 Ocarina of Time fans, you may want to sit down for this (as if you’d be standing anyway). The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is no longer the best reviewed game of all time according to GameRankings.com.
WHAT THE F-!?!
WAIT, hold on. The good news is, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is its replacement. I have to tell you, I’ve played and beaten Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it’s an incredible game. But is it worthy of besting Ocarina of Time?
No, not really. At least not in my opinion. And right now Ocarina of Time is still at the top on Metacritic, which is the site most people in the know prefer to use. Not saying they’re better, but it’s more popular by far.
As you probably know by now, Ocarina of Time is being remade for the Nintendo 3DS in glorious 3D (without the need for special glasses). In addition, improvements to the gameplay have been confirmed by Nintendo, like a difficulty decease to the dreaded Water Temple. It’s currently slated for release on launch day for the 3DS (so sometime before March 31st, 2011), so who knows if Ocarina of Time can reclaim its spot as the “number one game” of all time.

 Today is June 8th, 2010. In exactly one week Nintendo will take the stage at E3 and unveil not only their new portable console (the 3DS) and the Wii vitality sensor, but also their mysterious new MotionPlus-exclusive Zelda game for Wii.
As one more (and probably last) reminder, Nintendo’s media briefing is June 15th at 9:00 a.m. PT. That’s pacific time, so click here to find out exactly when that is in your time zone.
You don’t need to be at E3 in person to experience Nintendo’s announcements as they happen, because Nintendo has setup an official website where you can watch the show live. Just visit http://e3.nintendo.com on June 15th at 9 am PT and you’re good to go! Of course we’ll be reporting all the Zelda news as soon as possible with our own reactions too, so don’t forget to visit Zelda Chronicles that day as well.
To pass the time until some big E3 news or leaks, here’s a few Zelda related news stories from the past week that we didn’t think warranted a full separate post:

GoNintendo has learned that the official date for Nintendo’s 2010 E3 media briefing is June 15th. Although no specific time was given, they speculate that they will present sometime before Sony’s showing which is later that day. If past E3s are any indication, you’ll probably want to wake up early (or not go to sleep!)
Personally, I can’t wait for Zelda’s big reveal (which has been hinted to be at E3), but I’d be lying if I said that’s all I care about. I’m a huge Nintendo fanboy so any new details on Pikmin, The Last Story or Retro Studio’s new project, and of course the 3DS will make me giddy. Stay tuned to Zelda Chronicles for news and our thoughts on this year’s E3.

 In the latest Iwata Asks feature, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata mentioned that after seeing the graphics of Monster Hunter Tri, the Zelda team became pressured into reaching the bar Capcom had set for graphics capable on Wii.
I can tell Nintendo’s staff has really been galvanized by you. I can tell they feel like you did what they hadn’t yet. Looking at the graphics objectively, I feel like the game’s visuals are one of the representative examples of what can ultimately be done with Wii. I think it has placed the Zelda team under a considerable amount of pressure.

 We’ve got a couple of videos for you with Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo of America. The first is an MTV interview from a couple of weeks ago, in which Reggie reveals even he hasn’t played Zelda Wii yet.
The second is a full Nintendo-themed 22-minute episode of GameTrailers TV from March 13th, where Reggie briefly discusses Zelda near the end. Nothing new is shown or talked about, but you might be able to find a hint or two. Watch the videos by clicking the link below.

 Nintendo of Japan has officially announced the successor to the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS, a handheld in which 3D effects can be achieved without the need for special 3D glasses. The device will feature backwards compatibility with all previous DS and DSiWare games, and will be detailed at this year’s E3 on June 15th. No specific release date was given, although a Holiday 2010 release seems very likely. Press release and thoughts after the break.
