Majora's Mask 3D |OT| Remakes are a Nice Thing to Have Heh, heh
- Thread starter Kriken
- Start date
Much better 3D Zelda? Hmmmmmm.
By "a much better 3D Zelda to start with" I mean "If you haven't played a 3D Zelda, you're going to find it much more approachable than Majora's Mask."
Fuck...I've never done it without the Stone Mask. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do all of Great Bay in one cycle anymore if I have to spend so much time in the Fortress.
Edit: Wait I just remembered
the bow stuns the Gerudos for a really long time

Yeah, it's awesome. I have more fun that way even if it's easier.
Also, note to self, stop forgetting to turn in fairies before going back in time. Done it twice now...

Of course not. That was long before even the Circle Pad Pro existed.
I looked that up from zeldawiki ... haven't gotten the pictobox yet so no clue^^
Right now, you can have a 3DS with all of these Zelda games on it:
Zelda 1
Zelda 2
Link's Awakening
Ocarina of Time
Majoras Mask
Four Swords
Minish Cap (ambassadors only)
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Seasons
Link Between Worlds
I mean, fuuuuuck that's almost the entire series.
I was thinking the same thing, had my best score on the
river targets
Clocktown shooting gallery
Thank you for moving the underwater fairy bubble in the first temple, nintendo. That was by far the most annoying one in the dungeon.
BTW I fucking love this game. Its only better now. Bomber's Notebook is much improved and the save changes are actually great being detached from the time cycle.

Btw, can someone tell me what quests can I do after the second dungeon? What masks are available to pick? So far, I have:
Deku
Goron
Of Scents
Great Fairy
Blast
Bremen
Don Gero
Goron
Of Scents
Great Fairy
Blast
Bremen

Yep. And the few clues it gives are ridiculously cryptic.

Pretty much. Even the rumors are incredibly vague.
This game sure is Majora's Mask alright. Seen lots of slowdown during my playthrough, funny thing is that isn't a negative at all. Really gives me nostalgia to see the game stutter during certain situations. Lol
I've also been arranging my masks in the same order as they are in the N64 version as I obtain them. Love this game. <3
I'll make sure to double dip and get the digital version in the future.

Anybody experience a weird thing where when pressing L to recenter camera behind, then pressing up to start moving the direction link is facing before the camera finishes moving, stops the camera and link moves in whatever direction the camera was in while spinning. E.g., 90 degrees, 18 degrees, whatever.
Hey doods, anyone have a rough ballpark guess on how much this would be worth?
There is a guy selling/trading for it on Craigslist and I already offered him a sealed copy of my MM soundtrack. But if I'm not getting totally screwed, I might be willing to trade him my extra LE MM game w/ the Skull Kid figurine.
uhh I am not an expert but I would say very little. The soundtrack and game are worth way more.
Just beat the 3rd temple, boss thoughts
Wow that was the first time I have been legitimately challenged in this game. Was incredibly cool to see how they changed it. 2nd half of the fight was a actually a bit difficult and I really like they did something different mechanically.
Also does anybody know what rewards you get for fishing? I also saw something strange in the Great Bay fishing area.
It looks like there is a cave underwater that is blocked by leaves.

Go ahead with that deal if you want to live up to your username.
You are gonna get ripped off. That standee is worth absolutely nothing. At best, its a neat curiosity, but it is basically worthless. The stuff you are willing to trade for it have actual real value right now and their values are going to increase over time. Don't be a fool!

Sorry if this was already asked/answered, but I'm on the fence about the getting the New 3DS.. How does MM run/play on a normal XL. What are the differences? Are they worth $200?
i don't think there are any performance differences. Just C-stick controls.
TheMoon
Member
There are exactly 0 differences aside from the camera control being native to the C-Stick on New3DS and requiring a Circle Pad Pro (XL) on the old models. That said, since the original game didn't have any camera control, they are entirely non-essential and might even be more distracting than useful most of the time.
What the fuck how did I never try that.

