Re-living the legend

OVER ALL RATING 9.0


The 3D version of the game
compared to the original version.
Players can also take a break from the action
and do things like fish.
The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time has been part of my life for many many years. So when the remake for the 3DS came out I simply HAD to buy it. The story is exactly the same as before. Ganon pretends to be loyal to the Hylian royal family, he follows Link to the Temple of Time to gain access to the sacred realm, obtains the Triforce of power, and his evil plans are later thwarted by Link and Zelda. There are many things gamers have to be exited about in this game, one of these things is the ability to replay bosses in Links dreams. In the Nintendo 64 version of the game, you can only play the bosses once (for my favorite boss Twinrova, I would get close to winning then die just so I could play them again!) in this game you can go to Links bed in his house and replay boss battles.  Another thing is the playability, players are able to equip 4 (5 including the ocarina) items, were as in the N64 version you can only hold 3 at a time. This makes the dreaded Water Temple so much easier because you can put on the iron boot by equipping it and pressing the button, in the N64 version you have to pause every time you want to put them on. The game also comes with a Master Quest Mode which can be unlocked after finishing the original quest. Side quest's were one of the few things that I was disappointed with. This goes for the N64 version of the game as well. There are only a few side quest's in the game such as getting the biggorons sword, trading mask's, and finding gold skulltula's.

The terrain of hyrule is absolutely spectacular.  
All in all the game is just as good as the Nintendo64 version if not better. If you have a 3DS you absolutely need this game.
