For some of us, Ocarina of Time was our first Zelda game and is probably one of our favourites. Since its debut on the N64 back in 1998 there have been numerous ports along with an enhanced remake which have introduced the game to a whole new generation of players. One fan project has been gradually turning the entire game into a 2D adventure, giving it a similar look to A Link to the Past. A new update is on the…

YouTube member Mr Dinarius has recently posted a video showing off some of the gameplay of the fan project Ocarina of Time 2D. In the video we see the first few minutes of gameplay recreating the kokiri village and introduction in the style of A Link to the Past. Jump inside to check it out for yourself.

Ocarina of Time 2D, a 2D remake of the N64 classic, is a fan-created game that now has a playable demo on its main website. Trailers for the remake are up on YouTube, and show off some interesting things. The way that Ocarina of Time‘s gameplay is recreated is interesting, considering the game looks quite a lot like A Link to the Past, but Ocarina of Time‘s game elements still seem very responsive in it.

Prominent gaming news magazine, Game Informer, has released the results of an online poll on their website, which asked readers whether they preferred 2D or 3D Zelda games. Find out whether the magazine’s online readership prefers Hyrule in two  or three dimension after the jump.

With a new console release imminent, this may seem like a strange quesstion to ask. After all, top-down Zelda games are associated with sprites, not revolutionary 3D graphics. Nintendo franchises (Donkey Kong Country, Mario, Metroid) have gotten a shot at a 2D revival at some point in the past ten years. Others, like Kirby, never needed one. With the exception of Donkey Kong Country, these 2D games coexisted with 3D iterations in the series without issues. Having been introduced to…

Hey guys! Got a new video discussion and this is a topic I think some of you have been waiting for me to cover. I’ve received the question many times now: “Which would you rather Nintendo remake, A Link to the Past or Majora’s Mask?” I’d been avoiding answering because I’ve been planning this video. This video covers exactly that subject. It’s a detailed list of reasons why. I will not be covering my thoughts on Majora’s Mask 3D much…

Hey there guys. New mailbag, relatively on-time this week, and it should be like that in the coming weeks as well! This mailbag has 10 questions, several about Skyward Sword and Majora’s Mask, but also covering the series in general, and even a few talking about future games. Actually, I managed to make a few slip-ups in this mailbag, so be sure to read the annotations if you want to see me correct myself. Haha. Anyway, you can watch the…

Hey, new Curiosity Shop video! Told you I’d still be doing these. And you didn’t believe me. You meanies. This time around I answered many more questions than usual. Eight questions! Although two of them are asked by the same person… Heh, is that cheating? Hell, there’s another count of cheating in this one, all the Metroid Prime 2 music in the background instead of Zelda music. Here’s the timestamps for all of the questions: (00:17) When is Zelda Wii…
