N64 emulation is still in the growing stage, and you need a fast computer (and
preferably a 3D accelerator) in order for it to work well.

This emulator is amazing. It's actually easy to configure, and it runs many games (including OoT and MM) perfectly! Highly recommended. |

The first N64 emulator to run commercial games, this project was abandoned and started up again. It's good all-around, but it runs on Glide and so requires a 3DFX card or a Glide wrapper. I've found that this is one of the few emulators that runs Zelda 64 correctly!! |

This promises to be a very good emulator. It's compatible with many games, and it will tell you if a game is going to have errors or not. This emulator will run both OoT and MM, but not very well. |
Nemu64 |

A very compatible emulator. It will work with any 3D accelerator since it uses Direct3D, and with any joystick since it uses Direct Input. Sound emulation is excellent, but I have trouble reading in-game messages sometimes. |

This emulator is very fast but tends to be unstable for some people. The sound seems to be out of synch with gameplay a lot (maybe it's just me, though). |
