The 3DS remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time stays true to the original in many ways - the most bizarre being that some bugs from the Nintendo 64 version have been intentionally left in.
3DS developer Grezzo Games revealed that there was an internal debate to have some of the old quirky glitches to remain in the update, simply due to the nostalgia factor. Said programmer Shun Moriya, "One conflict arose when, as programmers, we wanted to get rid of bugs... but the staff members who had played the old game said the bugs were fun! We were like, 'What?!'
"It wouldn’t be fun if your friends couldn’t say, ‘Do you know about this?’ So we left them in if they didn’t cause any trouble and were beneficial. If something simply could not be allowed to stand, we begrudgingly fixed it, so some bugs don’t appear, but we left in as many as we could, so people will grin over that."
