I really want to try the 3DS remake, even though I wonder how confusing it would be at first with the maps being reversed.
I tried out another game that was given to me last night, and I realized that I was only 9 years old when it came out. Not only does that seem like forever ago, I the younger me is smiling that not only am I still playing those games, some of them like Star Fox 64 that I'm still really good at.
The maps are only reversed on the harder mode called Master Quest, which is only available after completing the game normally once. The Master mode dungeons are slightly different, enemies cause 2x damage and the game has been mirrored, like Twilight Princess on the Wii (making Link right handed - which is wrong by Zelda otaku standards
).
I really enjoyed it because not only it was nice to replay the classic, but game graphics have been updated, making it even prettier (it was pretty back in the days), the 3D effects are enjoyable (making some enemies appear even more fearsome or places more grandiose) and some game annoyances have been fixed (water temple is less annoying) or some things slightly made more convenient (like all items available at the bottom screen, so boots are easily changed for example). They also added a boss mode, where you can challenge yourself with previous boss fights again.
Anyway, good remake, worth getting. Not only a port, a total game revamp.
