Ocarina of Time is a great adventure that can still be enjoyed by those of us who missed it's original release, all thanks to this remake. The visual improvements and gameplay enhancements do a great deal to make the game feel less dated and clunky than the N64 version.

My number one con against it is that the movement is not fun for a game about getting lost and finding your way through an open world. The game provides you with some set warps and a horse you can use in a very limited amount of spaces, yet going from point A to B is always tedious.
It also suffers from some obtuse issues that can leave you wondering around trying to find what to do (e.g. entering an area from a warp not triggering a cutscene, not standing in the right spot even though you did the same action two steps away).

Overall I had a lot of fun beating this gaming classic, and I can see why it has become as beloved as it is today.
