Just completed everything I needed to do on the first day of the game to get the Ocarina back, are there any sidequests/items I can get during this time? I forget.

 

[Übermatik]

Woodfall temple, Fairies, Sniffing Mask thing, Blue potion, swamp shooing minigame, Pictograph contest, all complete in one day... AW YEAH.

 

[Majestad]

On my way to the swamp portion of the game. The graphics are fucking beautiful.

Grezzo killing these Zelda remakes.

So... did the music get remastered? did we get some new tracks? I never could play the original so...
EDIT: Also sometimes the screen gets smaller.... why is that?

It does that when it's counting down the last few seconds until the next day.

 

[TaKeRx]

Thanks everyone! I stopped playing because i had financial troubles back then. I'll hold off on playing MM before I can snag a copy of OOT.

Are you talking about the camera being drunk and zooming out, or the screen getting smaller right when a new day is coming? It's a strange effect, looks like it just kills the resolution or what...

Sano: I was originally a fan of the Nintendo 64 version so I played it when it was out, but...I was one of those that lost the challenge! (laughs)

Iwata: You couldn't clear the game?

Sano: Unfortunately, no.

I get that people that didn't like majora's mask already were the target audience for this port but jeez.

Please tell me Tatl stops interfering every 5 seconds after the first cycle is done.

 

[MattyG]

Aww man anyone else get the Majora's Mask CE guide? It's BEAUTIFUL.

I suck at making cool photos but I tried:



It only cost me €18, but I would've paid double that. It's so pretty

Mine's coming on Monday. Then I'll have all of the hardcover guides except ALBW, which I can't find anywhere now.

 

[Meh3D]

Any graphical differences when playing this game on the old 3DS or the N3DS? Think I recall texturing to be improved in some games. Remember seeing pictures somewhere of this.

I mini-raged when I read that exchange yesterday. Valuing the gaming opinion of someone who can't beat a 1998 Nintendo game. Do they think all those people who bought the Famicom returned it to the store because the games were too hard? Are children dumber today than they were 25 years ago, that they need tutorials in every game?

Spoiler

don't answer that

I did notice she was a bit chatty in the beginning when you're forced to be a Deku Scrub, but afterwards it's incredulous how relatively silent she's been.

The new Bomber's Notebook is fantastic, I've been running all over Clock Town adding events to my notebook. Not a fan of the Happy Mask Salesman just straight up giving it to you, but I guess its useful for new players.

I'm actually really surprised there has been nothing blatantly telling you how to slow or fast forward time.

What I like the most about the new notebook is the hint system. Makes exploration much easier without giving away anything, and helps making the Bombers feel like an actual society worried about Clock Town.

 

[AaronMT86]

This is my first play through of Majora’s Mask ever, and this has probably been asked many times but how come completing ‘events’ (e.g, getting a heart piece) and being rewarded doesn’t move items from my Bomber’s Notebook into the completed category, it adds the to the on-going events subsection at the top?

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Dear Nintendo.

I need a patch for Ocarina of Time that allows me to use the C-Stick/Circle Pad Pro to control the camera.

I need it now.

Sincerely,
Me

No, without magic. Press R as much as you like and you can swim like in the original. Press R and jump out of the water! hooray!

No I mean, can you still swim quickly without using magic? I know that when you empty the bar you can do dashes, but does it still work when you have magic?

Maybe they're not Complete yet?

Though I've completed all 3 days of the Deku coin game in the North side of town and it's still Ongoing...?

 

[JeTmAn81]

So I don't think I ever even got to the swamp in my previous attempts to play this game. Yay new Zelda! How do I pull a fish out of the water?

In the same cycle? You need three in a row to get the final reward.

 

[ShadowOwl]

So, does the Picto Box allow you to take screenshots (SD card) or doesn't it? This seems to unclear...

Completely forgot the song of time doesn't save the game anymore and lost about 4 hours of progress.

I was originally not so sure about the revamped boss battles, but they're actually a lot better than the originals so far. Odolwa was especially way better, since in the original game he was just kinda weird and clunky and awkward.

People really were overreacting with these changes.

I've liked the first two so far. I think Goht is way more fun now. (Not that it wasn't before)

 

[Majestad]

The bombers location at the beginning of the game were changed, right? I swear I remember there was one bomber that grabbed a cucco and flied away haha.

 

[Necromanti]

I get that people that didn't like majora's mask already were the target audience for this port but jeez.

I probably didn't 100% the game in terms of every heart piece when I was 10, but I never knew that people struggled so much with the game. It's a good mix between open-ended and linear without making you feel lost. There's a lot more (unobtrusive) hand-holding in the remake, though, and they've done a lot to remove any potential frustration from the game, so hopefully people won't struggle as much this time around. It almost feels like there's more of an established quest system now with the new Bomber's Notebook.

Anyway, what did they change with Goht? I don't remember the original boss battle that well, but all it takes now is to

Spoiler

roll into it a few times as Goron Link and then shoot/stab/punch its eye

. I'm guessing they made it a lot easier.

How is Majora's Mask on a non new 3DS? I'm thinking about getting it but not upgrading my handheld.

It is playing just fine on my 3DS XL. I don't think there are really many in-game differences between the two besides the nub and I'm guessing better 3D on the n3ds.

 

[JonnyKong]

I'm finding it really hard to get the perfect 30 points from the swordsman. Is there an easy technique I'm just being oblivious to? I can only usually jump cut four of the eight or so logs. It just seems completely random to me whether or not link is lined up at the right angle.

I'm useless

Yeah, do a jump attack for each of the logs. Use side jumps and rolls to get between them. Make sure you are at the right distance or Link will miss. Took me a few tries yesterday.

Lock on, the poke the circle pad so Link moves a little, the direction doesn't really matter. Then press A. He'll jump and hit, and since you moved, he will automatically have circle-strafed the target, so he's pointed at it.
