The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is the 2011 Nintendo 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time, the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic. It was made by Grezzo with Nintendo, and it was the first version of the game to rebuild the graphics rather than emulate the original. It came out in June 2011.

The adventure is the one you remember, from Kokiri Forest to Ganon's Castle, but the 3DS version makes it much easier to play. The Iron Boots and Hover Boots go on a button, your items and map live on the touch screen, you can aim by moving the system, and Sheikah Stones show hint videos if you get stuck. It also adds a Boss Challenge mode and includes the harder, mirrored Master Quest once you finish the game. Our What's New page lists every change.

Our guides cover the 3DS version: the Boss Challenge and Boss Gauntlet, Master Quest, and all 36 Heart Pieces. The locations of everything else, like the Gold Skulltulas and Great Fairies, are the same as on the Nintendo 64, so our original guides work for the 3DS too.
