shouldnt be a problem at most retails. if you are GCU for best buy, its 31+ tax and free store pick up.
I figured this is how everyone played it?
To each their own. I'm the type that quick saves every time I enter a new area.
Huh? I wonder what the hold up with them is.

Yeah this is another thing I wish people would stop peddling as "the" way to play the game. It's "a" way, sure. But you don't always need to give yourself a slowed down three days to complete every task. Hell, it almost defeats the point that way. Everyone should just come up with whatever system naturally makes sense to them as they figure the game out.

I don't know how much it affects loading times, but on the N3DS you can use the second stick for full 360 camera control.
Yep.
Link travels through the Lost Woods and ends up in Termina somehow. Parallel dimension, because of all the residents from OoT having an alternate other in MM
If you're into that kind of stuff MM has a bunch of interesting fan-theories about Termina and whatnot.
Excluding the incredibly stupid Link is dead bullshit, because he isn't,

I personally like doing the dungeons all in one go as it makes
gathering all the stray fairies much less of a chore.

Is the OT title a joke or reference I'm not getting? I'm assuming it's a happy masked salesman quote that I'm just forgetting.

I believe it's referencing
what one of the moon children says to you at the end of the game.

I wonder if this will have a new orchestral song that plays during the credits like OoT 3D did. I'm still bummed that Kondo was such a stickler and put the kibosh on fully redone soundtracks.

I think it's better this way. I still think the old music holds up, and then at the end when you hear a new piece it's a nice surprise. (I don't know if Majora does this but I loved it in Ocarina)

I suppose you're right, it does hold up pretty well. I'm just a sucker for Nintendo's more recent soundtrack efforts and would have liked that kind of polish....oh welllllll. Game still looks great!
Oddly, no. Not at all. Just tested it as I've been playing exclusively in 3D...and nope, that feature from OOT3D is gone. Its just as jaggy in either mode.
Just in case anyone cares, here's a photo I took of the back of the MM box:
Lots of N3DS mentions. Not sure why they had to list both the N3DS regular and the XL in compatible models, but I guess some consumers really are that dumb.
Also, that N3DS Exclusive Features box is a cool addition for future games...but uh, I can't help but feel that its lying here. The N3DS acts as a Circle Pad Pro as part of its features...and that's what MM3D is detecting it as. It doesn't acknowledge or care that its a N3DS! I would struggle to say camera control is a N3DS exclusive feature...

To be fair this game looks better than OOT3D on the whole.
Yeah. Playing it on my N3DS XL, I can safely say its the best looking 3DS game I've ever played. And yes, that means better than Revelations (although that's still technically stunning).
Although the image quality goes hilariously shit at the end of each day when the image shrinks. On the N64 it got jaggy as the image shrunk, on the 3DS it goes all blurry and super low res.

Agree. I think they should be links, but a list of the masks and where they are feels really over the top, especially when the first line is about treating this as if people have never played it.
I'm going to guess it will only reference the XL.
NOA aren't going to cause customer confusion by promoting a console that doesn't exist in that region. If they listed it, people may even assume that imported consoles work with their game.
Also, I agree about the OP. Its too much. A significant amount of it completely spoils the best parts of MM for a new player. Sorry to the guy who did it.
I think I read that (spoilers I guess?)
there is a new orchestral song at the end.
I can confirm that everything Rich says is true about this game. OOT3D just doesn't hold a candle to MM3D. The moment you turn the game on and watch the opening where the camera pans around finally showing the skull kid and moon, you realize that this is one hell of a beautiful remake. I beat the game yesterday and all I will say is that it is WELL worth a revisit. Time to do all those side quests I missed! 
OP has too much info on Masks and characters and such. The beauty of Majoras Mask is figuring it all out yourself. The new notebook and time warp even makes it easier than ever.
Also, first timers, don't listen to anyones advice on the proper way to play this. Just figure it out yourself and form your own strategy, it's rewarding to get stuff done on your own in this game.

Hey, at least the effect is still in the game. I still love seeing it even after fifteen years...
Do it in woodfall at least. Youre gonna want the double magic meter the woodfall fairy gives you.
Nope
Aw. Oh well.

About 29 hours (jp eShop) until I can play this, can't wait. I'll even buy the shitty golden menu theme ;//

Never played the game before. Having said that, I went through hell and high water to snag one of them gold n3DS XLs. Skipped the LE of the game since I have enough trinkets on my shelves. Pretty psyched for Friday.

It was 40% off last month in Japan for New owners. And completely free for Club Nintendo members who registered two 3DS games about a year earlier. They should have made a digital OoT3D + MM3D bundle for the West at least.
I think it also had a sale on the US eShop (my account is Canadian) a couple of months ago, but I didn't grab it then. Shame
THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT
This cannot be stressed enough. Apart from the first cycle before you get the ocarina, you are always in full control.

Termina is pretty lucky that it was the Hero of Time that turned up. Any other Link may have been unable to help in this situation.
Basically there's nothing within the world to save it, it requires a power from another world, the Ocarina of Time. So even if Termina had their own Link, what would he do?

Does that not count for the OP? Spoiling all masks and their locations in the OP seems a bit much.
Edit: Okay, this way it's much better.
I never played the original as my family was too poor to get a N64, so I'm happy that Nintendo has remade it. Like many others in this thread, I was freaked out by the three day cycle. I also thought of it as a time limit, but now I've settled into the game I get it and don't feel rushed at all. The sense of foreboding and claustrophobic tension really makes for a disturbing atmosphere which is great to experience in a Nintendo game. It's a game I can't really predict and that's a good thing.

There is no MM Master Quest to have. They'd have to have made one from scratch which clearly wasn't in the scope of this. They have instead put a lot of extra care into the game itself.
