I really don't think that Ocarina's 'biggest' fans underrate it. Anyways, here let me pick apart this article I disagree with:
>Ocarina doesn’t need perfect controls or intense boss fights to be fantastic.
I'd say most gamers would call bullshit on this.
>the way Link smiles when he learns a new song
No he actually looks quite disgusted.
>Minor characters like Grog are completely fascinating, and the game’s world feels fleshed out and real.
I would totally argue against this. Ocarina had a couple of neat npc's which attention to detail but attention to detail throughout the whole game was pretty inconsistent and Grog wasn't nearly that facsinating as he doesn't do much. Every other game after Ocarina, ESPECIALLY Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker, and Skyward Sword had significantly more interesting npc's and a real fleshed out world. Ocarina's world does not feel 'real' to me.
>Spectacular games are allowed to be flawed.
"The game can have lots of flaws and be poorly designed in many ares (As mentioned before in the article itself!) but when I have rose-colored nostalgia glasses on, the game is simply spectacular)
>Yes, Ocarina‘s Z-targeting sometimes sucked, and yes, its puzzles weren’t as good as they could have been. That doesn’t mean the game wasn’t fantastic
Okay so this is just terrible writing. You never argue against your own point. And the only puzzles in Ocarina that weren't totally mind-numbing to anyone above the age of 8 had solutions that no one would think of, and are frustrating to play through.
>Some games have no room for missteps, but Ocarina of Time isn’t one of them.
I'm noticing a theme here, which is "Ocarina of Time has a bunch of big flaws but the game is better than all the others anyways". I don't think the writer is holding other games to the same standard as Ocarina of Time, because the games that have no room for missteps should be the spectacular fantastic timeless masterpieces. By saying otherwise, the writer is essentially saying that if a game is popular it doesn't have to be as good as or worked on as hard as games that are less popular.
>When I think about my time with Ocarina, I don’t think about the frustrations of the Water Temple. I think about dancing Gorons and riding Epona for the very first time.
"When I think about Ocarina, I deny that poorly designed parts of it even exist (unless I'm writing an article about the poorly designed points and why that means it's a great game) and replace it with nostalgia."
>If you truly appreciate Ocarina, you have to accept that the game can afford a few flaws.
This is another big no-no in writing. It's like when a manipulative girlfriend says something like, "If you really love me then you'll buy me really expensive things". No, I can appreciate Ocarina, accepting the game's flaws, and still acknowledging that it wasn't as perfect as most people generally make it out to be.
All in all, this article is complete shit. It's victim to bad writing, extreme opinionization even with the nature of the topic, and false logic. I will point out here that I love Ocarina of Time. It has a special place in my heart and I think the game is fantastic and innovative and when I think about parts of it or play through it again memories and nostalgia flood through me, but I think that letting a high personal opinion of the game stop you from being able to judge the game for what it is, or even view the game objectively.
You mean, $30?

