Some players have noticed that the 3DS’s Wi-Fi becomes disabled while playing Ocarina of Time. Many people found this to be a glitch in the game, but that does not seem to be the case. Here is what Nintendo had to say about it.

“Nintendo is aware that some customers have noticed that they do not appear online in the Friends List of their friends while playing certain software. Whether you appear online in the Friend List or not during gameplay is dependent upon the software you are playing. Some games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, will not simultaneously be able to connect to Wi-Fi through Nintendo 3DS. This is a design specification, not a bug or malfunction.”

That seems to be an interesting answer. I am not sure why Nintendo would do this, except maybe to save the battery. I do not see this as a major issue. I am a lone wolf.  Not part of any wolf pack. I am fine playing games as a lone wolf. Some people need to be part of a wold pack. To see what each wolf pack member is doing…..Sorry just watched the Hangover for the million time.
