According to all official statements from Nintendo, Ocarina of Time on the 3DS is on sale today – but most of us have been playing the game since last Friday. It was the strangest, most covert street break in Australian history – a street break that threatens to transform the way games are sold in this country. We spoke to all the major retailers, and Nintendo itself, to try and uncover precisely what happened, and why.
Zelda music renditions are a dime a dozen. Zelda YouTube music renditions ON A CARROT ain’t. Here, YouTuber heita3 plays the tune “Song of Time” from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on a carrot, which he’s dubbed his “Carrot Ocarina”. Hey, cut him some slack, he’s playing music on vegetables! Hit the jump for him playing non-game songs on broccoli, a pumpkin, a cucumber, a radish, a cabbage and a bunch of carrots. This guy is all kinds of awesome.
It was big news when we heard Mario Galaxy had overtaken Ocarina of Time as the #1-rated game of ALL TIME over at Gamerankings. That was a record that had stood for a long, long time. And, unless you want to be a prick about it, is still standing: Ocarina of Time has reclaimed the top position. Seems not everyone was done reviewing Mario Galaxy, and when a couple more scores trickled through the gates that weren’t up to the other’s standards, it dropped Mario to #2. I know that was enough to cancel my pre-order (Aus release date: Nov 29). Who wants the second-best game of all time? Not me, that’s for sure.
