I usually use the bunny hood and jump from the next highest platform closest to it. I always make it.

The Inverted Song of Time doesn't give you as much time on the 3DS version as it did on the N64. In the N64 version it tripled the amount of time you had, but it only doubles the amount of time you have now.

I don't have the bunny hood yet
Will have to try use the other deku plant.

There were bugs in the lobby? blast I was heading to the back room with the tree every time with my one single bottle, took me an age to realize my last skulltulla was in fact yet another bug requirement that I'd somehow overlooked many times.
Interestingly I find the Swamp House really relies on you knowing that specific N64 Zelda logic at times, I can see people not in the know getting stumped by a few spiders in there.

So, finished the game of course to 100%
This is one of the best remakes I ever played of the best game I ever played, seriously. I can't get better than that. This is the pinnacle of gaming, the perfection in perfection.
Just about everything that was bad in the original game (and there wasn't much since MM was nearly perfection) is fixed, furthermore it had new boss designs, many new features, many little surprises and details. It was made with so much love and you can feel that by every minute you play this gem.
It's a must have.
Also, the final stage blew me away graphically, such graphics on a handheld unbelievable! Grezzo added a lot more atmosphere to the inside of the moon, you can really look forward to that.

There are only 2 skulltula houses.
This is going to really throw me off...

I just did this yesterday, I think you can just jump with out the bunny hood? try rolling as a goron maybe? That might work.
Worst case scenario, jump from one of the higher levels.
There's actually a sign in the lobby that explains that logic, I.E. using bugs to lure out Skulltulas, etc.
I never knew people went for all the stray fairies immediately on the first run through a dungeon. Why would you do that? I always saw it as a reason to come back to the dungeon at a later time so I could look for them without worrying about completing the dungeon afterwards. I mean, I get it if you're replaying the game, but even first time players?
Take your time guys, there's enough of it!

Because "replaying a dungeon" isn't really anything I've been conditioned to do in past Zeldas. I never leave until I've gotten everything inside, be it chests, fairies, or what have you. I would take me some kind of weird effort NOT to look for things, really. What am I supposed to do, just say "eh" and go on to the next room?
I used this adorable map to remind myself where the miniboss is in Woodfall Temple.

As a matter of fact, you do not.
So long as your have the Fire Arrows, you're fair game.

I'd rather finish everything there and move on, there's so much to do that returning to a dungeon again isn't all that fun for me.

There are other reasons to return to the dungeons so meh. I'd rather have the upgrades immediately.

Finally got Master Quest out of the way so I could start on this. I'm playing it really slowly, just having a look around and seeing what's going on now that I've activated the statue next to the first temple ready for the next cycle.
This remake is as good as I could have hoped. I really like all the changes I've seen so far, and the c-nub is surprisingly good to use, but I can understand if some people hate it.

Just started this. Wonderful remake, and so much memory came flooding back to me.
But I'm going to clear out that save file and start over, and see if I can play it naively - following the cues rather than my memory. I think I
I'll get more out of it that way. It'll take a lot longer though ...

It's what I did. I dunno, Majora's Mask is a game about redoing and replaying things, for me at least, so I'd make a mental note of where the fairy was (or just ignore it outright) and just continue on towards the boss. I guess it's because I tend to keep main and sidequests pretty seperate, and I feel like Majora's Mask let's you do that very easily by letting you keep your main quest progress but resetting the sidequest progress.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, for the first time players, you don't need to do everything in one go. The entire system is made for replaying and redoing things, take your time. If you want, of course. There's no right or wrong way to play this game, as you can tell by this entire thread.

Crazy! I mean yeah, you replay a lot of things in this game, but I'd never think to replay a dungeon. There's a reason they let you skip straight to the boss once you beat it. What a huge pain that sounds like.
Definitely bad for my OCD, too. I can't tell you how awful it was to have to put rupees back in chests in Twilight Princess, I needed to be able to clear those places OUT. I got the magic armor and blew myself up with a bomb just so I could empty the chests.

This, this, this.
Unrelated, but something that's been bugging me for a while now. For the Kafei meeting, can I just walk into his place? For years, I would wait until the mailman distracted him, and hop across the pool behind him. Have I been doing it like a sucker all this time?

I don't like leaving them there, my strategy is to look for them as I clear each room, so far that's been successful in the first two dungeons and I got about 60% that way, then did a room by room sweep after getting the boss key and before fighting the boss. I'm technically replaying the game since I got this far on the Gamecube version 7 years ago but I forgot all the locations.
Hahaha, it's actually pretty relaxing! Since you already have the dungeon item it's all pretty damn smooth sailing, especially if you remember the layout and the puzzles. And you have the full three days, so there's no rush at all. The perfect time to get all the stuff you missed the first time through.
And I never bothered with the rupees in TP (or in any Zelda, really). To be perfectly honest, I don't really bother with any small chests, I guess Zelda has conditioned me to ignore them, since it's all just useless rupees anyway.

I think that's the only time the door isn't locked (until it's too late), so that's the only time when I've had any success.
You can just walk in AFAIK. The whole point of the letter is
so that he trusts you because Anju says so
You can, by backflipping
Stuck in the mountain dungeon for too long, been running around in circles for about two days :
I can't seem to find a way to the top with the middle platform raised all the way. If the platform is up I get blocked when trying to go up by it. It's usually a gap I jump across which I get blocked from. Also I keep seeing faries in hidden places with the magnifying glass but they are just floating there and out of reach.
edit - nvm figured out where to go

The door is locked until he receives the letter from the mailman. Before this event, even if you ring the bell in the laundry pool and coax him out, he'll run back inside when you approach him.
Edit:
Pop the bubbles with an arrow, then use the Great Fairy mask to lure them over to you.

Anyone else's camera kinda freak out on them when you first start moving the C-Stick on a New 3DS XL?
If I'm just running around normally for a little while and then go to move the camera to the left or right around a corner, I find that the game camera spazzes out for a fraction of a second before everything is perfectly fine. It's fine after that and I can look all around without any issue, and it's fine when the camera is doing its own thing and I use the L-Shoulder to center, but it seems like sometimes the transition between those two is a little jerky for a tiny moment.
It's not a big deal or anything, it's just a little quirk I've noticed. I haven't tried any other c-stick compatible games yet to test if it's my hardware (I think I only own Resident Evil Revelations which I heard can use it).

You just do.
Oh, you know I think Im trying to use the fire bow. That would explain it.

As long as you remembered where the bubble was, you'd still be able to hit it anyway.

For those that have both the old 3DS XL and the New 3DS XL, how much difference does using nub make for Majora's Mask? Is it a better experience is basically what I'm asking?
I'm receiving my copy this week (never played Majora's Mask before btw; only console Zelda I've never played), but I'm deciding if I should hold off on playing until I get my New 3DS XL within the next couple of weeks if it makes the experience better.

The games camera is so good I forget I have the nub but I'm only. 1 dungeon in.
It's the stable 3d that changes everything. You play so much more comfortable now.

I jumped on the N3ds hype train on Friday. Honestly you don't need the nub to work the camera any better than the other options the game gives you. It is just an added feature.
Still go get a N3ds!!!
