Gameplay
Gameplay is mostly kept from the original version, but is updated in several ways. After obtaining the Master Sword, players can switch between Adult Link and Young Link at will by placing and removing it from its pedestal, each Link able to use different items and access different areas. The bottom screen is used for most of the menus and HUD from the original game, allowing players to switch between the area map, equipment, and items at will. For items, players are given four buttons (X, Y, and two touch screen buttons) to equip them on, while the ocarina has its own dedicated button rather than being an item. Some functions, such as the bow and Hookshot or camera, allow for a first-person view controlled either with the circle pad or with the system's built-in gyroscope, allowing players to move the system to aim.
A new feature included in this game is Sheikah Stones. If the player does not know how to progress at certain points, Link can crawl inside the stone and the player can choose to view one of several "Visions", video clips which give the player hints on how to solve a puzzle or overcome a challenge.
This version of the game also includes a version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest, which can be accessed by beating the game. For Master Quest, the entire game world has been mirrored, and enemies deal twice as much damage. Also available in this version is the Boss Challenge, which allows the player to rematch bosses that have already been beaten, and after every boss has been defeated the "Gauntlet" mode is unlocked, which has Link face every boss in the game in one sitting.
