The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a Nintendo 3DS remake of the Nintendo 64 game, Ocarina of Time. It was officially announced in E3 2010, where only a couple of screenshots of the introduction were released. It is slated for a Spring 2011 release.

There will be other tweaks made to the popular Nintendo 64 title besides improved graphics, including a new system for equipping items (specifically mentioned were the Iron Boots, and the constant swapping necessary in the Water Temple). Aonuma stated that Ocarina of Time 3D will be "different" and "unique in its own way" using the capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS. He also mentioned that he is looking forward to "new ways to implement 3D into the gameplay and make it fresh and new," saying that it will not be a port but a "retelling of the tale using new technologies to reinvent it."

In September 2010, more screenshots were released, this time showing the new menu system. All of the original HUD has been moved down to the touch screen, leaving the upper screen mostly clear of graphic overlays. From this bottom screen the player has quick access to their inventory, equipment, and map. Apparently, the player can now assign an item to the X button and another to the Y button, and then three additional items to touch buttons.
