The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released in November 21, 1998 on the Nintendo 64. It was acclaimed to be the best reviewed game and the best Videogame ever made. Though that may have changed with Call of Duty, and Halo.

This version of the game was made for the 3Ds and was released on June 19, 2011 with updated graphics and new features.


Is this the remake that got 3DS owners begging, or is it just a guilty pleasure to own.
Lets find out!

Story:
This is still the Ocarina of Time that we all remember. If you don't know the story, let me summarize it for you.

The story goes that Link the future hero of Hyrule is living in the Kokeri woods sleeping, the great Deku tree sends Navi to find Link and send him to the great Deku Tree. After Link receives the Medallion from the Great Deku Tree he travels to Hyrule Castle to find Princess Zelda and then he explores the land of Hyrule with Navi. The main villain, Ganondorf then is able to take the power from the Triforce and concurs the Land of Hyrule when Link retrieves the Master Sword from the Temple of Time. Seven years pass, then Link awakens from the Temple and then collects symbols of the six sages to the epic showdown with Ganondorf.

Whew, that's a mouth full.

Gameplay:
The game play is the same as it wasin the game of old. A and B button for action and control stick to move.
The Ocarina uses the X,Y,A,L and R buttons instead of using the 4-C and A button on the Nintendo 64.

The touch screen is used to select your items, map, song list and clothing. This is a welcome edition because you can access the Iron boots right away for the dreadful Water Dungeon.

Other features once you beat the game are a Boss Battle mode and the legendary Master Quest.

ArtStyle:
The Graphics are upgraded in this version of the game. With new textures for the game, and characters. My question is why couldn't they do what Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary did, which was to allow you to swicth between the graphic style's of the Nintendo 64's version and the new graphics.

Music
The music was never fedeled with, that is a blessing where you can hear all the addicting tunes of the Zelda Universe. Like for example:

Korkri Woods:

In total the music is just fitting for every area.

Final Verdict:
To sum up, this game is pretty much Ocarinia of Time just upgraded graphic wise.
This game is one that:

"If you played Ocarinia of Time, you really don't need to get it."
