If I were you, I'd play Link to the Past on the SNES or Wii Virtual console first. Ocarina of Time is best played on the N64 or especially the 3DS rather than the Virtual Console, and is arguably the place to start with the 3D games. LttP is probably the best 2D game, establishes a lot of the series conventions, and does a decent job setting the tone for the non-3D entries in the series.




Why not Virtual Console?

Best on 3DS because you can switch items far easier and faster. Not that item-switching is a deal-breaker by any means, but on 3DS the game goes from a 10/10 to an 12.5/10. Don't know what his issue is with the VC. Can't complain about having save states.


The Wii VC doesn't have save states, and the Wii is the only one which has N64. Some consoles there does have a suspension point thing, but that's not the same, and N64 VC titles doesn't even have that if I can recall...

Either way, play the 3DS version of Ocarina if you can, the old one is horribly outdated especially in the framerate department... Sources say it's 20 fps, but I am pretty sure it's around 16-17... pretty big difference there when you deal with low framerates.

 

I don't know either what his problems with VC vs N64 is though, since they're identical. Except you lose the usefulness of Stone of Agony which required a rumble pak on N64.

I thought Ocarina was ported to Wii U VC, but I guess I should've checked first. I'm normally better about that.
