Is it still worth playing?
Grezzo's 2011 remake of Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 3DS. Link learns melodies on the ocarina to solve puzzles, open closed areas and change the time of day, and plays as a boy and as a young man. It runs at 30 frames per second, areas such as the Market use real-time 3D instead of pre-rendered backgrounds, and it adds stereoscopic 3D, a Boss Challenge mode and mirrored Master Quest dungeons. The inventory and the ocarina are on the touchscreen, and the gyroscope aims the bow, boomerang, hookshot and slingshot. Sheikah Stones show hint videos. Its dungeons still make a good case for playing today, a mix of puzzle rooms and mazes that test your memory, with controls that suit the 3DS.
