Dave Ask any gamer what the best game ever is, and it's highly likely it will be one of Halo, Mario 64. Half-Life, WoW or Ocarina of Time. Ask anyone who knows their games over the age of 25, and the proportion of Ocarina votes goes up - it was a tit...
It's one of the greatest games of all time, in all it's glory; graphical polish enhances without changing too much; brilliant, lengthy adventure, with plenty of side quests and replayable modes; 3D really works well, and is useful without being intrusive; controls work well, and tweaks have stopped previous gripes...
Gyroscopic aiming doesn't work with 3D switched on; doesn't add an awful lot to the original adventure; lack of speech and simplistic puzzles remind you its a thirteen year old game...

The first point to be clear on regarding this game is that it a new Zelda title, but a 3DS remake of the Nintendo 64 adventure Ocarina of Time. At heart, it remains essentially the same game, with protagonist Link in a quest to stop a deadly evil des...
New 3D visuals are impressive; touchscreen inventory is a big plus...
Gyroscopic aiming controls don't mix well with the new 3D graphics.
While it remains essentially the same game as the original 1998 version, the redrawn 3D graphics are smartly implemented, by and large, and the touchscreen inventory makes gameplay that much smoother. Whether veterans of the original will feel it's wor...

Talk about big boots to fill. And yet, this remake manages to impress on a whole new level...
Well measured remake of a classic, good use of 3DS technology, graphical updates are welcome.
Graphics aren’t cutting edge, you might develop RSI from playing this too much.

Released in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (OoT) was for many a defining moment. Released on Nintendo's two year old N64 platform, the game took the cartridge format to new heights, offering a vast adventure and compelling, coming-of-age na...

0emailZelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a remake of the original game which was released on the N64 in 1998. Many consider the N64 version to be one of the best games of all time. This game was the first in the Zelda series to be a 3D polygon world and it w...

Video games generally don’t age well. That’s the nature of a medium that’s driven by technology. But there are always exceptions, and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (ESRB: Everyone 10+) is one of them.One of the most beloved games ever...
It's a faithful recreation of the timeless Nintendo64 classic. Innovations like the realistic passage of time remain as engaging now as they were 13 years ago. Most changes, such as the new touchscreen inventory, serve only to modernize the interface.
It’s nearly impossible to use the gyroscopepowered camera in 3D mode without altering screen orientation and losing the stereoscopic sweet spot.
Just as enchanting as it was in 1998, the 3DS version of this beloved classic is far and away the best game yet released for Nintendo's fledgling handheld system.But there are changes. The most noticeable come in the form of adaptations made to accomm...

is a legend. It was the first N64 game and the first game in the series to be set in a 3D world, rather than a 2D one. While it has received numerous ports, each time they’ve been just that - ports. . is an enhanced port with a few extra features, e...
Looks gorgeous, perfect port, the story spans two time periods, fun side-quests, interesting use of music throughout the adventure, you can unlock the Master Quest to play after the main game, lots of weapons to use, wide variety of enemies, colorful world and environment and it controls fairly easily. 3D effects work perfectly, without being gimmicky. There’s also a Boss Challenge mode and Shei...
Camera can be hard to control if using the gyroscope functions. Water temple is still difficult and tedious. You have to beat the game once to unlock Master Quest.
