Well, this is definitely a simple review to write. You know the Ocarina of Time, most popular, successful and loved Zelda game of all time? The "million-selling franchise ushered in the third dimension and endeared an entire generation of link, Ganon and the legend of Zelda? It's all here, each dungeon, element, secret and Skulltula, now in the Palm of your hand. But it's not a hasty port-this is a thoroughly prettier and smoother experience than 1998 original, making it the best version of this already legendary experience.
Above: as you can see. Links have been upgraded.
Above: It gets better – literally everything that received a cure of youth, adding clarity and detail previously blurred areas. Notice how you can see the mountain of the death of this location in the version of 3DS
Recently played through the version N64 Ocarina of time just so I would have a firm understanding of the differences in the Edition 3DS. For the most part, everything is identical; the script is largely unchanged, as item locations and memorable Soundtrack. Major differences, as I already mentioned, are Visual. Top to bottom, this is a slick looking game, with more detailed models and more vibrant design than the original fuzzy. In addition, his Link animations are smoother, making moves slightly more realistic. This fluidity extends outside of the link too, so that other creatures and NPC blogs have a tad more spring in their step.
Above: one of the few differences-the Stone of Agony (formerly an N64 Rumble Pak) is now the Shard of Agony, and flashes when secrets are nearby
The improvements but does not end with graphics and animation. The entire lower screen is inventory that previously by pausing the game and flipping through four pages of content was accessed. Once there, could you three elements to the N64 or the GameCube's face buttons, i.e. every time, if you needed to which modify elements (or equipment different boots, shields or tunics), had to stop you and leaves you by assigning all the crap again. The Ocarina has now an own dedicated button in the lower left corner, which releases to a slot immediately. You can then assign elements to the X and Y buttons, plus two additional elements in the I and II slots on the touch screen.
This gives you instant access to five pieces of inventory at any given time. This just speeds up the game considerably, but it also means that you can set this as the boots of iron to the button and simply touch to equip and UN – equip. This simple fact made to the Temple of water a much less irritating process, as is alleviaties one of the constant complaints about the Dungeon.
Above: the Water Temple also has this new color paths you to important points in the Dungeon. Useful, but not babying if you are concerned about losing your hardcore cred
Finally, a small but very welcome change speed display text. found in the N64 version plodded along very slowly, and if you hit b to skip forward faster, often through this entire discussion instead of just one dialogue. Now, text moves much more quickly, more quickly get your long chats. All these strokes, large and small, add up to make it the definitive version of Ocarina of Time … but this does not mean that it is perfect.
In 1998, Ocarina was revolutionary. The size of the world, the number of areas to explore, the scope of the history of travel time who sees the link to change child to adult and takes him to volcanoes in dungeons to haunted dungeons… it was unprecedented for a console game. For a solid, exciting experience and be the first 3D iteration of The Legend of Zelda has been nothing less than mind-blowing. To date, millions will parade it as the best game of all time.
Like it or not, which is simply not the case today. Ocarina especially bad is dropping excessively vague hints (or no advice at all) what to do next. There are a handful of extremely important articles (for example, fire arrows, lens of truth or same Epona) that are buried under a layer of riddles which do not quite add up. Back in the day, we expected games mysterious and obtuse; Today, we are all accustomed to the mechanics that drive us from one place to the other, even if it is an almost unconscious level. It is not on the hand-holding or over-tutorializing, which is another matter with today's games – it's basic design and Ocarina has always had this problem, especially from Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
Speaking of the two, improved the battle system that was a pioneer in the Ocarina. Make no mistake, locking of OoT for battles 3D (called Z-Targeting, if you're up in the jargon of Nintendo) was a brilliant innovation and was dragged in WW and TP the ability to focus on an enemy and strafe around her, while also capable of going up and down his shield, as well as backflip or leap forwarddid match exciting and intense; Meanwhile, WW and TP added layers to this idea, making Ocarina feel at least in comparison. It is not a huge amount, but after turning in and around enemies in Wind Waker and bad snapshot-KO-ing in Princess, I felt inhibited by lack of the link of movements in the Ocarina.
True, it is the way it has always been, and this finally port version 3DS, so adding new combat options will make this some strange hybrid game and not a true conversion of the original Ocarina of time. But, this new release, so we have to compare it with the modern experience; Nintendo wants you to pay money for this new version, not thinking back on how great the old one, so we should then be criticized for game 1998-era that did not improve. This extends to targeting, which often went haywire and focusing on signs or plaques in the living room instead of smashing in the face of the enemy.
If you're accustomed to Zelda Ocarina and how it works, we should not confuse you too. If you have never tried one and eventually succumb to pressure to play Ocarina 3D, could end up scratching your head in more than once. It is a great introduction in the series, no doubt, but be prepared to open a FAQ or ask a friend.
That said, this relatively small irritations in an otherwise expertly designed and paced adventure. They only drag down the experience from time to time, and rarely in a way that takes than that exact moment of frustration. Even if you're a first timer, Ocarina eventually settles you and thrives on her very special designs. As for the return of players, there are a handful of new modes and features to consider …
