The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Review

Nintendo 3DS



The Legend of Zelda series has seen its fair share of ports and updates of already existing titles. Now comes one more in the form of a touch up to one of the best known and well loved entries in the series; Ocarina of Time. First released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, Ocarina of Time was for many the first foray into the land of Hyrule and an introduction to some of gaming's most well known and beloved characters.

With the recent release of Nintendo's newest hand-held system, the 3DS, Nintendo needed titles to help sell their system. So it's no wonder that when looking into their back catalog of games, they would choose to touch up and release one of their most revered titles to help sell the system. But with the newly renovated Hyrule, is it enough to ask gamers to come back once more to a land they have most likely seen many times before, or is it doomed to fall into mediocrity once the nostalgia trip fades?
