StarFox 64, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and Resident Evil for the 3DS might sound like an impressive line-up, but do you know what it's missing? A splash of Zelda. Well, here comes a little-known title called Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, heading to your 3DS.
That's right: one of Link's greatest-ever adventures is heading to 3DS, looking sharper and better than ever, not to mention the addition of 3D elements too of course.
Interestingly this title is nowhere to be found in Nintendo's official press pack, but was found by a little URL jiggery-pokery. It speaks volumes of the strength of Nintendo's E3 showing, however, when it can keep quiet about a handheld remake of one of its greatest-ever games.
Check out the screenshots below and start imagining how much better your life will be when you're able to play Ocarina of Time on the move in 3D.

AMAZING!!!!
Here we go again
Nice, updated graphics too. Smooooth looking.
I hope they use the Master Quest version of the dungeons, since I never got around to playing that remix.
AWESOME!!
My heart can't take all of this in one day.
OMGOMGOMGOMG! OMG! I've been waiting so long for this! It's going to be spectacular!
Nice graphics, but I really could care less. I don't really see how 3d/smoothed out jaggies will make the game any better. I'd rather just be able to download VC games on the 3DS. It'll depend on what they add, but I imagine I'll be sticking to my GCN OoT/MQ disc.
They did say they were releasing more info daily. THey might have just saved this one for later.
AWESOME!!! Can't wait for the 3DS.
E3... what would i without thy?
I now know the next console I intend to buy... Time to start saving!
The 3ds is getting a great line up of games.
Just found out about this. One shocking surprise after another.
Whoa, those graphics are gorgeous...
Thats awesome but... I don't really see the point.
Earth-shatteringly incredible.
OMFG!!! Tooooooo muuuuuch awwwwwwwesome newwwwwwwws head explodes
looks beautiful.
I thought they didn't want to remake this game? Not that I'm complaining, but I AM surprised.
Too many announcements! I'm going to shut off my computer and walk away now before I die of anticipation. (I mean it too)
Holy frackermoly! One of the greatest games of all time (if not THE greatest) on 3DS? Woohoo!!!
Nice!
Call me when there's news on Majora's Mask 3DS.
This is fantastic news! XD
Too much, Nintendo is killing us with all these amazingly awesome announcements and showings. Nintendo brought E3 back to it's roots!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!!!!
WHEN IS 3DS COMING OUT XO
(I'm gonna be friggin broke after I buy all this 3DS stuff.)
I've lost count, the 3DS is now a must have 20 times over...and counting.
Ugh, just give us our Virtual Console/Portable on the 3DS. Even if it means just jaggy looking N64 graphics.
My life is now complete.
As if the other conferences weren't bad enough on their own., Nintendo makes them seem like they release Pong for toddlers (in 1080pi).
Today, Nintendo unleashed their ultimate power.
The 3DS already has twice the library of the Virtual Boy!
OoT + smooth framerate = win
Also the updated graphics are sexy. I hope they do Majora's Mask, too!
They should make it downloadable.
IM GONNA HAVE A FREAKIN HEART ATTACK TODAY!!!!
Link: Sorry to keep you waiting!
lol. XD
Can we have a source link to this please on the Nintendo site?
But yeah, this is amazing news. I'd like this.
HOLY S*** nintendo is on top once again!
You have got to be kidding me!!! The 3DS just keeps getting more and more awesome!!!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOD DANG IT WHY NINTENDO WHY MUST YOU BRING THESE KIND OF NEWS IN MY FACE flatline
James, you forgot to mention PilotWings Resort, Paper Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid, Street Fighter IV, two Tom Clancy games, and Ridge Racer. Just a little mistake that I'd thought I'd tell you.
....Damn it I need to take shower brb.
i'll need 2 jobs to afford all this new stuff, well i think nintendo won E3.
Does Epona have polka-dots?
Nuh UH! Seriously?!? OMG... my weak heart... so much love in just a few hours time...
Eh... no
@Dragoon That's sunlight hitting the game's camera view.
My and my little sister saw this news together, our jaws and eyeballs dropped to the floor!!! GREATEST E3 EVER!!!
This has no effect on me...
because I've already exploded into a puddle of man juice on the floor.
