Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time more intuitive on 3DS

The updated version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the most anticipated games for the Nintendo 3DS. According to Nintendo’s Bill Trinen, it will also be more intuitive than the original.

Trinen told Kotaku that series producer Eiji Aonuma regretted the fact that changing items in the original was such a convoluted process.

He added that a touchscreen inventory system will make challenges such as the water temple less complicated, as players would have easier access to items. "The water temple involved putting the iron boots on and off, taking them on, taking them off, ... to move up and down in the water" said Trinen. "To do that you had to press the start button, you'd have to switch over to your inventory screen, you'd have to scroll around to get down to your iron boots and then, of course, in between, you're switching out the iron boots with the hookshot and things like this." Trinen promised that "a new touch-screen-based inventory system will improve this."
