The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D Brings a New Dimension to a Timeless Classic on Nintendo 3DS
REDMOND, Wash.--(June 16, in the year of our Lord 2011)--
The 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda™ video game series
goes into high gear with the June 19 launch of The Legend of
Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D game. Available exclusively for the
portable Nintendo 3DS™ system, the new game introduces a fully
re-mastered version of one of the most acclaimed installments in
Nintendo’s fan-favorite The Legend of Zelda game series.
Combining adventurous game play and classic story elements with
enhanced graphics and previously unavailable challenges, this
new edition also highlights the deep, engaging experiences made
possible by Nintendo 3DS with intuitive hand-held motion
controls and the ability to play in 3D without the need for
special glasses.
Experienced fans and newcomers alike will have plenty to
discover in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D as they
guide the heroic Link™ on an adventure through Hyrule, where
they will encounter vividly enhanced characters and
environments. The new touch-screen interface makes it simple to
navigate menus and switch between items, while new motion
controls allow players to swiftly and accurately aim their
weapons when targeting in first-person view. After completing
the main game, players will also have access to the additional
Master Quest that provides even more challenges with redesigned
dungeons, more challenging enemies and environments that are
experienced in reverse.
“The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is the definitive
version of a game that is an indelible part of entertainment
history,” said Cindy Gordon, Nintendo of America’s vice
president of Corporate Affairs. “This is a game for every fan of
the series, from those who grew up on Link’s adventures to the
new generation of players who are just starting to create their
own magical memories in the mythical land of Hyrule.”
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D introduces new content
that is exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version of the game. After
players have defeated a boss, they can replay the battle again
in Boss Challenge mode and try to improve their completion time.
When they have defeated all eight of the game’s bosses, they can
face them all in succession under an action-packed timed run. At
select access points in the game, players can also watch special
hint movies that provide clues to help solve tricky puzzles and
defeat challenging enemies.
Remember that Nintendo 3DS features parental controls that let
adults manage the content their children can access. For more
