Summary
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a remake of Ocarina of Time with more up-to-date graphics, streamlined UI and different additional game modes. Most textures are significantly more detailed, and many models are more faithful to the game's concept and promotional art. In addition, the frame rate has been increased to 30 FPS compared to the original's 20 FPS.
A young boy named Link was raised in the village of the elf-like Kokiri people. One day a fairy named Navi introduces him to the village's guardian, the Great Deku Tree. It appears that a mysterious man has cursed the tree, and Link is sent to the Hyrule Castle to find out more. Princess Zelda tells Link that Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudo tribe, seeks to obtain the Triforce, a holy relic that grants immense power to the one who possesses it. Link must do everything in his power to obtain the Triforce before Ganondorf does, and save Hyrule.

I was 11 years old when a random stranger in a restaurant gave me $100 to buy something that I cherish for years to come. I bought this game. Ironically, Ocarina of Time changed my life for the better. It made me realize that games were art and it inspired me to create and write. The emotional rollercoaster in terms of game design, music, and characters is mindblowing. I don't think Nintendo has made another game with this kind of emotional storytelling. I hope we get another remake of this game because it's a true classic.

First game beaten in 2025! A true masterpiece to this day, and I love how the 3DS cleans up the graphics while keeping it the classic Ocarina of Time we all love.
This game was gifted to me as a Christmas present for the Nintendo 64 when it first came out. It was one of the greatest memories and times of my life, and playing this again brought back all of those warm and fuzzy memories!

This is hands down one of the best games, if not the best game ever made. It firstly revolutionized the gaming industry and the story behind its creation is just so interesting. Besides that this game offers an incredible openworld with many but not too many activities. The main story is one of the best ever in any game. The 7 year jump and the story elements and activities that come with it are so unique. The characters all have their amazing backround and specialities which makes this game feel so alive. The game mechanics are great and as a remastered it did its job perfectly. I can meatride this game endlessly and its just perfection in every way.

In the midyear drought of new games, I decided to actually go back into my backlog and complete some stuff.
Now here's a bit of a shameful secret of mine, despite BOTW being one of my favourite games of all time, I've never actually finished any other Zelda games besides Twilight Princess. Ocarina of Time being THE Zelda game, I decided to complete this one first as I officially started my Zelda Marathon.
My history OOT is a brief one. I picked it up as a kid, played to the point of getting to Adult Link, saw a re dead and dropped the game because I was too chicken to continue playing.
I started playing the N64 version on my switch however the 20fps and extremely slow crawling text was making me lose my mind. After hearing the 3ds version fixed all those issues, me play that version instead.
People are definitely right about OOT being THE Zelda game as it has everything you would expect from a Zelda game without any gimmicks that newer Zelda games tend to have. An 8 dungeon romp with a nice little open world with enough puzzles and secrets to keep you entertained for hours and hours. It was quite a masterpiece back then and still is today.
The story of this game is pretty basic, evil man wants the ultimate power to rule the world and you're the chosen hero to stop him. However the strength is not in the story but the world of Hyrule, which the way this is executed continues to make this game a masterpiece to this day. The way how you spend the first half of this game as a child exploring all of Hyrule, meeting characters all over the world and learning about their lives through side quests, and then travelling 7 years into the future after Ganondorf has taken over Hyrule and seeing how this has affected all the character's lives you have met 7 years later is so immersive and masterful.
The gameplay is also fun. The combat isn't anything to write home about however the puzzles and exploration in this game are still unmatched. Dungeons are self explanatory; a series of rooms full of puzzles you need to solve with the items you have acquired throughout the game, which are absolutely so fun to solve and I believe is the core of OOT. The exploration is *Mwah chefs kiss*. There is no feeling more rewarding than exploring an open world, seeing a place you can't get to, and then coming back to that place once you realise you have the item to help you get there, only to be rewarded with a new item, or heart piece. This satisfaction of exploration definitely scratches my metroidvania itch.
OOT is great solid masterpiece that I can recommend to anyone. The N64 version on the Switch is still playable if you don't care about framerate and slow crawling text, however I recommend picking up the 3ds version if you can.
I also implore Nintendo to port the 3ds version of this game and Majora's Mask to the switch. I would pay the full $99 for that.

I feel nostalgic for this game, even though i never played it before 😭 However, it is not perfect, especially from today's point of view: Some parts were very frustrating and unclear to me and I really dont know of I would have been able to play this game past the first few dungeons as a child.. Still it feels like a revoultionary videogame and piece of art
