Ocarina of Time Featured in Nintendo eShop July Highlights Trailer

Last month, Nintendo decided to release the N64 Virtual Console version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Wii U eShop. Since then, the response has been phenomenal, despite the fact that its 3D remake is widely available on the Nintendo 3DS.

Today, Nintendo UK uploaded a video to their Twitter account, showing the eShop highlights of last month. Obviously Ocarina of Time was featured, which comes as no surprise after its 4-week stint at the top of the charts. Perhaps this boils down to nostalgia, and fans wanting to truly relive their childhood, or simply because, at $9.99, it’s a cheaper alternative to the 3DS version.

Do you prefer the original game over the remake? Or is it a case of “new is better”? As always, leave us a comment below.
