The original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a tricky and difficult game, especially so when it first came out. The Ocarina of Time remake follows in the same footsteps, but just a bit more modernized. Some puzzles and quests are a tad easier now, but that doesn't mean you'll have a nice stroll through the Lost Woods.
Ocarina of Time is still a challenging game that will put your brain to the test. Here are 10 beginner's tips and tricks to help you on your journey across Hyrule. Before you start exploring, head into your settings and adjust them to your liking.
You can change how fast the camera moves, turn off motion-control aiming, swap jump from X to B, simplify your HUD, and more. It's best to change all of these settings as soon as you start playing, so you don't acclimate to the original settings. If you didn't play the original Ocarina of Time, this may seem a bit trivial as every game has some way to sprint and jump.
However, in the original, players would constantly forward roll to move faster and let the game do the jumping for them. Luckily, the Ocarina of Time remake has been modernized a tad. To sprint, press A once and then hold it down.
Unfortunately, you can't adjust it to be a toggle, but at least you don't have to mash A anymore. To jump, press X, but you can also adjust it to B in the settings. It's also important to note that you can jump attack, which will deal double damage.
When you encounter new monsters and enemies, wait for Navi to fly over them and press Right on the D-pad. Navi will tell you what the creature is, and sometimes, she'll give you tips on how to beat them or even their weakness. As you travel to new areas in Ocarina of Time, it can be hard to figure out what you should do first to progress.
