Phendrana Drifts

I can now certainly say that the GameCube version of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is much better than the N64 version. Better graphics, better sounds (although I'm not sure about using the c-stick to replace the c buttons on the N64 controller). Don't be expecting the world if you got this pre-order bonus from Nintendo mind you - the graphics are not updated, rather they are run on a higher resolution on the GameCube resulting in a more crisp and sharp picture. I noticed upon comparison that the graphics were also richer - greens greener and etc., but this might be a result of using a S-Video output on my GameCube than anything else. The sound is considerable in its difference, with the use of surround sound in the GameCube version. I don't know for sure if it is true Dolby Pro Logic surround sound, but the quality difference is certainly palpable. On the whole, it is certainly worth the nothing I paid for it, and aside from getting used to the controls (which I have to for The Wind Waker anyway) and the amount of memory it uses (15 blocks!), it is the best version to play the Ocarina of Time on (plus you get the Master Quest as a bonus). 9/10

Regardless, I'm off to watch Total Recall now. TTFN.
