==Changes and Additions==

===Controls and Gameplay===

Most of the original HUD has been moved down to the touch screen, leaving the upper screen mostly clear of graphic overlays. The only part of the HUD still on the top screen is the A Button prompt, which has been redesigned to look transparent. From this bottom screen the player has quick access to their inventory, equipment, and map. The Ocarina is permanently assigned to the bottom-left. The bottom screen can also be tapped to switch between inventory, equipment, and map, making it much easier and quicker to switch between tunics, swords, and boots.<ref name=zu/> The bottom screen has a camera icon that can be tapped to switch to view mode, which can be controlled by using the Circle Pad. The camera can also be controlled by physically moving the 3DS around; for example, if the Nintendo 3DS is held up, Link will look up. The view mode is also used to aim projectile weapons, such as the [[Fairy Slingshot]] and [[Fairy Bow]]. If the L Button is held, it is possible to slightly look around and increase the viewing window by moving the 3DS; this may have been done to accommodate the smaller 3DS screen. Note that this cannot be done when an enemy is being targeted. Any time [[Navi]] wants to give advice, the view icon will be replaced with a Navi icon that can be touched to hear what she has to say, and her name will flash along the bottom of the top screen.<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= The Navi icon will appear in certain situations.

===Boss Challenge===

The main quest of {{OoT3D|-}} also implements a variation of the "{{smw|Super Guide}}" feature to show players where to go next if they are stuck at a certain point in the game. This feature, which is simply called Visions, are short clips that demonstrate how to advance in the game instead of completing the puzzle directly for the player like in ''{{smw|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}''.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=These visions are actually pre-recorded snippets of gameplay, each consisting of 3-5 short clips that loosely demonstrate what to do next.|url=http://www.gamexplain.com/article-424-1305158680-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-3d-hands-on-boss-rush-water-temple-super-guide.html|title=The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Hands-On (Boss Rush, Water Temple Super-Guide); retrieved May 12 2011|site=GameXplain}}</ref> These can be accessed via [[Sheikah Stone]]s, which are larger, more animated versions of the [[Gossip Stone]]s from the original game.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=Scattered throughout the environment are Sheikah Stones--a larger and more animated variant of the Gossip Stones of the original.

===Other Changes===

====Items====

*All item descriptions can be quickly skipped.

*It is now possible to read the songs while playing the Ocarina. The Ocarina can either be played with the physical buttons or with the Touch Screen. In terms of the Ocarina's button positions, the L Button replaces the A Button from the original version.

*Equipping Fire, Ice, and Light arrows is now done through a small sub-menu on the touch screen.

*When aiming with the [[Hookshot]], the red aiming pointer is now replaced by a red laser. It also shows an extra red ring when the Hookshot is pointing at a viable target Link can reach by grappling onto it.

*The damage dealt while performing a [[Jump Slash]] with a [[Deku Stick]] is reduced.
