No they didn't. Many were removed, and new ones have popped up. Its cool though, I like this stuff and normal playthrough would never come across it so its not a big deal.

Majora's Mask 3D |OT| Remakes are a Nice Thing to Have Heh, heh
- Thread starter Kriken
- Start date
Well, its an enhanced port. Its still based on the N64 code. Just like in OOT3D, some glitches will remain.
Funny how this one stayed.
And yes, it is based on the N64 base code. Its an enhanced port, not a ground up remake.
Would definitely be a good job if intentional. Being restricted to boss fights isn't cool. (I'm aware that it existed before; removing good glitches should also never be the aim of a remake. All (single-player) glitches are good if they don't delete data/prevent progress and are hard to trigger by accident.)
I've never gotten it though, so I don't know if the restriction is for the greater good or what.

Ah, well I remember there being a Fierce Deity Link anywhere glitch in the original.

how do you get the fishing license?
I don't believe there is one, just free fishing passes. You can get them from the various minigames.
There is.
Goron Link is roughly the size of adult Link though. If you can't walk through a doorway or something, you could always just take the mask off.
I mean, there's no real use for it. But I'm also not sure why I can't just put it on and run around Termina field killing stuff with it. Pointless? Sure.

I'm still at the very start of this game, the second 3 day mission. What happens if you don't complete the goal before the 3 days is up? I'm terrified of having to do things over again.
EDIT: and the answer is in the OP...should have known
I can't beat all the dungeons in 3 days! How am I going to beat this game?
You don't need to beat this game in one cycle; all you have to do is play the Song of Time to save and restart the cycle. You can attempt unlimited cycles.

All of the known glitches that allowed you to
be Fierce Deity Link
Fierce Deity Link is also more limited in the 3DS version than he was in the N64 version, too--the game now freezes if you try to open a door as him, and he can't climb ladders anymore.
It's impossible to complete the entire game in 3 in-game days, there are multiple pseudo-checkpoints whenever you get something of note. Generally, everything you get stays with you between cycles so even if the world resets, you can skip getting that item again.

Yup. Even speed runs use 4 cycles. (For various reasons)
Haven't watched 'em, since I still kinda want to see what FD is like for myself. (Only ever seen the artwork, never played it.) I didn't expect it to be intentional, but didn't realize it was a totally different glitch. That's a shame he can't do stuff now.
It's impressive how solid Zelda games feel in a normal playthrough, vs how many glitches are available if you're looking/trying for them. Any other cool new stuff in MM 3D that's been discovered?
Damn, dude, that's fucking awful. I guess this solves the open it/don't open it debate, but that's seriously terrible. I'm sorry it happened to you.

Just use the zora animations. It's a flimsy excuse and at the point where you are even able to get the mask it's absolutely asinine that they still restrict it to boss rooms.

Yeah, just tried out Zora swimming.....why?.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
I can't find the

everywhere.
Unless you mean all 61 in one three day period, I've never done that
invisible guy in the pirate fortress
used the Eye of Truth
The Great Fairy Sword, more magic, more defense, Great Fairy Mask, bigger circle slash.
I felt the same. Then I went back to my N64 and tried out the original in Great Temple Bay earlier just for fun
Uh...I prefer the new swimming really. The only negative point is that swimming outdoors in great bay itself is now nowhere near as fun. But hey, the majority of the time you spend as Zora Link is in dungeons. And now you don't smash into walls repeatedly.
he is in the main courtyard, right in the middle, underneath the central wooden tower.

Does anyone know if Amazon is going to get the guide book back in stock or was it a limited pressing?
I think I'm done with the game now. I've got everything except catch every fish. I might go back to do that but I feel satisfied with everything else.
Overall it's a pretty good remake. The aesthetic changes are improvements pretty much all around with a few exceptions but I don't feel comfortable with some of the design changes. I'm sure there are many subtle ones I simply glossed over since I'm not intimately familiar with MM as I am with OoT but I still don't really like the bigger changes. The bomber's notebook was not as intrusive as I thought it might be but things like the Zora swimming change and saving at statues still feels off. I actually never used the song of double time in my playthrough so I forgot to check out how that affected things. I know at the very least if I had simply skipped ahead I would missed something that I had never seen before which was
That probably sounds negative but this release is still probably the most ideal way to play the game. The framerate alone makes the game way better.