Seriously what's next?... "Nintendo On was real!"
see the reason i havent played it yet is because i knew this would happen
I wanted this masterpiece remade on the 3DS, and it looks like my wish was granted. I wonder what new features/dungeons we will see in this remake?
/dies of awesomeness from Nintendo
2010 and 2011 belong to Nintendo!
I cannot fathom the words to describe how amazed I am at the launch titles, and the fact they are releasing Ocarina of Time on it is just...beyond words.
I always wanted OoT and MM on DS but am I ever glad they are releasing OoT on 3DS, portable Ocarina with improved graphics! YES PLEASE!
Wow, didn't see THAT one coming.
Already played and beat OoT more than once. No reason for me to pick up a graphically souped-up version.
Keep them coming!!!!
Until we get an announcement from Nintendo, I won't believe this.
Wait a minute... could this mean, alongside Star Fox... VIRTUAL HANDHELD WITH UPDATED GRAPHICS WOO EFFING HOO! THIS IS THE BEST YEAR EVER!
@61 ^ I agree ^
If this wasn't one of the games listed on Nintendo's E3 website then it's probally not true.
This had BETTER NOT be a hoax. The April Fool's joke was enough for me.
guys, it's not April 1st. there are quite a few games listed in the press kit that weren't announced in the conference. Ocarina 3DS is being shown at the roundtable discussion Corbie is at right now.
Confirmed now, via Nintendo Roundtable.
Awesome! Though I'm not a big fan of remakes.
E3 just got another 30% more awesome
But this means I'll have to stop replaying it on my N64 and save the awesomeness for when this arrives
I guess I was wrong. Not that that's a bad thing.
I missed out on ooc, so this is really awesome. Plus, if it sells well and is well received, it might convince sony to finally remake final fantasy 7 It's almost a sure thing; they are such biters they'll almost definitely steal the idea of re-releasing their most legendary rpg.
Pure awesomeness! I gotta get the 3DS!
I'm gunna die.
Actually, I was seriously considering switching to 360/microsoft but lemme tell ya why I won't (at least for a long while)...
Sure awesome games & all that good stuff keep me in, but an enormous factor was right here, Nintendolife. There is nothing that remotely compares to NL for the Xbox community! We should feel sorry for them...lol NOT xD
Praise aside, I must say that I will never forsake Nintendo because of one franchise...& that franchise is none other than The Legend of Zelda! Zelda, to me, defines my side of Nintendo, my niche. It's my place in the video-gaming world! Play a Zelda today, you'll thank me.
Ocarina is a game that i always enjoy replaying every now and again, so Im definitely excited about this. Maybe an extra dungeon or two? Maybe you can actually get the triforce?
@67:
Still what? Why would a tech demo they had no intention of showing outside the studio get its own page on Nintendo's website? I think it was pretty safe to conclude they were doing something with it if they've got advertising elements online and set to be linked to.
Just to let everyone know this is official since it is on Nintendo's E3 site
The best game ever just got a little bit better today. I think im gonna cry!T_T
@B-ry Hey final fantasy 7 is square not sony so they could remake it for the 3ds how exciting would that be! It wouldmake me very happy:)
Yes! YES! YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! The greatest game ever on the go! OMGOMGOMG YES!!!!!
Wow. That looks amazing. I've been waiting for this type of Zelda remake since Super Mario 64 DS was released.
@Tech101 ; didn't know that! Even more excited now!
...I'm going to have to get another job to afford this along with the other 3ds must buys.
@Tech101
Screwattack said on hard news that square says a FF7 remake could take approximately 40 years to make so... get ready to wait.
this will be the first game that ill buy!!
this will be the first game that ill buy!!
@markystal No say it isnt so. Oh well still would be cool to see it running in 3D
please please please please please nintendo, do a majoras mask remake too!
Hopefully, Zora's Domain will defrost after I beat the Water Temple.
Yes lets spend another $35 to get a game we all have already beat and have either on Wii, 64 or even Gamecube. Wow.
faints
Guys this will be rendered in 3D, that alone makes this worthwhile. Also, the controls will be updated and the water temple will be the way they always wished they made it. Go read this at Nintendo.com.
