  Finally, a small but extremely welcome alteration is the text display speed; the N64 version plodded along very slowly, and if you hit B to skip proceed faster, it often blasted through the entire conversation instead of just that one dialog box. Now, text moves much faster, getting you in and out of long conversations more quickly.

  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D brings an endearing classic back to life for a new generation of gamers to experience… even if Navi is still as annoying as ever.

  While other games have built on many of the mechanics and ideas The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time brought to the industry, somehow Link's N64 debut still feels as fresh and exciting now as it did 13 years ago. We knew then that Miyamoto and co had made a classic, but it's only now that we can see just how revolutionary Ocarina of Time actually was.

  Ocarina is a game that stands the test of time. It's a great showcase of the system's 3D capabilities, and a definite must own for a starved library devoid of any real killer apps.

  If nothing else, Ocarina 3D is a sign of great things to come, because if the 3DS can pull off such a lovely rendition of this deep and deeply satisfying classic, just imagine what sort of new Zelda adventures the system might offer in the future.

  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is more than just a re-make. Sure, the story is the same, and if you've played it before, everything will feel instantly familiar. But if you fell in love with Ocarina of Time when it originally released, the revamped visuals, new interface, and bonus content will be enough to get you back into the game. Ocarina of Time 3D truly shines on the 3DS, and even though this version is optimized for handhelds, it is definitely the ultimate version of the game.

  At the end of the day it can be summed up that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time finds a new home on Nintendo’s newest handheld console and the visual and gameplay improvements that have been crafted help make a game that suits the modern generation of gamers today. Although the core gameplay has been left untouched, there is just enough added or changed to make it not only interesting to veterans of the game, but it introduces the title in such a way that newbies will find much to love here.

  Ocarina of Time 3D is a game that makes you appreciate how far the medium has come. Ten years ago, the idea of running something like Ocarina on a handheld system would be inconceivable. Now, not only do we get it, but we get an improved version with superior graphics. That's the sort of thing that fascinates me, and makes me very happy to be a gamer in the here and now.

  This is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, just as you remember it, reborn for a new portable system and a new generation of gamers across the globe. If you have never played this classic game, stop reading this review and get out there and buy it. The core essence of Ocarina of Time ages exceptionally well (even in light of sequels that have expanded on it), and it's never looked better.

  Though its roots show through from time to time, the improved visuals remove any barrier of entry that age may have posed. The new elements enhance the core adventure to create the definitive version of this classic game, making Ocarina of Time 3D the best way to embark on (or relive) this landmark adventure.