Ign have done a pretty nifty guide on finding the fairies if anyone is struggling.

I knew it was worth me still gossiping to all stones with the mask of truth, I wasn't expecting to hear anything I didn't already know but I'd have missed the Stone mask otherwise.
Oh that's what Tatl meant when she said she heard something in the fortress, I was too busy making a beeline to the central ladder, returned with my overpriced red potion (up yours Zora shop price hike) during the last few hours.
While Majora's Mask is a sequel to Ocarina of Time, you can safely play the game without finishing Ocarina of Time.
The connection pretty much only stops at the beginning of the game.

Do you have the map and compass? You can see where chests are located. I've been playing OoT3D and didn't have any issue with the Water Temple, the new inventory system takes out all the frustration from the N64 version.
Nope, it's normal and was in the N64 version too.
I know some people mistaken it for a graphical glitch :lol
I'm surprised people have thought of it this way, it seemed completely obvious it was intentional; it exemplified the feeling of being trapped.
I find its a little too meta for Zelda. Adding in the viewers perspective through the use of technology is just a bit too odd. If people started moving faster or showed a real sense of panic or the environment started to become red or covered in shadow then I think it would feel more dooming. Otherwise it's just too strange...

Guys anyone playing this on the OG 3dsXL and I was wondering if you put it in the sleep mode..... or not. Mine doesn't seem to last that long with this game.. at most about 1 and half days.
Would the battery last longer if its not ingame.. I just play it here and there and I look over and the light is that red color. I had it for 2 years but I've barely used it this year or last.

Is there a reward for doing such a thing?

Just got the last mask and I'm only missing 4 more heart pieces which should be lying around somewhere since my notebook seems complete.
The only mask I couldn't figure out myself was
Time for the final battle I guess

the All-Night mask. I was sure I tried everything possible that had to do with the Curiosity Shop, but somehow I missed it and couldn't get it to turn up.

I feel like this game goes to some lengths to make you feel depressed and uncomfortable without ever making its characters break out of their independent lives, like if you're supposed to feel like an outsider who gets hardly any recognition for your efforts until the very last moments in the game. It's very emotionally straining tbh.

Currently in the water temple and ugh, I have the boss key and everything I'm just stuck on where to go next.
It definitely is more practical and I don't mind it at all, but yeah it just takes the fun out of swimming outdoors, they should've changed it but allowed the Zora swim to be used without magic.

oh yeah, the first five minutes had dips all over the friggen place :\
Ocarina 3D only really dropped during the same exact moments the N64 would (for me)
the first phase of the final fight with Ganon, before he destroys the castle. The explosion of his beam after the tennis bit is a frame rate killer
With 3D on the only time I've noticed an FPS dip so far was when I was destroying the three giant snowballs outside the stairs that led to the floor the boss room is on in Snowhead.

Wow. I was just about finished with the 3rd temple, and my game cart randomly decided to eject. My hands weren't anywhere near it! So now I have to redo the whole temple, and get all the stray fairies again (I had 13/15). I mean, it will be easier this time, but it is such a pain...
The system has always only lasted about a day in sleep mode. It has nothing to do with the game you have loaded.

Finally got to try the game today after my New 3DS XL arrived. I'm extremely impressed with it after only half an hour of playing it. Even the title screen sequence gave me goosebumps. Really phenomenal job for a remake.
Only real gripe is the same one I had with OoT... Not re-orchestrating the music is such a colossal missed opportunity. They could have included an option to switch it back to the original music if they wanted to, without much effort. It's really a shame they remastered everything else so well yet left the soundtrack as is.
Oh well. At least the original music has aged pretty well.

This game is dark. It is a type of dark that I can't really describe outside of unsettling.
When it came out 15 years ago I recall it being slightly depressing but when I played it this time it really hit me hard.
It looks like the game is sometimes dying if you goron roll close to the camera.
