Ocarina of Time is trending again this week — worth playing in 2026 or pure nostalgia?
marcusbuilds asked
I keep seeing Ocarina of Time clips everywhere this week and now I'm curious. Never played it — my first Zelda was Breath of the Wild. For someone coming in cold in 2026, is it actually worth playing, or is the nostalgia doing the heavy lifting? I've heard the 3DS remake fixed the frame rate. Worth picking up, or skip it?

- 3DS remake
Played it for the first time on 3DS last year (borrowed my nephew's) — the dungeons and music absolutely hold up, the overworld feels a bit empty by modern standards. The 3DS version fixes the frame rate and the water temple is way less painful with the touchscreen. Try the first three dungeons; if they don't hook you, you have your answer. Don't overpay for an N64 cart — the remake is the way in.
