Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

When I first purchased my 3DS this was one of the games that I bought along with it.  I had never played a Zelda title before so I figured since they remade it and it was easier to get a hold of I'd give it a try.  I didn't really know what I was getting into since I had only known about the series from playing Super Smash Bros. and watching my cousin play Majora's Mask wayyyyy back on the Nintendo 64.  So I decided to just jump right in and hope for the best.

I fell in love with this game as soon as I started it up for the first time.  I understand this was the remake but I loved how well it was represented in true 3D form.  They really used this feature of the 3DS to its full potential.  The game also looks great with the 3D switched off as well.  

I didn't really have any complaints about the game mechanics except for a few things.  First of all I hated not being able to jump!  This is how you know I play wayyyy to many platformers.  I also wasn't a fan of being able to control the "L-targeting" by simply aiming the 3DS in the direction you wanted it.  This just didn't feel natural to me and I died quite often because of this (there's probably an option to turn it off somewhere but I never bothered to look for it).  

I liked that this game was very challenging although it was definitely a game that I had to sit down and focus on.  I often got very angry and frustrated with the dungeons and temples and ended up rage quitting quite a few times.  The mini games were also a tad bit frustrating but they were still enjoyable.  Some of the boss fights were very confusing and I often had to google how to beat them.  

Its games like these that make me question why some people still believe that video games are only for children.  I know when I was younger if I ever tried to play this game I would probably have given up and never looked back since my attention span was so thin.

Overall I found this game to be awesome and very enjoyable!  It definitely convinced me to play more Zelda titles.  I already have purchased Skyward Sword and am eagerly awaiting the rerelease of Majora's Mask.  I'm glad that I had the opportunity to play through this game.
