Finished Great Bay Temple a few hours ago. I'm not a fan of Gyorg's second phase change, it's kind of RNG based
. Just makes for a really annoying fight rather than it being fun.
Next time I play I'm going to attempt to do the hardest sidequest... Imma coming Anjuuuu.
because it relies on where Gyorg goes and where the mines are relative to him and you can't always have a mine right where he is...

So, wait, the OT says you can save Pictograph pictures to your 3DS, but I haven't been able to find a way to do that at all. Is that actually a feature?
I also just finished it and wasn't a fan of it. I found it basically necessary to stand on the ground and run around instead of swimming so I could line up mines easily.
Also going through the dungeon made me realize you spend the majority of the time walking underwater instead of swimming anyway, but I feel like most of my posts harp on this bad mechanic change so I'll try to stop.

You can't be serious. Removal of error messages (which say nothing but "ERROR!****") is a negative somehow? Or improved stability? Those are seriously making the game worse to you, to the point where you thought it sounded like there's a hired saboteur on the patch team?
I just...don't know what to say. That was a mind-numbingly bizarre thing to read.
I think he meant the honey and darling fix since it was something for the fierce deity mask anywhere.

He said "pure negative", meaning every single change of the three listed.
Plus, there's still the hot spring water method of going FD, so no harm no foul. (Unless of course they fixed that too.)
I don't know if I'll call it the hardest, but I do think it's probably the most time consuming one.
It looks like that would almost always be triggered very intentionally. I don't understand this idea that, as an end user, seeing a glitch is a bad thing. It erases my save? Sure, that needs to go. It soft locks the game? Eh, that's temporary, I feel like it depends entirely on how commonly it can occur to users who don't want it.
I would say that what's in the video looks like something fun to try and do, not like any sort of problem. From what I've read, the ability to use Fierce Diety mask anywhere is also removed here (and from the video, it looks like that cool screwed up time/color thing would be gone too).
Pretend edit:
Ok, I Googled the actual steps, and you do have a point. Not with anything you mentioned, but apparently it can cause you to permanently lose (a?) mask(s?), so that's kinda scary:
Still, the steps sound too deliberate to be worth removing fun aspects of the game:
Actual edit:
You're right, that's my bad for not writing more carefully. For the stability stuff, I just don't expect much to come of it. It's the stock update change they always list. But it could be something significant, yeah.
Also, wait, that's not part of the same thing? Sorry, I probably should stop jumping to conclusions. Lol, now I feel dumb. Yeah, no worries though, and thanks for the links.

You might be surprised. People do some weird stuff with their games sometimes, whether accidentally or intentionally. Some players have already found ways to ruin their save files through experimentation, so it's generally much better that these glitches get taken out.
The swimming changes really make the fight harder than it is, too. The old Gyorg second phase was perfectly fine (and in fact you can still damage him the same way, just that he moves so fast and he doesn't stay still for long).
That second phase change is probably my second thing I don't like about this remaster (the first being the swimming changes).
Haha, yeah, that is pretty true. And wow at the video. I don't think I can disagree much any more. Thanks for taking the time to educate me even though I was being obnoxious.

I remember back when I played Majora's Mask back on the GameCube like 10 years ago, I was in North Clock Town and some lady got her purse or something stolen.
Does this actually happen or am I remembering things wrong, because I'm in Deku Palace and I know I didn't get that far back then >.>

Yep it does
Around 10pm or so on the first day. Sakon the thief steals the bomb bag from the lady from the bomb shop. Stop him and you get the bomb mask....and other things change too.
You didn't imagine it, it just happens at a specific time.

Better ventilation. It also doesn't have a window.
Much worse is: it's the only toilet in all of Clocktown.
And there's a pervert inside of it D:

Somebody care to remind me how the original Goht fight differed from here?
Giant eyeball.
Yeah, I did that immediately.

But does the giant eyeball just replace, say, hitting his face after you downed him from hitting him as a spiked Goron? I don't remember. I just beat him and I knocked him down from catching up to him and and running into him, he'd then fall and then I would fire arrow the eyeball. Does the eyeball present a totally different way to take on the boss fight that I didn't consider? Because of what I can remember this battle went pretty similarly to when I did it on the N64.
Nah, it's pretty similar otherwise. I don't think it's appreciably different. Giant eyeball is the only difference I noticed.

Something about the second spider house hits the right spot for me, plus any excuse for the captains hat, I chopped a stalchild's head off and it still chatted to me about its mask related findings, what a trooper.
The second spider house is one of my favourite spots in the game. It has a really nice theme, atmosphere and feels real because of the stalchildren exploring it.

Glad to see someone else who likes the new swimming! It feels much better and more smooth than the original game, I like it. The added challenge of having to keep your magic bar up is nice as well.
I can't manage to

, already tried a few different things but didn't really bother, I'm just doing some other sidequests at the moment. Can anyone help me out on this? ^^
get the 7th bottle, the extra one added to this remaster

Not true, I had Inverted Song of Time active and it allowed me to do it.

So I picked this up the other day, and pre-ordered Codename S.T.E.A.M. at the same time. This is my first time playing Majora's Mask, and man, is it something... It's been a few cycles already, but I still haven't made it to the Woodfall Temple yet though, because I've been too busy just doing sidequests and wandering aimlessly around Clock Town. As for how I feel about that? Well, I'm going to need some more time to think and type up a fuller post about that... the least I can say so far (I guess) is that it certainly has been thought-provoking...
Yeah, the beaver race is super easy now because you don't need to boost. Just swim slowly through the rings and ignore the beaver. I did this and only boosted on the long straights and had about 20 seconds to spare in the last race. Sure it was more fun to fast swim all the time in the original, but the slow swim is definitely much more accurate.

I wanted to wait until my CPP got here to start playing, and it just arrived! And now...I need to charge my 3DS. Shouldn't have left it on standby for days.
I wanted the CPP because of the camera and because I wanted to make holding and using the XL more comfortable, but aside from the shoulder buttons it hasn't had as much of an impact as I'd hoped. As much as I could logically expect from something that isn't a controller style grip, though.

You can do the swamp spider house right after the first dungeon. I did it well before Snowhead.
For inverted time, play the Song of Time backwards (R, L, Y, R, L, Y)
For double time, play each note of the Song of Time twice (Y, Y, L, L, R, R)
Oh? Good to know. Then IGN's guide is wrong, it said the Hookshot was needed.

I thought you needed it too ? Some tokens would be hard to get without it
Anyway hookshot makes it less of a chore if you want to wait for it, and the reward is not too exciting
