I got Ocarina of Time 3D last year - i'm sorry people - it's taken me a while to review it - let's just say it's awesomeness consumed me into a 3D induced coma. The effects are, and i know this is kind of taken for granted due to the whole brand-new-effects-so-awesome-they-induce-a-coma marketing, pretty mind explodingly incredible - like on Jesus scale. And that's a big scale. That guy is pretty famous. Everyone who is allowed by law to call themselves a gamer has experienced or at least witnessed a Zelda game, and this is Ocarina of Time 3D is an awesome game made just that little bit more awesome.
So let's run through the basics. We all know the plotline, characters, controls blehg blehg blehg - the game is well known - i can't go into that detail. So what sets 3D apart from the rest of the Zelda family. 3D Ocarina of Time is the cool aunt of the family that's so rich she gives you like £100 for your birthday and thinks of herself as tight. 3D Ocarina of Time is the sweet old lady that you call Grandma, who due to recent senility has taken to calling you Ethel, but can still remember that you don't like gravy but love shortbread. Basically, what i'm saying here through the tiring medium of metaphor is 3D Ocarina of Time is the best parts of all families, dysfunctional or technological. From the start - the graphics work overtime to create this ideal world of Link's childhood (something i didn't like was the opportunity to change your name from Link to your actual real name which I never liked doing because that just felt too sad - to actually believe it was you fighting in a dungeon made out of a giant sea blob, but i'm not sure if that is new or not - I cannot remember). You begin with this birds eye view of the world in 3D which is like :O mofo took me into animated world of pixies and shit. Things just get better from there - but one of my favourite features has to be the 'view' option which enables the view on screen to change with the movement of the console. For example, if I had some in-game time on my hands I could go into 'View' mode and just spin around in a circle in my room watching the 3D land go past my tiny, baffled brain. I would probably then go and puke for a bit - but after that the spinning would happen again. A vicious, but exhilarating cycle.
So, all in all, if you own a 3DS, are planning to own one, or even if you don't own one - you should steal one right out of GAME just to play Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. Thank me after the court case.
