Summary
Almost everyone has heard of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and those who have been lucky enough to play it in its original 1998 Nintendo 64 incarnation will come into this 3DS version with a fountain of fond memories. Here we have the first real, bona-fide remake of arguably the Best Game Ever Made.
The timeless gameplay of the original hasn’t been altered one bit, but you can expect to see some updated graphics - the world of Hyrule looks fantastically crisp and highly detailed, and that’s before you’ve even flipped on the 3D slider.
This is a game where you’ll feel comfortable with the slider fired up all the way to the top. Hyrule comes to life with fireflies dancing in front of the top screen, while sparks of fire flicker around when exploring the Dodongo’s Cavern.
First-person perspective takes great advantage of the handheld’s gyro sensor, allowing you to physically move the console around to better aim or see your surroundings. The novice may want to whack down the 3D slider in these instances, but you won’t want to use the Circle Pad to look around once you’ve experienced this.
More important than the things that have changed, are the things that have stayed exactly the same. And it’s those reasons why The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will captivate players the world over once more when it arrives on the 3DS this Summer
