch of 3D polygons. The graphics have more detail on the spaceships and backgrounds. The story is actually pretty good. Like i said earlier, your sidekicks can help you. Falco is the one who can occasionally locate alternate routes through the stages and he's also a good fighter. Peppy is the most useful one, because he can give you some gameplay tips, like how to brake, boost, make a somersault and most ironically doing a barrel roll. Slippy is the worst one of the bunch. He can useful by analyzing the shield of the boss, but most of the time he's just annoying. He talks in a girly voice that doesn't fit him and he constantly gets in danger and calls you for help. It makes you want to shoot him instead of helping him. Remember when i said that i was getting to another game that shares the same problem as Ocarina of Time and Yoshi's Island? Well, this is exactly the case here. It could have been a perfect game, if it wasn't for that one annoying thing standing in it's way. But, the game is still amazing nonetheless.

#6 Star Wars Rogue Squadron
It's well known as one of the best Star Wars video games ever made and it really is. The gameplay is a lot of fun, you're a spaceship from the original trilogy, shoot enemies that stand in your way and protect your team. It's a bit like Star Fox, but there are no annoying characters this time and you're in the Star Wars universe. There's not much else to say. I recommend this game to any Star Wars fans.

#5 Conker's Bad Fur Day
Don't let this cute little squirrel fool you, because this game is definitely not for kids. It's rated M. This game has an interesting backstory. It was supposed to be a rated E platform game called Conker's Twelve Tales. They even released a trailer for it. But, it wasn't well received. Many people claimed that it was a boring family friendly platform game. So, Rare decided to make an adult video game, so that it could have more praise. And the result is that people actually liked it. It stars a alcoholic squirrel who goes on this crazy adventure that has violence, toilet humor, coarse language and more. The game is weird, but great at the same time. It has a great sense of humor. The story is also pretty good. If you're a fan of adult cartoons like South Park, Rick and Morty, Futurama or Family Guy, this is the game for you. I recommend you give this game a try, but you must be ages 18 and up to play it.

#4 GoldenEye 007
What do you know. A video game based on a movie that is actually pretty good. But, i consider this game to be better and more memorable than the actual movie which is very rare for a video game to surpass the movie it's based on. It's an amazing first person shooter and the graphics are great for a Nintendo 64 game. The multiplayer mode is also a lot of fun. This game will make you feel like an actual spy and even look like James Bond.

#3 Banjo-Kazooie
This game is an amazing rated E platform game. I love this game. Banjo and Kazooie make a great team and an amazing video game duo. This game has the charm of the old classic cartoons of Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera, because many elements and sound effects are cartoony. This game also has a great sense of humor, especially from Kazooie. The story is a bit weird, because it's a bit like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The evil witch Gruntilda is jealous of Banjo's sister's beauty and kidnaps her to make her ugly and herself much more prettier by stealing her beauty. Luckily, Banjo and Kazooie are there to save the day. The names of the main characters are inspired by these musical instruments: a banjo and a kazoo. I highly recommend you play this game.

#2 Super Smash Bros
This is a fantastic crossover of Nintendo's most iconic mascots. I absolutely love it. I love the style of fighting game they used, because it's much more different than Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I'm glad that this game turned into a series and the sequels are actually even better and even more amazing to play. I recommend this to any Nintendo fans. This is the perfect fighting game and crossover for Nintendo.

#1 Super Mario 64
This game is revolutionnary as one of the first 3D video games ever made and the results are fantastic. Everything in this game is perfect. You can go inside the castle and the paintings are actually portals that lead to the main levels. You have to collect 120 stars to save Peach from Bowser's curse. You fight Bowser 3 times by grabbing his tail and throw him to a bomb. This game is a lot of fun. You might say that many games in the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 1 era didn't age well, because of how the games look compared to better quality games on PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, GameCube, Wii, etc. But, you can still tell that these games looked amazing and that time. Super Mario 64 still looks great even to this day. It's not only one of the best Mario games ever made, but also one of the best video games of all time. This game is definitely a masterpiece.

The ESRB could not give "The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask" an E10+ rating because the ESRB did not add the E10+ rating until 2005.
