It bothers me that he says "Shake" and "Shakeah". It's "Sheek" and "Sheekah".

Link does resemble a young Leonardo DiCaprio.

Sorry for the thread bump, but I'm having difficulty deciding between playing TLoZ Ocarina of Time for the first time on the Wii (N64 version, purchased from the eShop) or on my 3DS via my retail cart. I have two pristine 3DS consoles and a perfect condition Sony CRT to play the game on.
GAF Nintendo crew: what do you recommend? Should I go for the Nintendo 64 original (and pander to my nostalgia) or should I go for the remaster on the 3DS (my favourite handheld of all time)?

3DS. QoL makes it.

I dont think you can go wrong with either. If you want the purist form go for N64 but if you dont care about that aspect go 3ds.
The 3DS remake is quite faithful and really only makes things better imo. Not having to go into the menu to switch things out all the time combined with text scrolling improvements are small but had massive appeal to me as someone who played the original.
Plus you'll get master quest once you beat it, which is inferior for the most part imo, but its still fun to play.

3DS Remake for the character models and more detailed world.

Definitely go for the 3DS version. The upgraded visuals are excellent while still keeping the same look - also playing the game at 30fps vs the 20ish of the N64 original is worth it alone. The little QoL improvements are also huge, like the color coding of the water temple.

I never understood why people got stuck at the Water Temple. It's menu intensive but not difficult. Shadow or Spirit Temples on the other hand...

I don't agree with the art style. The art style is more cartoony than anime to me. There's a very big different in the art and animation style. Prefer the older art than the new in-game models.

3DS. Anyone else is a hippie arguing vinyls are superior to compact-discs.

I always found shadow to be pretty easy. It's pretty linear but I dislike Spirit temple most.

...But vinyl is superior to compact discs. N64 version it is!Thanks everyone for the replies. My 3DS copy will remain sealed for now. I'm excited to dive in for the first time

Ocarina of Time was my first and favorite video game. There are OBVIOUSLY better games and experiences in this day and age, even better Zelda games, but nothing matches the nostalgia of stepping out into Hyrule for the first time. Forest, Fire and Spirit Temples were my favorites. Fucking loved Stalfos and Iron Knuckles. Bolero of Fire and Twinrova's themes are GOAT. So many great memories for a game just dripping with atmosphere. It's the game that made me pick up an entire hobby. Cheers.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Wow, that would be so good! In fact, it's too good to ever happen
