If you want to play it in the original hardware released you can get the adapter below and still use a wavebird.. ;) http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/gc_to_n64_adapter/index.php |

OoT 3D is the version to play. You've waited this long; wait until you think a 3DS is a good value and buy one. I waited until a temporary sale down to $160 and got a Pikachu 3DS XL. I also knew I'd want to play Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Ace Attorney 5, and Fire Emblem. Super Mario 3D Land and OoT 3D would've factored into it but I already played those on my brother's 3DS. The 3DS release is fantastic. It runs at a constant framerate, has a higher number of polygons on the models, higher resolution textures, a simplified and easier inventory system, and an easier-to-complete Water Temple. If you're not aware, everyone hates the Water Temple. Rather than change any puzzles within the temple, the 3DS release simply adds an icon above each door in the temple that tells what height the water will be at if you activate the switch inside. It makes it less frustrating without altering the challenge of the puzzles in any way. --- Quote from: Dravenae on June 13, 2013, 08:02:46 AM ---Do you want to play the through the original game, the way it was intended --- End quote --- No developer "intends" to run their game at 20fps. Lower during boss fights. http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/ http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/3/1 --- Quote ---For the Nintendo 64 system, the frame rate was about 20, while it's 30 for the Nintendo 3DS system. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---It was not easy to change the frame rate of the software created in the past. Especially considering that the original game included different frame rates between the heavier and lighter processing parts. --- End quote --- Take off your nostalgia goggles and admit the 3DS game is the best one. |

Good to know about the 3DS version. I'll likely play an original version and get a 3DS and the remake later when they are cheaper. That way I can save some cash now and appreciate the remake improvements more when I do get to it. I've heard about the water temple and may just use an FAQ for just that part as free time is limited so I don't have time so spend hours running in circles. |

I have a topic somewhere here from when I was playing through the game for the first time. I suggest tracking down a gold cart, it is the earliest revision, so it has all the original temple music and there are some fun glitches you can do. |

There is something to be said about experiencing an original work, but with games that old...it is best to use remakes. Go with the 3DS version, it has the Master Quest version included and works well. Hell, when I want to play Dragon Quest 1, I play the Super Famicom remakes rather than the NES release. |
