It's pretty annoying that in the Spirit Temple (Master Quest version)
Ugh...
after you return to the Temple as Adult Link, you activate a rusted switch using the Hammer, then you need to go back AGAIN as a child to get to the chest containing a key the switch gives you, then you go back once more as Adult. They make you do the whole Child-Adult thing TWICE just for ONE key.
Ugh...

Guides? I must have 100%'ed OoT at least 10 times during the N64 years.
I have the game practically memorized, though I admit that my memories were fogged up just enough to make this particular run much less efficient than my prime N64 runs back when I was much younger.
Just checked my activity log:
Play time: 37:00 (exactly!)
Time played: 12
Avg. play time: 3:05
First played: 6/17/2011 (street-date breaking mom 'n pop shops ftw)
Last played: 6/26/2011
Pretty sure that on the N64, my fastest 100% runs were around the 20 hour mark.
Also, it bears mentioning that I played through most of this while distracted, so I had plenty of 'dead spots' where the game was running but I wasn't really doing anything as I watched a movie, ate a meal, or whatever.

I know MM on VC isn't plagued with the technical problems of the GCN re-release.Phatcorns said:
So, I gotta say this game oozes with SO MUCH charm, it's unbelievable. My first time playing through the game. I havent used any guides so far so fingers crossed. I've become
. Next up, my first temple. I really hope that the master quest is actually fresh and a totally different experience. Also, is it possible for me to get the horse yet?
adult link and just got the hookshot

Yes, as long as you
learned Epona's song as a kid
I forgot how good this damn game is. I played it when it came out in 1998, and I tried playing the Master Quest on GameCube but stopped at Jabu Jabu. I just finished the Forest Temple this afternoon. The 3D is really crazy impressive. I keep it around 60-70% (I crank it to 100% for cut-scenes) and the game just looks stunning.
I've basically forgotten almost everything about this game, so I'm basically going through it blind. I remember general stuff, like where to find items and such, but as far as the dungeons, I don't remember anything. I just did the Forest Temple and it was basically a new dungeon to me. I remembered the final battle and the
twisted hall-ways

I'm pretty sure that's new. Nintendo has been on a kick about not playing for overly long amounts of time for a few years now. Every since the Wii, I think. There are always warnings and messages and stuff that start popping up after you've been playing for a few hours reminding you to take a break.
I think they are trying to cover their asses legally in case somebody sues for some stupid insane reason like their Wii gave them tendon damage or their 3DS made them blind or some other stupid shit. They can pull up the play records and say "well you played it for 12 hours straight. We warned you like 30 times in that one session not to play for so long, so shut the fuck up and pay our legal fees for this bullshit suit."

The most surprising them about this game to me is how insanely good the gyro-view stuff works. I used to have so much trouble with that stupid shooting gallery in Kakariko village. I nailed it almost instantly in this play-through because of the gyro-controls. As others have said, it's difficult to be pin-point accurate with the circle pad. It's great for just looking around, but when you need to fine-tune your aim it can be tricky (especially with small or fast-moving targets). But the gyro-controls work perfect. When I need to aim at something I find myself using the circle pad to get the aim generally where I want it and then, if necessary, moving the 3DS a tad to get my aim perfect. I thought this was going to be a throw-away feature but it turns out to be one of my favorite little additions to the game.

When you say different, how different is that? Are the rooms different? Harder enemies? Different puzzles? If so, I sure as hell am playing through it again on Master quest. And yes, I did speak to the girl in the ranch as a kid but IIRC nothing of importance happened. The mean guy was inside the barn place and the girl outside with the young horse. I guess I should go back and check again.

I'd just like to point out a bit from this interview:
http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/04/shigesato-itoi-discusses-mother-4/
Of course, before Earthbound, this had never happened as far as I know, and I thought it was pretty funny.
But now it's in every game and not as a joke, but it makes this quote pretty hilarious.

The layout of the rooms are the same, but the puzzles are completely different. Based on what I done in MQ so far, you don't even progress through the dungeon in the same order as before. And some of it is just pure dickery. Things like going into a room that locks, fighting a bunch of enemies, and only getting a blue rupee as the reward. It's annoying as hell, but I find myself laughing at the same time.
The enemies are the same as before, but they deal double damage, which sucks in early stages. I walked into a gold skultula once in the Duke Tree and almost died. What's mostly different is that enemies may not be in the same location. It's quite often that a room is filled with way more baddies than before, or sometimes they may just be something totally different.
Overall, I'm having a blast with MQ. The dungeons are quite challenging (though I keep reading that the Water Temple is easier). They might as well be brand new dungeons in my opinion. And everything being mirrored just adds to the mindfuck.

I just beat the water temple and I'm blown away that this is considered one of the most difficult Zelda dungeons. Seems pretty damn straight-forward to me. I heard the colored lines signifying which doors lead to the signs that affect the water level are new, and I suppose that helped a bit, but I really don't see how turns a pretty breezy dungeon into an infamously difficult level.
I can't imagine having to go through it pausing every time you need to switch boots. It's pretty amazing that the game shipped without someone intervening and making the boots a C-button item.
I guess I'm doing the Shadow Temple now. I went to the village and saw the cutscene where

I guess I'm doing the Shadow Temple now. I went to the village and saw the cutscene where
Sheik gets thrown around by that shadow thing. I never played the game much as a kid, but I had friends who beat it and had a Tips N Tricks or some other similar magazine with a walkthrough, so I vaguely remember that I have to turn back into a kid and go to the bottom of the well. It's kind of odd though, the game really doesn't seem to explain at all that that's what you're supposed to do. In fact, so far as I know the game doesn't even tell you that it's possible to turn back into a kid. Randomly going back to the Temple of Time and then going to the bottom of the well seems like much harder a "puzzle" than anything in the Water Temple, if I didn't already know what to do I'm pretty sure I'd just assume that I was supposed to find a new item or something to break through the wall.

Master Quest completely rearranges puzzles and enemies. The puzzles are all new and some require clever use of game mechanics in order to solve them. The only things that remain the same are the bosses, special weapon, and the general layout of the dungeons (but everything is mirrored).shahkur said:

Was super annoying and completely broke
Up the flow of the dungeon. I had very little trouble finishing this time. However there are certain rooms that were a lot easier.
For example: the room with the two dragon heads and the whirlpool was Really annoying in the original game. In the remake it was no trouble at all.

I'm really enjoying working my way through this game.
The reworked graphics and the 3D really shine.
This should really open the door for other remastered titles. (laughs)
