When someone mentions handheld gaming the first thing that pops into a gamers mind is usually a Nintendo product like the Game Boy or the 3DS. If you mention the same subject to someone who has never really been into the video game scene they would probably think of Angry Birds, Flappy Bird or whatever bird based game is popular at the time. The reason for this is that unless you’re either under the age of 12 or you are a video game enthusiast 99% of your gaming is done on your phone.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

No
Definitely not.
Yeah, how will 3DS and Vita survive without all of those flappy bird clones and micro-transaction laden king games.
Handheld games consoles have absolutely nothing to fear from mobiles. The problem with mobiles is, when you have a device that attempts to be a "jack of all trades" it inevitably ends up a "master of none".
3DS and Vita try to be nothing other than gaming devices and that's why they're not going anywhere.
SMH.. smartphones and tablets games have VERY DIFFERENT market than handheld gaming.
seriously, just because huge number of people "play games" on smartphone/tablet doesn't mean they can be defined the same as gamers who play handheld.
No, for the simple reason that they are dedicated gaming devices.
The 3ds has flagship nintendo titles who won't see the light of day on android or IOS as long as Nintendo remains successful.
The Vita has remote play and other attractive features (soon Psnow, strong multiplayer components).
Question is, will Sony develop and create a new handheld after the Vita?
Ps: I love my 3ds and Vita, my gamegear, psp and gameboy before that.
