The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has a new item… kind of

Gamers who were able to collect 20 Gold Skulltulas in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were rewarded with a unique item called the Stone of Agony. The tool allowed players to detect hidden areas when the N64 Rumble Pak was plugged into the controller’s memory cartridge slot. As one would expect, the controller would shake when Link came into contact with secret locations. Unfortunately, the item wasn’t very useful in the Wii’s Virtual Console release since the title was a straight port and lacked rumble support. There is good news for Ocarina of Time 3D, though, as Nintendo has made sure that things will be different in the upgraded port.
In the 3DS game, the Stone of Agony is no more. It has been discovered that the Shard of Agony has taken its place, which operates similarly, but offers audio/visual clues rather than rumble hints. As Link approaches a secret, a pinging sound will be played and an icon of the Shard flashes on the upper-left portion of the screen.
You can check out some images of the item above.
