I would’ve given the game a higher rating.

- There were a few things added that made the game feel better like being able to fast forward to any hour as opposed to the N64 version where you can only go between dawn and evening. It made doing certain quest much easier as you can just jump to an hour before whatever quest.
- Just like OoT 3D, being able to use the ocarina while looking at the song notes was a nice touch.
- Able to access Owl statues early unlike N64 where you were required to smack the statue with a sword to access.
- I’m mixed up a bit on learning song of soaring in a different spot compared to N64. This is just me being picky about it some might find it much better to access earlier than after visiting Deku Palace.
- Gyro on the 3DS made aiming much more smoother 🙏


My main annoyance was the changes to the boss fights.

- All bosses have some dusty giant eyeball that you have to smack around like a punching bag.
- Stone Tower Boss was the biggest POS I ever had to fight against 🙂‍↕️ while I did enjoy watching Link flex after beating up the worms it felt like a damn chore. I didn’t get all the fairies in the temple due to running out of time in the temple so I was able to teleport into the boss room since I had unlocked it before rewinding time. So I’m not sure if I could use the fairy sword as a giant? I’m used to N64 and being able to use the sword already as a giant. OH YEAH AND HAVING YO DEFEAT ONE WORM TO UNLOCK THE GIANT MASK WAS ANNOYING lmao.

Still a pleasant experience and I’m glad to have finally completed the base story on 3DS. I just won’t give it another go until another few months.
