Same as in any other classic FPS, the N64 has four C-buttons for directional control in addition to the stick. By default however it uses a Doom1/Duke3D-style control scheme, not a modern one, meaning the stick doing forward/backward/turn-left/turn-right, while the C-buttons are doing look-up/down and strafing. Modern games just switch the turn and strafing around. That said, Goldeneye, along with Perfect Dark, both have numerous alternative control options, one of them is using two gamepads, so you can have two analog stick and control it just like any modern shooter. N64 controller is pretty unique in being usable with only one hand.
