Nintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 (N64) is the third home gaming console made by Nintendo to be released internationally. It was so named because it could support 64 bits, a large jump from the SNES's 16 bits. The console was released in 1996, and played video games with Three Dimensional visual, the first Nintendo console to do this.
Games
Of all the hundreds of games released for the N64, there were only two Zelda games produced: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
