Okay, so I've been following much of the buzz around this game. Is it me, or is everyone (including you Gamespot) making a rather big deal over the graphical improvements? It's kinda funny actually when these reviewers speak about the orignial OoT graphics. The implication almost sounds as if the graphics have actually aged (I know that's not what they mean), but damn! You get the impression that you can't even play the game anymore! I was playing this magnificent game (original) just the other day, and you know what? It's EXACTLY the same as it was when it first came out =-) Speaking of which, when OoT was first released, it was met with unfathomable praise. Again, I see reviewers making it sound as if the game is so obsolete it isn't playable anymore. Funny? I think so. The single most important part of the game is what the reviewers seem to have forgotten, and that is; the EXPERIENCE! If they can capture that on a small handheld device then kudos to OoT3D. In all honesty I don't think it will be the same as playing on a big TV with big sound, but hey, there's a lot of kids out there now who never experinced the original. The whole 3D thing is very cool and all, but in the end it's just a gimmick. I know it's not a port, but in essence it actually is. I'm crossing my fingers that this new OoT will have some actual new stuff, i.e. a few dungeons and maybe a new weapon.
Sorry, I didn't mean calling it a gimmick in a bad way. IMHO, it's just not that big of a selling point, to me at least. Otherwise I think it's pretty damn cool they can do it without the glasses nowadays.
I'll say it again because no one else seems to... the biggest problem with Ocarina of Time is the insanely limited visibility... i.e. character/enemy pop-in. Everything is invisible like five feet out from Link! Majora's Mask is actually still playable because the pop-in is not nearly so bad. (not to mention the textures being a few steps up from the mud in OoT)
looking at the pictures it is amazing how great the game is looking. OoT was great back in the day but some things have been drastically improved visual wise while still keeping true to the original look and concept of the original.

they had big TV's with big sound back in 1998?
lol... back in 1998?... It wasn't THAT long ago. Technology has changed but there were big TVs with big sound in the 1990s. They were no where close to how common they are now. and by "big tv's" i mean like 40-50 inch. i remember playing zelda on a 25-27 inch tv, but by the way the TC worded it sounded like he meant BIG screens.

lol... back in 1998?... It wasn't THAT long ago. Technology has changed but there were big TVs with big sound in the 1990s. In 1998 we had a 19" television and played 4-way split-screen games on it.

lol you talk like 1998 was 100 years ago. I was like 17 back then and most people had 27/32 inch TVs at least. I knew alot of people with 50+ inch but they were projection and were kinda dark looking.

I knew alot of people with 50+ inch but they were projection and were kinda dark looking. like i said previously, 50 inch t.v's werent the norm back then. So i guess it all boils down to what your definition of "Big" is...

Haha, its funny because I would do the 4-way splitscreen on a 27" TV about 10 years ago and now I can't even stand playing 4-way MarioKart splitscreen on a 42". It's weird how technology grows on people.
One can still play a great game of old and appreciate it more with better graphics. I'm kinda looking forward to it a bit more as the days go by.JustPlainLucas