Yeah, I will have to eat a crow as well. The game is actually better thanks to some of the changes.Some of you know I was really against some of the changes and, well, I've just finished eating.
The pausing of the journal isn't as annoying as I thought it would be, and it has even gotten me to do things I never did in my original playthrough (like winning the lottery).
Seriously. I got 39 on my first try. And you only need 20.
Happy to hear it. :-3 I haven't had much time to play yet. Only played through the intro and saved outside the clock tower. Still in the first three days.Some of you know I was really against some of the changes and, well, I've just finished eating.

That's not the only target mini game. I got 40 something on that one first try and Perfect on my second try at the octorok shooting gallery.
It's indispensable. I end up switching back and forth whenever there's any advantage because its so easy and intuitive.
Makes perfect sense. That's the best place to use that mask.
I gotta say I had to put this game down after a while because after completing the initial 3 days I felt a bit directionless and overwhelmed: I mean, I knew I could now go to the dungeons (well, access to the swamp seemed possible) but I felt I was missing stuff at Clock Town, like a bigger wallet, and it was confusing about how you lose most things by going back in time but it took me a while to figure the bank saves money regardless. I think I'm now on the right track though.
Then Termina Field seemed a bit empty and there's only 4 dungeons that I'm aware of... I'm a bit concerned but I have faith.

First ever play through for me.
I'm about done with the first 3 days and I just got to the observatory and got a stone. Is that good progress? lol.
I'm a bit afraid about this whole time mechanic.

Yeah. You've done everything you can do story wise for now.
Without spoiling anything, there's one more step you need to figure out before time runs out.
The first three days is a bit different than the rest. Once you get the ocarina, time is yours to control.
Nothing to fear about the time mechanic, once you get your Ocarina back, time bends to your will
You still need to give that stone to someone in town who wants it. And then use what they give to reach a place you couldn't reach before.
The Goron Elder was a bit more...hidden...in the original right? I have not such a good memory for all the changes, played the N64 years ago. Enjoying a lot though, got 20 Heart Pieces (so 9 full hearts currently), next cycle I might go for the Snowhead Temple.
Woodfall Temple was good, as I remembered it. I guess it's the best starting dungeon in the Zelda series period, nothing can compare. It's a bit cheating, I know.

Got the game today and....man, Nintendo and Grezzo did a fantastic job remaking this classic :').
The visuals look fantastic and I love all the little touches the game has (new easter eggs in the Bomb Shop, posters all over Clocktown, a mini-clock town in the Mayor's place). In addition, the smoother frame-rate really helps make the game look 'faster'; Link and his Deku form (didn't gain the Goron and Zora masks yet) have great animations and the new cut-scenes the game has do a great job setting up areas more. Overall, fantastic presentation all around.
I didn't think I would enjoy the touch screen features as much as I did but man, having a map on the touch screen present at all times, having song sheets when you are playing the Orcerena, and the ease of swapping items/masks with the touch screen all make the game play faster then the original I found.
While it makes the game easier, I noticed a lot of little changes that help the game:
-When you go into the swamp, you gain the song of souring right from the get-go
-The which with the red potion bottle is in the forest that you need to give the potion to the weakened which
-You do not need water for growing Magic Beans anymore
-You respawn right near the magic bean spot/deku flower when the guards catch you
-Feather statues very common throughout Termina
They do not detract from the game at all, but I just found them to be interesting inclusions to the game.
Really enjoying the remake so far and I'm glad more people can play this classic.

Almost starting Snowhead.
Funny story,
I am playing the JP version and got to the dog race. I realize I cannot read any dog responses. I decided to go with dogs with an ! in their phrase.
I got it the third try. Poor Chuggaaconroy...

You either need it to be raining or have water for magic beans for sure...
I always found the blue dog to be useless, don't care if he says good things, he ALWAYS sucked in my playthroughs

Picked this along with a new red 3DS XL yesterday. I never really played Majora's Mask prior to this, I had the Gamecube disk- but never got too far into it.
Actually, I've played quite a few but never beaten one. Is there anything I should know diving in? Other than what is in the OP of course.

Yes you do.

They even added one on every temple entrance. Once again, casualized.
