Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Launches on 19th June

Posted Tue, 12 Apr 2011 by James Newton

Rejoice!

Iwata said it would happen, and he was right: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will reach stores across North America before June is out.

Nintendo has announced the game will see release on 19th June, less than two weeks after E3. The company also reconfirmed the inclusion of Zelda: Master Quest, a harder version of the original Ocarina, on the cartridge.

There's currently no officially confirmed European release date but we'll bring you news as we hear it.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D brings a completely re-mastered version of an epic entry in the beloved The Legend of Zelda game series to Nintendo’s newest hand-held system, Nintendo 3DS. The game couples phenomenally enhanced graphics with stunning, glasses-free 3D visuals to bring to life the daring adventures of its hero, Link™. A streamlined touch-screen interface and newly implemented motion controls provide a fresh and intuitive feel as players immerse themselves in the tale of the creation of Hyrule and the struggle for control of its all-powerful ancient relic. The game will also feature new challenges not included in the original game. The Legend of Zelda veterans can look forward to the Master Quest – a second quest with revamped puzzles and redesigned dungeons that feature the same graphical and interface upgrades as the main game. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a masterful improvement on one of the landmark releases in video game history.

Release date confirmed. Sunday, June 19, 2011. That's slightly over a month after I finish my second year of college, but I can deal with the wait. Who knows if this game will appear at the E3 2011 briefly before release?

And Europeans get theirs on Friday, June 17, 2011.

Ocarina of Time 3D Gets Boss Rush Mode and Helpful Videos

Posted Tue, 19 Apr 2011 by James Newton

Take on the baddest of the bad

We already know that Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will feature the revamped Master Quest too, but gamers who want more action can check out the new Boss Challenge mode, likely to the the new content Satoru Iwata mentioned recently.

The new feature is unlocked at a certain point during Link's adventures in Hyrule and allows players to take on any previously defeated guardian, or chain them one after the other for maximum boss-based carnage.

Nintendo is also keen to help newcomers to the land of Hyrule make their way through the game, as it's including several in-game videos at tricky points to help gamers figure out difficult puzzles or see where to go next. Consider it a Super Guide of sorts, though it's unlikely using these hint videos will incur any penalty for players.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D comes to Europe on 17th June and North America on 19th June.

    A LEGEND RETURNS IN MAGICAL 3D THIS JUNE

    Experience The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time 3D in the palm of your hand, exclusively on Nintendo 3DS

    19th April, 2011 – One of the most critically-acclaimed games of all time The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time has returned, this time in full 3D - without the need for glasses - and exclusively to Nintendo 3DS. Brace yourselves this summer as The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time 3D - a masterful enhancement on one of the landmark releases in video game history – comes to Europe on 17th June, 2011.

    With phenomenally re-mastered graphics and new stunning 3D visuals, fans of the original game and newcomers alike will be able to marvel at this gaming classic to join the daring adventures of one of video-gaming’s greatest heroes – Link!

    Guide Link – a young boy who is tasked with saving the land of Hyrule from Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves. The evil Ganondorf is intent on gaining mastery both over the land of Hyrule and time itself and he is led by his ambition to overthrow the current Royal Family of Htrule. It is up to Link to stop him in his tracks as you guide him on a magical journey through time. Explore vast landscapes, mythical temples, dungeons, towns and villages, as well as interact with many different characters and battle various enemies – all in stunning 3D.

    The game’s original control scheme has been completely re-designed to fully make the best use of the capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS system. Players will be able to control Link by utilising the Circle Pad whilst the Touch Screen of the Nintendo 3DS is used to assign items, check maps and ensure that Link is wearing the appropriate equipment - all in a fresh and intuitive way. Players can also take advantage of the in-built gyro sensor of the Nintendo 3DS; the implemented motion controls allow you to look around your environment when in first person perspective simply by physically moving the Nintendo 3DS system.

    Not only does the fully-3D gameplay experience provide easier in-game navigation, but an improved and intuitive interface gives you better control as you solve puzzles, travel through time and explore the immersive land of Hyrule. Players not so familiar to the Legend of Zelda series can also get a helping hand through bite sized videos available in-game which will provide hints on how to solve puzzles encountered during your journey.

    Fans of the original game will be pleased to know that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D also heralds the inclusion of two brand new additional challenges not available in the original game; Master Quest and Boss Challenge.

    Master Quest mode will see some surprising changes to the game. Puzzles will have to be thought about and solved in new ways from the main Story mode, whilst items and enemies will be found in different locations. The land of Hyrule has also been reversed as locations are mirrored - so what would ordinarily have been on the right now appears on the left and vice versa. Enemies will also prove more difficult to beat, and as such the greater complexity involved in this new Master Quest will test the gameplay abilities of even the most seasoned fans and prove a new experience for all.

    The new Boss Challenge mode acts as an extra treat for those players who reach a certain point within the game. It will provide players with the opportunity to face any of the previous Bosses they have defeated once again, or, the option to face and confront them one-by-one, all in a continuous battle.

    The game’s graphical re-working coupled with the three-dimensional depth provided by your Nintendo 3DS breathes new life into this timeless classic. Whether you're a first-time player or a regular visitor to Hyrule, the engaging, immersive gameplay features of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D offers a magical new adventure for all.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D launches across Europe, exclusively for Nintendo 3DS, on 17th June, 2011.

You're able to re-fight bosses? Sweet, that brings some more replay value, who doesn't want to fight the bosses again when you're bored? :p But it has to be unlocked after a certain point in the game, but who knows how far you need to go before getting the Boss Rush Mode.

We finally get to play OoT with motion controls but they're nothing special.

Finally a more convenient menu. <3 No more hassle in the water temple with the iron boots... :p

Man, I agree with you, Ammy, the trailer is beyond amazing, it's spectacular!

And I never understood how there was the hate with the Iron Boots in the Water dungeon...

Me either but I used that as a joke from frustration of many people that complain about it. I never even got to the Water Dungeon in OoT so I dunno why either. lol I guess they were hard to take out then open the menu again to put them on then open the menu to take them off then open the menu to put them on again and so on.

But it's sad to say that it might not happen.

Anyway, I just pre-ordered this game at GameStop, along with purchasing Volume 2 of the guide for Pokemon Black/White.
 
Actually beating OoT BACK N DA DAY... I don't necessarily see the hate for Water Temple (again, didn't have internet back then to persuade me to say that let alone get in the internet hype of BEST GAEM EVA!) but I can see the complaint just because you had to go to the menu each time to select then de-select the iron boots. That's it. Iron boots to dodge them spikes for some steps, go to menu, take them off, swim a bit, go to menu, put them on, etc. That's the ONLY way I can see people bitching about it.

It was confusing for a bit, and for me the hardest part was actually
the shadow battle which I totally cheesed with the hammer cause I found he couldn't fight back when I used it
(spoiler just cause it will be new for some people) but I remember the last temple (Shadow Temple?) giving me the most shit in the game just cause it was dark and the inviability of everything important :p