Same price on Amazon, too: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003O6E800/
I thought it was slow selling because it virtually had no games in its library. There was no games to sell the console like Odyssey and BotW did for the Switch or Halo for Xbox. While you guys aren't wrong, the reasons stated aren't necessarily the right reasons. 3DS had a pretty good console design, sure it was weak but I don't think many people complained once the ball got rolling for this line of products and 3DS was a relatively easy piece of hardware (meaning it didn't have too much problems AFAIK unless you frequently dropped it). Games like Fantasy Life, Monster Hunter games, Monster Hunter stories, etc all played beautifully. Mario Kart, Smash, Mario Maker. That was their problem.
​
Once major IP games started to come out, 3DS started to sell well. I heard Reggie had a lot to do with how they pushed back on that oversight with 3DS by giving a lot of release-date owners free games and lowering the price of the handheld.
​
>According to Iwata, though, this isn't too surprising: "The current situation resulted from the fact that the delay of developing Nintendo 3DS software and launching online services, like Nintendo eShop, 3D video services and so forth, occurred simultaneously, so we could not meet people's high expectations that they had before its launch, and we did not see momentum after the launch."
>
>However, in spite of the slower sales, Iwata doesn't seem too worried. He thinks sales will pick up once more heavily-anticipated games - like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - are released, as well as when the Nintendo eShop and 3D video services come online.
From the article you linked there is another reference to which they talk about the reasons for it not doing too well. The fact that it had good initial sales could just mean loyal Nintendo fans or it could also mean that there is genuine interest in the handheld and they just needed to capitalize better. After those IP's came out, 3DS began to do better. 3DS sold like nearly 6 times as much as Wii U did.
I know, my Grandma and I played this when I was younger (yeah my G-ma is cool like that) on N64 and it was bar none the best game I had ever played up until that point. I wish they would release it for the Wii, but it will be out on June 19th, I can't wait.
It's 29.96 from amazon (you have to check other sellers), they're out of stock but you can still buy it at that price. Estimated shipping 2-4 weeks. Here's a quick link to it
there are plenty of them being sold on Amazon right now brand new for $40. Gamestop is full of shit
http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398120966&sr=8-2&keywords=zelda
The Link model definitely looks higher quality than the 3DS version.
Could be just the lighting, I dunno.
The 'entertainment.ie' article is a single opinion -- why listen to them in particular? Everywhere else, people tend to call it 'Action Adventure' (or just adventure more generally). On Zelda Gamepaedia, on Amazon, on Metacritic, and even on IMDB. Even Nintendo calls it an 'Action' game (though they are fluid with their categorization).
Secondly, the 'RPG characteristics' is a broad list of which 99% of games have elements that would fit. Under the first category, Story, it is described as having a plot involving saving the world and has twists and turns. Boy, I wonder what game has that? But really, any genre has a broad list of characteristics of which 99% of games would fit because most genres have a broad amount of things players can do that have been refined and added over years of development. In general, there tends to be a colloquial understanding of these genre terms. For 'RPGs', I wouldn't say OOT have many elements that would make it fit.
Don't get me wrong -- I don't see the problem in calling it an 'RPG'. It ultimately doesn't really matter in the end so long as you enjoy the game. I'm just curious as to why.
Get him to the sword!
After seconds of searching, I finally found one too:
http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Time-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1454114112&sr=1-1&keywords=ocarina+of+time+3ds
N64 version - $20
3DS version - $23
Gamecube version, with original and Master Quest - $25
Collector's disc - OoT, Majora's Mask, Zelda 1 and 2 - $40
Or there's the Wii Virtual Console version for $10.
Alternatively, you can play it on your PC with the retexture mod. I've been wanting to try that for a while but never got around to it.
39.99 on Amazon.com's site.

Reward: The Calendar! it was my first choice haha
(that's how this works right? lol)
edit:changed reward after clarification.
This should give you some perspective. The cheapest one listed on Amazon is about the original MSRP for just the cartridge.
 
Not all copies that GS sells have the original packaging, but some do. My store had 3 copies all with the original packaging and one with just the cartridge.
 
Simply put, it's a fair price on the open market considering that sealed copies of that game are far less common and only becoming more rare by the day.
Perhaps a video game? It's on my GF's list! I'm in love!
Amazon is your friend
$40 delivered seems reasonable enough to me.
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is around $25
Ocarina of Time you can get for around $30
Both games are definitely well worth it because they are EXCELLENT.
Or you could just not buy it from Gamestop.
Complain - contact the seller and Amazon. I just went into the "Product details" on the page you linked: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003O6E800/ref=mw_dp_mpd?l=Product%20Details&pd=1
You'll see that under languages it just says "English" so it is fair to assume that it is the American version, not any other.
Is it still in its original packaging?
There sure is! They remade ocarina of time for 3ds. Here it is on Amazon.
Amazon currently has it at 40 new http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003O6E800/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420907889&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40
Ocarina of time 3DS: $40
Or usb n64 contoller and the experience of the classic contoller: $15
Here's the links to verify the prices

