If you've played previous versions of Zelda, you're in for few surprises in this 3D version, according to our well-Zeldafied testers, besides some nice 3D frosting and a few games that use the cameras. If you've never played a Zelda title, this is a great choice. The streamlined touch-screen interface and new motion controls are designed to give the game a more intuitive feel. There is also a new hint system to help novice players. The game retains the analog control of the original version of the game via the Circle Pad, but players can also use motion controls by moving the Nintendo 3DS system to aim their slingshot or bow at an enemy with speed and accuracy. When you finish the main story you can look forward to the Master Quest, a second quest with harder puzzles that is unlocked. You can get hints by visiting the Skeikah Stone. The bottom line? This game will satisfy your hunger for a good adventure game, providing you haven't already played older versions.
