LEGENDARY STATUS Ocarina of Timeis widely seen as ‘the greatest game of all time,’ but Ocarina of Time 3Dis no pale imitation. The game is the highest rated 3DS title with a 94 Metacritic score. Eurogamerawarded the 3DS title 10/10 saying that it “is one of the greatest things that video games have ever achieved.” Official Nintendo Magazinewent with 98, saying “It is nothing short of magical.”
WHEN WRITING about a game considered to be one of the greatest of all time, it’s easy to hark on about sales and ignore the finer details. But to do that to Nintendo 64’s 1998 release Ocarina of Timewould do the game an injustice. Whether its riding a horse across the field of Hyrule or pulling the Master Sword from its stone, the game is full of magical moments that make it a true action adventure spectacle. Gameplay is a blend of sword- based combat, exploration, puzzle- solving and collecting, with an array of weapons to discover – including a Hookshot that launches protagonist Link up to out-of-reach ledges. Earlier this year Nintendo brought Ocarina of Timeto 3DS with revised 3D graphics, touch screen and gyroscope functionality, as well as Boss Challenge and Master Quest modes for more experienced players – all running at 30 frames per second. Nintendo UK junior product manager Roger Langford tells MCV:

“The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3Dtakes one of the greatest games ever produced and adds a host of new features, making it an incredible experience for fans as well as the perfect entry point into the world of Zeldafor newcomers.”
STANDING THE TEST OF TIME The original Ocarina of Time was Christmas No.1 and has the highest ever Metacritic score of 99. Ocarina of Time 3Dhas
followed in that game’s footsteps, selling over 1m units by the end of its first month and boasting a Metacritic rating of 94. It debuted at No.2 in the Chart-Track All Formats Charts, with 20 per cent of the handheld’s userbase buying the game in its first two days. Still going strong, even after 13
years, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3Dis an essential purchase for any 3DS owner.