I really want this game. But I kinda need this because my 3DS hurts my hands. ^^firstworldproblem
Thank you!
Yeah its hard to find. Amazon US has it for $70 but its backordered.
http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Time-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422662338&sr=8-1&keywords=ocarina+of+time+3ds
I know it's been asked a million times, and I have done some searches on it. But i'd like to ask myself. If I could buy 2 games right now, which ones should I get? A XL is on it's way as we speak and I plan on getting mostly long and/or replayable games for it as PC is my 'Buy lots of cheap games and play a little of all of then' and consoles for me are more 'Buy a few really good games and play them a lot'.
Ones i'm looking at, as they're on sale at Amazon:
Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I've never played a Zelda game, but a friend has said good things about this.
Super Mario 3D Land: I haven't played a Mario game since the late 90s on a NES, plus i've heard good things about this game.
Mario Kart 7 Another of the games i've hearing 'Must have' from.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate I've heard good things about this game, but not so much the way it controls on the 3DS, so I want it but I don't want to invest in the CPP right off, so I might have to wait on it.
And finally, Super Street Fighter IV It's at a better sale than the others, but i've heard mixed things about the game itself. Some say it's alright for a casual experience (which is what I am with fighting games anyway) others say it's 'meh'.
Of course, any suggestions are welcome. I know I passed over the RPG games that people love, but I didn't see any on sale.
I think you're highly underestimating games.Many of our classics have been rereleased (gaming) generation after generation. Obviously they are no examples as old as LotR, but Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man are all considered "mandatory" playthroughs even today, nearly 30 years after their release, and show no signs of stopping, and are all still currently available for sale (via Nintendo's eShop.) Plenty of games have fallen by the wayside, of course, but so have many, many books.
Or, if you want a physical release, Ocarina of Time was just rereleased for 3DS with minimal changes (no more than a forward would add to a book, really, and one or two "grammatical" changes to make a level a bit more clear) in 2011, and it's still currently number 5 on Amazon's 3DS game list. OoT will be 15 this September.
In fact, as I linked before, GoG is covered in games 15 years+, and they are well known for updating games (bug fixing, mostly, and getting rid of hilarious "This game needs at least 256mb of ram, you only have 2gb" types of errors).
Still, all that is long tail (well, not the Zelda and other high profile re-releases, of course). What I'm getting at is Steam style sales can completely revitalize a game (or, I believe, a book) that has hit long tail sales. For instance, Dustforce, an indie game that sold okay but wasn't a super hit, posted up these stats. They followed a similar 90% rule (Video games tend to a have a one month initial window, however) but, if you'll take a look at the graph, they continued selling steadily (~30 copies a day, not terrible) then hit their first major sale...where their graph suddenly came back to life. Then they hit the pay-what-you-want humble indie bundle, where the game surged back to life again, making in two weeks roughly half of what they had made in the nine months before and increasing their base trickle rates.
Two of those three games have sufficiently better remakes, perhaps he will have the same feeling of missing out on something growing up if you give him an almost 15 year old console, instead of the new and hip versions of the same experiences. Remember parents/future parents, there's a purpose to remakes.
(By the way, said remakes are here and here you might also want to see this and this )
So to confirm, if I get one of the games, it has to be the physical cartridge (not eshop)? And then I also need a powersave as well? Is that another physical thing I have to buy, or it is just a download?
Additionally, if I go with the Ocarina of Time method (since it's the cheapest one and it's the only one I'd have any interest in as an actual game), does it matter if I have the "Nintendo Selects" version (which is cheaper), or do I need the one that doesn't say that? Is there even a difference?
On 10.2, oot runs at the cost of a normal game at this link:http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Time-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451023018&sr=8-1&keywords=ocarina+of+time+3d.
So, if you are willing to buy a game, and go through the 30 minute process of transferring the hacked save file w/ power saves, then go for it. Hope I helped. You can also update to 10.3 to do this method. You get badges, and if you successfully homebrew Oot3d, you can get custom badges with a homebrew app I forget the name of, but I use it alot. I have 288 badges. XD
It is starting to become rare. Used copies are selling for higher than retail. it is still on amazon though.

Yes, I tried to add it to my cart and it kept disappearing. It's making me go insane.
That's just the mobile Amazon site.
http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Time-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ is the desktop site.
OH OH BOY I can talk a lot about this. I literally just sat back in my chair and stretched my fingers so that I could write this comment. Ok. Here goes.
I think I've typed enough but I could definitely keep going. Basically, if you ever want recommendations for games just hit me up, folks! :P

Just curious do you know why though they both look like the same game, one is twice the price of the other?

so buy this game, follow this guide to install a9lh and from there I should be good to go?
Thanks!
You learn to adapt with the controls.
CPPro is about $20, and they even have a more ergonomic Hori Circle Pad Pro http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/21/horis-3ds-accessory-gives-one-hand-a-second-circle-pad/
You can find and meet new people online. 97% are mindless AI that are scripted to do stupid things, 1% auto kick you from room, 1% are pretty cool, and the final 1% are alright people.
If you're really hesitant, the game goes on sale once in a blue moon. And remember, over time, 3DS games go up in price, not down: http://smile.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Ocarina-Time-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B003O6E800/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426927690&sr=8-1&keywords=ocarina+time+3ds
