I would like to see LTTP remade in full 3D!

Play Ocarina of Time.

are they that much alike? wouldn't know since I haven't played more than an hour or so of LTTP

Ocarina of Time is basically the 3D version of A Link to The Past:

3 dungeons first, obtain Master Sword, dark world (future in OoT), some dungeons, final boss. ALTTP has more dungeons


I have been saying that for years, and yet every time I do I get harassed for it.  It's even a worse version of it, if you ask me.  (fewer dungeons, shorter dungeons, fewer weapons, and some nasty poor conveyance at parts) 

Well, to be fair, every Zelda game has fewer dungeons than A Link to the Past.

But I would dispute the argument that Ocarina is A Link to the Past with a 3D treatment. For three reasons:

1) Story

There is a bigger and deeper story in Ocarina, one that plays with narrative logic much more than A Link to the Past.

2) Mechanics

Ocarina operates according to different mechanical rules than it's predecessor. Things like z-targeting and auto-jump seem passe now, but in 1998 they represented major steps forward.

3) Immersion

Ocarina immersed its players more convincingly in the virtual game world. Horseback riding, fishing, the realistic passage of time -- all these things and more made the experience more real, more livable. It's one of the main reasons Ocarina is the greatest video game of all time, at least in my opinion.
