It's great to have the most famous Zelda game on handheld. Ocarina of Time was widely acclaimed when it was first released for the Nintendo 64. Those who never played it before can now play it the 3DS. Legend of Zelda-Ocarina of Time starts out with a young Link having a nightmare about a strange man on a black horse chasing a young girl and her guardian. What he doesn't realize, that dream was going to be the start of his journey. With the help of Navi (his fairy guardian and guide), Link sets out from his home in Kokiri Forest to find the three scared jewels that unlock the Sacred Land where the Triforce and Master Sword that is located in the Temple of Time. During his journey, Link gets a Fairy Ocarina and learns several songs.

After finding all three sacred jewels, Link goes back to Hyrule Town and sees that his dream comes true when he watch Ganondorf chase after Princess Zelda and her Sheik guardian, Impa. Then, Link finds the Ocarina of Time that Princess Zelda meant to give him in the moat and sleeps in the Temple of Time for seven years so he can become the Hero of Time he is suppose to be.

The 3DS remake of Zelda-Ocarina of Time is a great game to play. It has amazing graphics and the music sounds great. Also, the game looks great when you turn on the 3D part, but sometimes you get a double image which is distracting at times. The main things that annoyed me while playing this game during the beginning were traveling the almost empty Hyrule Field, which took forever, and having to leave Link's house in Kokiri Forest and traveling through the aformention field after saving and starting the save file. This got better after getting several teleport songs and Epona, which made traveling easier. The boss fights are very interesting and annoying at times. Also, Legend of Zelda-Ocarina of Time has many puzzles, sidequests, and missable items which can make the game fun and annoying at times. On the other hand, it's great having a handheld remake of this classic addition to the Legend of Zelda game series. It's definitely worth adding to your video game collection if you're a major fan of the Zelda series or love playing games with a lot of puzzles.
