My Zelda OoT 3D has arrived today.
I can't believe I'm going to repeat my initial reaction to this game after it being 13 years since I first played it.
fffffFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuu
Colour me pleasantly surprised, it only took 5 minutes, but the 3D has impressed me in this title, granted I'm not completely sold on 3D as a whole, because the cons of it hurting my head is still there (lowering the 3D slider allieviates the issue, but doesn't get rid of it unless it's switched off), but the 3D has added onto an already excellent master piece and the graphics in general have a noticeable imprivement to. I Also nearly flipped my shit, when I discovered you can look around while targeting with the motion controls and to think i haven't even got to a part where I switch items using the touchscreen yet.
It's almost a shame, that my first impressions on my first 3DS game on my 3DS is a N64 port, but it also has me looking forward to games built from the ground up on this system.

Question:
Seeing how this is a portable game now, how does the save functionality work? I know you could save from the menu on the N64 game, but if you turned it off and on, you started either in your house in Kokiri Village, or in the Temple of Time (or if you were in a dungeon, you start at the dungeon's entrance.) Is it still the same? I'd like to be able to save my state and come right back to where I was.

Why would you do that?

My Scarecrow Song is the end of the Prelude of Light, repeated: A Y X A A Y X A
The new Ocarina button layout is alright, but I'm just a tiny bit sad the Bolero of Fire is now awkward to play instead of being fun.

The ocarina is horrible, part of it being that I've grown too used to the N64 controller, even then it translated well onto the gamecube.
The 3D has me freaking out at times, shit keeps flying into my face, like leaves and Navi's trail :lol, it's easier on the eyes when I'm looking at the screen at a certain angle, I could see that getting annoying if I want to maximise the 3D for something like Mario where my hands will move all the time.
Oh navi how missed yo- SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Did she get more annoying in this or something, don't remember her shouting "HEY!" as often as she is. :|

Even with that, I still think she got overall less annoying because the speed of the text was increased. She still annoys me in the Forest Temple though: "HEY! This corridor is twisted!"...seconds later..."HEY! Watch out for shadows on the floor" GraaarrrgghhhhBisnic said:

Yeah, the text speed I noticed really soon. It made the half hour long scene of becoming an adult take like 5 minutes. It almost felt less epic.
Almost.
Almost.

How long is standby supposed to last? I thought I had between 1/2 and 3/4 charge 2 days ago when I put it in sleep mode and turned it on this morning to find the battery completely dead. It just blinked red like twice when I tried to turn on and that was it and after charging it didn't let me resume it just booted from main screen. Is standby that short?

this game needs a room full of redeads like 10+ of them in one room lulz 
Maybe Master's Quest

So, I just had my ass handed to me by one of those big ugly jelly bastards that nick your equipment. I jumped on a ledge, had my red tunic stolen and the impact with the enemy knocked me off the ledge into an abyss. I returned in the room with a green tunic, and killing the guilty enemy did not produce my red tunic, cos I had fallen. I'm in Ganon's Castle. Do I have to go all the way back to Goron City to buy another tunic?

It looks like a piece of broken glass. At first I thought "wtf, 3DS has rumble?" but then I saw the flashing icon...

I bought this day 1 when it came out for n64. Gold cartridge edition
It was and still is my favorite zelda game. I'm curious how it holds up now after 13 years.
My step son is 12 years old. he's not really into RPG's but i think this game where it's more action orientated he might get into.
Either way i'll buy it for myself. It's funny someone mentioned weird playing it with a smooth framerate etc.
A game that was near perfect back in the day improved! I'm sure it holds up today.
Anyone that hasn't played this game and owns a 3ds or enjoys zeldas.. Do yourself a favor and buy and play through his masterpiece!

Zelda is an action-adventure game with RPG elements.

Standby lasts about a day at full charge when unplugged, depending on how much wireless communication is going on. If you want it to last longer, turn off wireless (the switch on the right side).Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
Edit - now that I think about it, the game seems to disable wireless communication already, so no need to disable it yourself for longer battery life
I finished the boss rush mode on normal mode just now and the Gauntlet rush was pretty difficult. Unlike the individual fights which refresh your health, items, and other things, the Gauntlet mode starts you out with 5 hearts and that's all you got until the very end.
They do give you an assortment of tools for most bosses, but if you take damage during one fight your health carries to the next one. The cool thing though is that there are two treasure chests that spawn at the end of each boss battle. I believe the items are randomly generated and I was getting THE WORST luck. Two bosses in a row I got deku nuts, completely useless in boss battle. I was down to 2 hearts fighting the Shadow Temple boss and I no damaged him (well, I had to I guess) and to my surprise the chest I opened was a full heart container!!! I had 6 full hearts for the Spirit Temple boss and it was in the bag at that point.
I can't imagine what the Gauntlet mode is like on Master Quest. I'm sure it's going to be a mighty challenge.

Seems about the same as the original to me. The Kokiri kids still pop in way later than their fairies for sure.PooBone said:

Ya so after finally beating the water temple for the first time (it took 12 years but I had my revenge!) I hurriedly rushed back to Zora's Domain hoping to talk to all my old swimming buddies once again and
Plus Mr. Big Fat Annoying Royal Zora just repeats the same dialogue as before I did the temple.
What's happening?
Also Ruto was supposed to "show me the way" in the water temple then just disappeared. Glitch?
it's still frozen!

That was the original design. Link is too late to really save the day.Jo Shishido's Cheeks said:
