Wonderfully so. I played OoT for the first time in 2013 with the 3DS remake and I was shocked at how incredible the game was.

Did it aged well?

The answer is no, and anyone who tries to say otherwise is lying to themselves. OoT is one of the most influential and legendary video games ever created. It has also aged like utter dogshit.

Most things that haven’t aged that well (Graphics, text speed, aiming, water temple, iron boots) have been fixed in the 3DS version.
The story, level design, the charm of the NPCs all hold up really well.

Cold take but both Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 (And Majora’s Mask which I love even more than Ocarina) aged perfectly fine, at least if the 3DS remake is as accurate to the original as people say it is.
They’re just well designed games and the amount of content they have is comparable to modern releases. They’re outclassed in many regards in many different ways by some of their sequels, but I find they have the least flaws and most consistently fun gameplay with no sore spots.

imo early 3d games don’t age well, SNES games age much better.
Goldeneye is pretty much unplayable to be honest.

Somehow Hyrule Field in Ocarina feels too cramped and too big at the same time. It doesn’t feel right in the modern day for all the major locations in Hyrule to be attached to one central “hub”, but at the same time actually traversing back and forth gets old fast. That’s the one poorly aged element they couldn’t fix with the 3DS version, the overworld isn’t interesting enough to justify being so big and it’s not big enough to illustrate the supposedly massive world they try to present.

Yes. I played it for the first time 7-8 years ago and I loved it. Really good game.
