The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is an upcoming action-adventure video game co-developed by Grezzo and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console.[5] Slated for a release in June, the game will feature the original version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the rearranged dungeons from the Master Quest version of the game, along with updated graphics and added 3D effects.

Gameplay

The gameplay for the remake will be very similar to the original version, albeit with some modifications made to the game. One new feature is the use of the touch screen to switch out items, boots, and tunics.[6] The game can use the system's gyroscopic technology to look around and aim the player's bow, boomerang, and slingshot in first-person mode, unless the player chooses to use the classic D-pad control to aim.[7][8] The 3DS version has been confirmed to contain the modified Master Quest dungeons and mirrored overworld[9] in addition to the original game, and a new "Boss Challenge" mode that allows the player to fight all of the bosses one at a time, or in sequential order, much like the boss battle mode from Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.[10] Master Quest will have its own version of the "Boss Challenge" mode, where the game will be mirrored and enemies will do twice the usual amount of damage.[11] Also confirmed is the inclusion of brief 5-10 second video clips called "Visions" that serve as hints in case some new players get lost. It was also revealed that the Stone Of Agony will be replaced with the Shard Of Agony, which serves the same purpose, only with a sound signal to inform the players of secrets nearby. This is due to the fact that the rumble feature is not available with the 3DS.[12]

Plot

Main article: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time § Story

The player controls the series' trademark hero, Link, in the land of Hyrule. Link sets out on a quest to stop Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo tribe, from obtaining the Triforce, a sacred relic that grants the wishes of its holder. Link travels through time and navigates various dungeons to awaken sages who have the power to seal Ganondorf away. Music plays an important role—to progress, the player must learn to play and perform several songs on an ocarina.

Development

Though Shigeru Miyamoto originally maintained that it was merely a tech demo with the possibility of being developed into a full game,[13] Nintendo of America officially announced the production of a Nintendo 3DS version of Ocarina of Time via its Twitter page.[14] Alongside Star Fox 64, the title was chosen to be remade for the Nintendo 3DS because they were two examples of games that they made for the Nintendo 64 that were limited by the Nintendo 64's hardware, and the developers wanted to make them on more advanced hardware.[citation needed] Series designer Shigeru Miyamoto noted that timing was important in the re-release of Ocarina of Time, as they did not want to remake the game too soon. Another reason why he wanted to wait was so that the people who played Ocarina of Time when they were younger were now in their mid-20s. He also wanted players to experience the "majestic scenery of Hyrule in stereoscopic 3D" and provide the sense of "really being there".[6] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is being co-developed by Nintendo and Grezzo.[5]

Promotion

In Australia, anyone who pre-orders the game from EB Games can receive the Ocarina Edition, which includes a playable ocarina that sports the Triforce symbol and two music sheets featuring songs from the game.[15] In Greece, anyone who pre-orders the game from Nintendo's online store can receive 5 bonus items. The items are an ocarina, a baseball hat, a keychain, a sleeve for the 3DS, and a can of Deku Tree seeds.[16] In the UK, anyone who pre-orders the game will get the free game case with North American collectors cover and double-sides poster.[citation needed] Anyone who pre-orders the game from Play.com will get a bonus slip case for the 3DS console featuring the same artwork as the UK game box. In the U.S., anyone who registers the game through Nintendo's Club Nintendo service will receive a full soundtrack CD.

Reception

The game was available to the public at Nintendo's Nintendo World 2011 event; the title attracted significant amounts of attention, with longer wait times to play than any other featured title.[17] Nintendo Power gave it a rating of 9.5 out of 10, stating that the core gameplay held up impressively well, and that it never feels like a lesser game than what we've become accustomed to, but rather, it has a back-to-basics feel.[citation needed] It currently has a score of 97 on Metacritic.[18]
