It’s a pretty fantastic thing that developer Grezzo has done with this classic, they’ve kept Ocarina of Time just as I remember it. In it’s heyday Ocarina blew my mind, this was the same series that I’ve developed a budding obsession with now in the third dimension. As Navi floats through Kokiri forest into Link’s (or in my case “Bartman’s”) tree I was going bat shit nuts with anticipation and excitement. This was a milestone in gaming in my mind, in my formative years this marked the beginning of my adulthood and the game’s themes resonated with me on a psychological level.
Replaying on emulators and Virtual Console didn’t do it justice. The epic I remembered seemed dusty, hidden beneath the muddy textures and painfully choppy frame rate. Now, although it’s a fraction of the size, this latest release is the game I remembered so long ago revived. I’m reliving the anticipation and excitement as I explore Hyrule all over again. I’ll be posting some sketches that I’ve drawn along the way thanks to the 3DS’ semi-inhibitive sketching program (almost akin to MSpaint). Hope you enjoy them! (Keep in mind the 3DS outputs these at a pathetically tiny resolution…)
me in the store…was asked to leave
i already know goddammit leave me alone
I read somewhere that they toned Navi down in this release. So far she’s nagged me non-stop about bullshit I already know since I’ve started. No wonder Link’s gone so long without getting his own fairy.
first matter of business: liften them pots
Throwing pots around while people just watch absently as you rob them blind, leaving the room and doing it again; classic Zelda.
whats your problem?
The 3D is a nice touch but I can see myself turning it down, if not off, to save for some battery time.
saved the deku tree; he
In the next post: breaking pots all around Hyrule, hero of time style
