About the game
Ocarina of Time first came out on the Nintendo 64. This is a remake, which means Nintendo rebuilt the game for a new console. The Verge's reviewer played some parts and said the game is a lot of fun. The graphics and art style look great, and the controls are easier to learn, even for players new to this kind of game.
Why it matters
If you want the physical copy, the discount ends when preorders close, and the price is expected to rise after launch. The article also includes other deals, such as a dock, a flower kit, and a Mac Mini, but the Zelda deal is the main news.
