Nintendo<\/a> has finally bid farewell to the 3DS<\/a>, but this by no means a sad occasion. The 3DS had a magnificent life, building a stellar library of games that made use of the hardware better than most gamers even realize. Arguably the cream of the crop are Grezzo\u2019s interpretations of two Nintendo 64<\/a> classics, <\/span>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i><\/a>was a launch title, <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask\u2019s 3D <\/span><\/i><\/a>released alongside the New 3DS, both games serving as landmarks of sorts in the greater scope of the 3DS\u2019 history. Remakes of two of the best <\/span>Zelda <\/span><\/i>games, <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Majora<\/span><\/i>\u2019<\/span>s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>take vastly different approaches when it comes to honoring the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>OoT 3D: Amazing Showcase Of 3DS Hardware<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The 3DS\u2019 3D feature isn\u2019t exactly reviled so much as it is generally ignored by the greater gaming community. It was always seen as a gimmick by audiences and it\u2019s even arguable the 3DS exceeded in spite of its 3D. Which is all of a bit of a shame considering how incredible the 3DS\u2019 stereoscopic 3D can be. Case in point: <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtually every color, aesthetic, or design change made between the N64 and 3DS versions can be justified by the 3D. Not only does playing with 3D make the game far more vibrant, it gradually builds to a level of immersion that frankly should have defined the 3DS\u2019 legacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>MM 3D: Amazing Showcase Of New 3DS Hardware<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Given the 3DS\u2019 incredibly long life span, it only made sense for Nintendo to improve upon the handheld a number of times over the course of its life. <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u2019s release was intimately linked to that of the New 3DS, specifically utilizing the hardware to push sales. While <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>is still playable on regular 3DS, New 3DS offers full camera control, faster load times, and smoother gameplay altogether. <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>is to the New 3DS what <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>is to the 3DS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>OoT 3D: Only Fixes Major Issues<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>is notorious for overcorrecting, an issue its predecessor remake did not have. <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>only fixes what it absolutely needs to, going so far as to leave harmless glitches untouched. <\/span>OoT 3D<\/span><\/i>\u2019s biggest changes to the gameplay come in through the Water Temple. Not only has the dungeon been redesigned to telegraph where water levels can be changed, Iron & Hover Boots are now regular items in order to make underwater traversal faster.\u00a0 Beyond that, <\/span>OoT 3D <\/span><\/i>doesn\u2019t fix what isn\u2019t broken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>MM 3D: Better Use Of Touch Screen<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>commits to its touch screen, but not in the wisest of ways. Not only is moving items unituive with buttons (ignoring the fact opening the menu is impossible without touch controls,) but the inventory screen is an absolute mess that players need to keep track of themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time & 9 Other Games In The Series That Need Switch Ports<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>retains much of the same touch screen features as <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D<\/span><\/i>, regular controls are far more fluid, equipping items around no longer rearranges them in the menu, and the general UI is cleaner while being more intuitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>OoT 3D: Atmosphere\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While both <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>have justifiably criticized for their bright lighting, it\u2019s at least justifiable in the former\u2019s case. The brighter lighting goes hand in hand with the stereoscoping 3D. Not just that, changes in color and texture are often done to match <\/span>Ocarina of Time<\/span><\/i>\u2019s in-game visuals to that of the concept art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even artistic changes\u2013 like the pink sky during the final battle with Ganon\u2013 exist to play off the capabilities of the 3DS\u2019 hardware. It\u2019s not 1:1 to the original N64 release in this regard, but <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>recaptures the original\u2019s atmosphere while bolstering it.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 <\/span>MM 3D: Extra Fishing Ponds<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fishing in <\/span>The Legend of Zelda <\/span><\/i>has never gotten the credit it deserves. This could be because the games often do a bad job at explaining how to actually fish, but these are in-depth mini-games in some of the most relaxing settings in the franchise. For fans of <\/span>Ocarina of Time<\/span><\/i>\u2019s fishing hole (and they do exist,) <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>features brand new fishing ponds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in the Southern Swamp and the Great Bay, the new fishing ponds come with their own unique fish, react to masks, are massive, and play off of Termina\u2019s three day schedule & weather patterns. <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>has the most robust fishing mini-game in the franchise. It\u2019s a pity it doesn\u2019t get more credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>OoT 3D: Master Quest\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Grezzo really went all out when it came to remaking <\/span>Ocarina of Time<\/span><\/i>. The game is a loving reimagining of the original for a modern audience, but it also features arguably the best bit of unlockable content in a <\/span>Zelda<\/span><\/i> game: <\/span>Master Quest<\/span><\/i>. Upon defeating Ganon, players will unlock <\/span>Master Quest 3D<\/span><\/i>. The whole world is mirrored, enemies do double damage, and every single dungeon has been redesigned (including the Ice Cavern, Bottom of the Well, and Gerudo Training Grounds.) <\/span>Master Quest <\/span><\/i>isn\u2019t necessarily better than <\/span>Ocarina of Time<\/span><\/i>, but it\u2019s an outstanding secret regardless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3 <\/span>MM 3D: Redesigned For Handheld<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ocarina of Time <\/span><\/i>is a game very much of its time, with a save system that starts players at set locations when they boot up the game. Outside of dungeons, young Link will only ever start in Kokiri Forest and adult Link will default to the Temple of Time. <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask <\/span><\/i>reshapes its save system entirely to better suit handheld players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Best Swords in The Legend of Zelda Series, Ranked<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of offering temporary saves, Owl Statues now permanently save the game\u2013 just like how Bird Statues work in <\/span>Skyward Sword<\/span><\/i>. Link can no longer save when rewinding time, but there are a copious amount of Owl Statues (arguably too many) that make saving at any given point a breeze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>OoT 3D: True To The Original<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Few remakes are as true to the original as <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D<\/span><\/i>. The game doesn\u2019t replace the original Nintendo 64 release\u2013 which has its own unique merits\u2013 but it is more or less an analogous experience. In terms of pure gameplay, it\u2019s outright better. <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D<\/span><\/i>\u2019s art direction also intelligently lifts from concept art, resulting in a Hyrule that\u2019s familiar even in its updated form. There are no major gameplay changes, no major dungeon changes, and no major story changes. <\/span>Ocarina of Time 3D <\/span><\/i>is a genuinely great remake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>MM 3D: A Reinterpretation\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Majora\u2019s Mask <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>differ in significant enough ways where it\u2019s worth playing both games at the end of the day. The original is an intense experience that\u2019s frankly unrelenting. It\u2019s dark, thematically and aesthetically, which makes Termina even more dreadful. <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>is more of a reinterpretation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Termina loses its warped Hylian iconography (inverted Triforces,) while losing its darker color palette in favor of lighting more in-line with the rest of the <\/span>Zelda <\/span><\/i>franchise. <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask 3D <\/span><\/i>is the game <\/span>Majora\u2019s Mask <\/span><\/i>would be if it played it safe. For some, though, that\u2019s exactly what they need to overcome how much stress the game puts on the player.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
