Selects: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS

I bought a 2ds specifically to play this again. I though maybe i was overdoing it spending $100+ just to play this again but I was wrong. I have really enjoyed this game and dispite remembering the graphics being just as good on the N64, they weren’t! The 3ds Version has a definite bump up! Also, If you like games that aren’t easy get this. I didn’t realize how bad (and easy) games had become lately until I played this again.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that this game has graphical updates to most of the game assets. This breathes new life into a game that was really great but getting a bit dated by the graphical quality of the N64. Loads of fun to play and I have been enjoying the new little tidbits as well. Definitely great for a playthrough whether you played the original or not.

The only things that could make LOZ: Ocarina of Time a better game were improved graphics and the ability to play anywhere. This game delivers both of those improvements while maintaining the epic adventure we fell in love with many years ago.

Ok, let's be clear. If you thought that the original release was epic. This 3DS version makes the best game even better. The 3D element works perfectly here especially in the dungeons. It is pretty much the same game in terms of story and basic gameplay. However, some modifications improved on the layout of the overall games and controls are easily managed. If you're a fan of Zelda or the original 1998 release. This version is clearly worthy of your revisit or first time playing.

Graphics are smoothed out but it definitely still feels like the 64. Fun to play and more convenient then digging out the 64 unless you wanna have some nostalgia.
