New Features
And here is a description of the game from Amazon. ( I think they give the best one. ;3)
A N64 Classic Returns in 3D
Spoiler:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D takes the best-reviewed game of all-time for a brand-new experience. Now in 3D, all of the graphic textures and colors have been vastly improved, taking advantage of the considerable graphic power of the Nintendo 3DS system. This game tells the epic story of Hyrule and Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf in remarkable depth and gives context to the many tales of their struggles. As such, this title represents a perfect entry point for players new to the Zelda franchise.
Phenomenally Improved Graphics
Spoiler:
Beyond even the incredible 3D effect, every graphic texture and character model has been lovingly built from the ground up to create the most dynamic and vivid vision of Zelda's kingdom yet. This is Hyrule as you've always imagined it.
Enhanced Gameplay
Spoiler:
While the greatest care has been taken to preserve the classic gameplay and story, a number of new features make this the definitive version of this extraordinary game:
Touch-screen Accessibility - With a revamped interface designed to take advantage of the Nintendo 3DS system's dual screens, navigating menus and switching items is amazingly fast and intuitive.
Motion Control - New feature for first-person mode is that, in addition to using the Circle Pad to look around, you can also physically move your Nintendo 3DS system around. This makes aiming much faster and more responsive, since adjustments are made as fast as you can move. With Link, aiming your slingshot or bow is much faster and more accurate.
Hint Movies - New to the game and great for new players will welcome the hint-movie system, which will give them a glimpse of the future and how they need to proceed in order to see all of the game's action and story.
Boss Challenge - After beating each boss, you can relive that fight and try to improve your time. Once you defeat all eight bosses, you can choose to run a gauntlet of them all and try to survive.
Master Quest - Once you've completed the game, you gain access to the Master Quest, a challenge for even the most dedicated player. The world has been mirror-flipped, and the dungeon puzzles are all different.
Playing the Ocarina
Spoiler:
Link needs to play the eponymous Ocarina of Time many, many times over the course of the game. This involves a specific series of button presses to play one of the twelve songs in the game. In the original title, you would need to assign the ocarina to an item slot, then likely review the button prompts to your song, then play them from memory. The Nintendo 3DS version has the ocarina constantly available on the Touch Screen, and playing with the button prompts for each song right in front of you.
Maybe because that new Zelda game for the Wii is coming out not many people are talking about this one..But this one started it all!
D
Not right away, but I do plan on getting a 3DS eventually for this game and Abyss, for sure.
I love the idea of Master Quest. Ever since I borrowed my friend's copy of the Ocarina of Time/Master Quest edition for Gamecube I've been wanting to play Master Quest the whole way through.
Would anyone call me a blasphemer if I said I thought Ocarina of Time was the worst 3D Zelda for me? I mean, I enjoyed the game but not that much. Nevertheless, I'm sure many people are happy with their 3DS purchase with this coming out, but I'm still not sure if I want to join the 3DS boat, since I can't even see 3D properly...
Zelda:OoT is surely one of the best games of all times, but dun really feel like buying an entire new console for it. A hand held no less, which means I wont play on it more than a dozen times.
I have never played Ocarina of time, but everybody I know says its amazing, so I'm going to buy it, seeing as the only zelda game I have played was links awakening, and I loved it.

Hmm, I actually only played very little of Link's Awakening, but it felt kinda off from the rest of the series, having references to other franchises and stuff in it, so I didn't feel like playing through it. But OoT is amazing, as well as most other Zelda games.

Link's awakening was a cameo game really and there's a very good chance that it started the Peach porn outbreak.
Peach Picture, Kirby monster, Shopkeeper's death beam (I forget where this is from), Etc etc...
