This is the way Zelda was meant to be played. I spent many an hour in my youth fighting with the controls more than anything. On the 3DS, it feels like a dream. I'm a friggen Hyrule murderer. My only complaint is that even though we're a long way from 2011, it's still $50. Thanks, Nintendo. However, I bought this game as a gift on the high recommendations (my wife had never played OOT before), and she absolutely loves it. Totally worth.



The writing is more concise. The controls are top notch and seamless. Honestly, the Water Temple was enjoyable because of the controls. Who the hell thought that'd ever be possible? New players seriously benefit from the hint videos (no more keeping your nintendo power issue open the entire length of the game). I'm really looking forward to master mode after beating the game. Haven't gotten there yet, just have to keep plugging on.



The 3D is among the best produced of any 3DS game I've played. Most 3D causes my wife's eyes to water; surprisingly, this is the only game so far that hasn't. I think that speaks to the quality.



Whether you've played it before, or you're playing it for the first time, this is one of the most enjoyable journeys on the 3DS. You don't wanna miss it.
