The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

The problem with remastered classics is that they so rarely live up to their status, or indeed your own memories. What was once revolutionary now seems antiquated. Visuals that once evoked awe now evoke nothing more than pity. Developers face a choice between enhancing the game beyond all recognition or throwing out something that the majority of the playing public won't want to buy or play; 5, 10, 15 years later, most games just don't stand up.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is an exception. Playing what's supposed to be one of the best and most-loved games of all time, you come away thinking that it's still one of the best and understanding why it's so much loved. While Nintendo's 3DS remaster isn't perhaps all that it could have been, it succeeds in making the dated graphics look less dated and throwing in a few 3DS-specific features. Most importantly, the game beneath still shines.

Ocarina of Time 3D can feel old-school and some of the ideas it introduced have been expanded on umpteen times in subsequent games, yet it remains one of the most graceful, seamless and engaging works of game design ever produced. Think of it like the first Star Wars trilogy: it's of its time and the technology is no longer cutting-edge, but that doesn't mean it isn't great.

Let's get the disappointments out of the way first of all. Graphically, this is an update rather than a wholesale remake. If you were hoping for something on the scale of what Capcom did with Resident Evil on the Gamecube, Ocarina of Time 3D isn’t it. Characters, landscapes and monsters look smoother and rounder than they did on the N64, but they still have a weird, very angular appearance, and while many textures have been replaced and backgrounds rebuilt in full 3D, we’re talking enhancement, nothing more. On the plus side, the original game had character and none of this has been lost. Ocarina of Time 3D still looks and feels like Ocarina of Time, but it’s a version you can play without looking at the screen and wincing.

There are also some elements of the game that could have done with updating or fixing. The save system, which saves the status of the world but not your actual position in it, is a menace, and most of us will use the 3DS's close-to-sleep function when we want a rest. Some of the camera angles, particularly in certain boss battles, are terrible. It's impossible to lock on to a specific part of a monster's body if you can't even see it, and it just adds insult to injury when the camera has decided that what you really want is a nice view of the other side of a wall.
