The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is an action-adventure game developed by Grezzo and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. A remake of the original 1998 Nintendo 64 game, it features updated graphics, stereoscopic 3D effects, and mirrored versions of the rearranged dungeons from Ocarina of Time Master Quest. The game was released in June 2011, with digital release via the Nintendo eShop arriving in 2012.
The player controls the series' trademark hero, Link, in the land of Hyrule. Link sets out on a quest to stop Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo tribe, from obtaining the Triforce, a sacred relic that grants the wishes of its holder. Link travels back and forth through time and navigates various dungeons to awaken sages who have the power to seal Ganondorf away. Music plays an important role—to progress, the player must learn to play and perform several songs on an ocarina.

Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes
This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Link, a young hero who must stop an evil king from obtaining a magical relic. Players explore dungeons and caves while using a sword, boomerang, slingshot, and magical spells to defeat a variety of fantastical enemies (e.g, dinosaurs, skeletons, giant spiders). Some ranged weapons also allow players to shoot projectiles (e.g., arrows) from a first-person view. Battles are accompanied by grunting sounds and colorful light effects; enemies blink and disappear when defeated. During one boss battle, Link jabs at a pig-like enemy, resulting in brief splashes of green liquid; a handful of other enemies emit similar effects when struck. As the game progresses, Link encounters a few female characters that are depicted from low camera angles and dressed in outfits that display moderate amounts of cleavage.
