The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the 3DS

The first Zelda game in 3D graphics... Game of the year in 1998... Argued to be the greatest Zelda game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is apparently coming to the Nintendo 3DS

they should release it to the public for free, since its not an actual new game or anything.

It's getting a new make-over though. The graphics look more like Skyward Sword's. Besides, when has anyone EVER released a remake for free?

I'm just hoping for a Majora's Mask remake now... and maybe a 3D A Link to the Past...

Oh, there's 6 images now.

Does Ocarina of Time really need a remake? Oh well, hope all you 3DS owners enjoy it but they better not put Tingle in the game or make the Well Dungeon and Shadow Temple less scary.

I kinda get the feeling they are simply giving it a graphical overhaul, and putting it in 3D. What I have seen of the images, it looks exactly like Ocarina of Time as it was seen on the N64, only with new graphics.

Remakes tend to have additional things thrown in.

Resident Evil GCN had Lisa Trevor, Tomb Raider Anniversary had extra areas and unlockables, Super Mario 64 DS had extra characters, Metroid Zero Mission had an extended game, Metal Gear Solid: SS had exaggerated cutscenes and MGS2 gameplay, etc.

Well, we'll see what happens as more is revealed. They may update the fighting... perhaps being able to use the sword from atop Eponia? Changes to the way the Ocarina is used? Perhaps some new side-quests? Longer Shadow Link battle?

You know what? Just for the fun of it, I found this online, and thought I would post it for those 2 people out there who have 3D glasses. I will soon since there are several boxes of them at the theater I work at from when Shark Boy & Lava Girl was released.

I hope they change absolutely nothing except the graphics and swordplay.

Great game, but I kind of preferred Majora's Mask.

Agreed

This has me excited. Will certainly own a 3DS.

Oh. My. God.

This looks absolutely amazing. This is #1 on my "to get" list, hands down.

I just hope that they handle this more carefully than they ever have handled anything before. I mean, this is the god of all games, after all. <== Fanboy

Personally? I'm hoping the finished game includes both the original and Master Quest.

That would be sick! I was very impressed with the graphics. Nicely redone, but not unrecognizable.

Personally, that's the biggest thing for me with the 3DS right now. We're getting OoT and SF64, two of my most favorite games from the N64, in 3D with textures at least triple the original resolution.

I second that. That's a veeeery good start in my book.

I don't mind what they do to it, I just hope they do something... If I'm going to spend money on a game, I want it to be different from a game that I already own and can play at any time... On a bigger screen... I don't really care about the 3D gimmick or graphics..
