Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the 3DS

Review of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

By the end of 1998, polygonal 3D games were nothing new and games on rival platforms such as the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn had all gone into the third dimension. Could Nintendo really deliver the biggest game of all time and live up to the expectations? Sure up until then the Legend of Zelda featured a long and successful back catalogue, but pedigree can’t always guarantee success. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was known to be in development for around four years and at the time this was almost unheard of – as was missing the release...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time 3D review

Ocarina of Time is one of those games that has passed me by over the past 10 years. I never got round to playing it on the N64 and I even downloaded it on the Wii’s Virtual Console and it’s been sitting there ever since unplayed. I suppose you’ll also scoff when I say I’ve never seen any of the Godfather movies and refuse to watch School of Rock. I’m just not interested. In fact, I’ve never really got fully into any of the proper console Zelda games and have actually preferred the various versions on the Gameboy Advance and...

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword release date

There was plenty of good news at Nintendo’s E3 press conference and a little bad. First the good, we finally got our first look at the new Wii Zelda title, The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. The bad news is that the game has slipped from its original Christmas 2010 schedule. Let’s not dwell on that too much though because, we finally saw the new Zelda. For starters we now know that Skyward Sword for Wii is a MotionPlus only title, the add-on unit for the Wii Remote will provide greater accuracy and more realistic sword fighting and archery skills....

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks review

Phantom Hourglass was a first for the Zelda franchise as it followed on from where The Wind Waker left off. The game proved to be a huge success despite some frustrating repetition as you had to keep fighting through the same dungeon in order to progress. Spirit Tracks takes Link away from the ocean and puts him in a little steam train which delivers a similar experience to sailing around the land, only now you’re literally on rails. This time you’re actually playing as a different boy who dons the green garb to defeat an ancient demon. The Spirit Tower...
