That's really cool! I'm curious to see other easter eggs.BY2K said:

Nope. Certainly not this year. The software line-up approaching the end of the year is pretty strong, and the thing will sell well enough over the holiday season anyway.
I'm kinda in the same boat. I want some OOT, but the 3DS is a bit fugly and quite a bit too expensive right now.
And the black 3DS was £20 cheaper this time last week anyway. Grrrr.

I just hate that Nintendo of Scandinavia can't have a Club Nintendo service. I would really have loved to get that cd. Nice OT though, it is either this game or Mercenaries I will be getting this month. Can't wait to play it again.
Well to quote NOE:kanugo said:
"Club Nintendo Members who register their copy of the game will have the chance to get their hands on an exclusive THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME 3D SOUNDTRACK CD, featuring a slew of great tracks from the game score. But, if you want to get your hands on one, you'll have to register the game by the 30th of June 2011!"
It seems you just have to register before 30th of June.

If that's all it is, that is great news. The way they originally announced it with the limited quantity made my hair stand on end.solarus said:
This game looks incredible. It's going to suck waiting for 3DS lite before playing, but I learned my lesson after last time...
It made me chuckle how everyone seems to get awesome stuff preordering and then north america gets a poster. Oh well, soundtrack!

That's what I'm worried about too, I don't know who to place my order with here in the UK. Amazon and Play are the cheapest but they don't ship till release day so no way I'm I ordering from them. Anyone have experience using Game.co.uk do they ship before release or on release day?
Edit: Think I'll go with Shopto as they have it at the same price and they usually get my games to me a day early.

Same here. I know I'm going to get one eventually, so...
Randomizer said:
I've used them a lot and they always ship ahead of the release date. My games always arrive on the Thursday but some people get them on Fridays. My personal experience with them is great and I always use the free first class option.
How many of us are just going to sit and watch the video below and just take a moment to let it sink in.

I was excited about MGS3, but after reading 1up's preview of it, I'm not sure. They're saying that MGS3 is looking like a inferior port from the PS2 game with framerate problems.syoaran said:
I know it isn't finished but it's not looking good.
But IGN is raving about Resident Evil Revelations. I'm very excited for that!

I have to admit I wasn't sold on this until I played the 3DS today. Wow. I wasn't a believer at first, but I have seen the light. Such an amazing little system capable of some incredible things. The 3D really does add a lot of depth, which should make this game worth playing through again.

Awesome OP!
NoA/C's preorder bonus is lacklustre compared to the others. It's like they don't even care/don't want to try anymore. They're almost as bad as Konami--continuously breaking my heart.
Very excited for the game, and I want that soundtrack badly. I can't believe it's going to be out very soon. I recently played OoT during the Christmas break, so it'll be a treat to see how it looks in its remastered version.

So it's being called Master Quest, but the Master Quest in this game is not the same as it was on the Gamecube, right? With the rearranged dungeons, differently placed items, etc.?

Master Quest in this game is Master Quest from the GCN disc but mirrored (and yeah, I think enemies do more damage too).

Didn't realize there was an OT now, so here's the info from the other thread:
Some new information from my friend Patricia (who has translated materials for me in the past)
It's highly possible you may have noticed this already, but while watching this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1Q85OrARH0) of OoT 3DS, I saw some Hylian text that differs from that in the original N64 version.
Many people say that all the Hylian text in OoT is just gibberish and that the syllabary up in Omniglot (http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hylian.htm) was all made up by fans based on subjective observations, but I think the text in the 3DS version will prove otherwise, and here are three examples:
1) The potion shop in the Marketplace "HAIRIA kusuriya (Hylia / kusuriya)," that means, "Hylian pharmacy."
2) The King's tomb in the Kakariko Graveyard (Unfortunately, I can make out just the first line, the second one and the text in the block on the ground are not very clear.) "HAIRARU ouke　tamashii nemuru (Hyrule / Royal Family / soul / sleep)," which could roughly be translated to "The souls of the Royal Family of Hyrule rest here."
3) The text in the Temple of Time, where you put the Kokiri Emerald, the Goron Ruby, and the Zora Sapphire "OKARINA tobira hiraku MASUTA- SO-DO (ocarina / door / open / master /
sword)," that in a somewhat broken Japanese could mean, "The ocarina opens the door to the Master Sword."
And below that, "toki no yuusha kourin (time / possessive particle /hero / advent)," which could be translated to, "The advent of the hero of time."
The text of course doesn't have spaces between words (just like regular Japanese), but in some cases there's a space between small linguistic units (ocarina opendoor mastersword). Also, the syllabary has no marks for changing "h" to "b" (it says "tohira", not "tobira") nor the elongation dash (it says, "masutasodo"), but if I can understand the text the way it is, it must be a lot easier for a native Japanese speaker to do so.
I bet there are more examples in the game (I was able to make out the word "bowling" in the lower line of the text in the Bombchuu Bowling Alley building), and discovering them all will be something else to look forward to, or at least for me, heh.
It's a shame this Hylian text feature gets lost in localization, but it's nice to see Nintendo pays attention to such small details. Hopefully, the Internet may prevent the Hylian text in OoT 3DS from going unnoticed by non-Japanese speaking fans.

How different is the Master Quest? I'm wondering if that's the way to play this one. 3D and redone graphics are cool, but I've beating OoT so many times that I'm more interested in Master Quest than the game proper. I never played it on GameCube but I had a friend who had it and he said that the dungeons didn't flow as well, that they felt more like a series of independent puzzles than a dungeon that you're learning your way around. Thoughts?

A fanhack that is loved by Nintendo apparently.

Now that I think about it, there's something that bothered me about OoT and Zelda in general. The random text speed. Sometimes you blaze through it, other times it's painfully slow. A notable example that I recall was
Was that fixed?
in the Gerudo Fortress, you had to rescue 4 carpenters. The first one basically states that gaurds blah blah blah, and then H-E-R-E T-H-E-Y-A-R-E, letter for letter in an agonizingly slow speed. The worst part is that if you fail to rescue him, he'll say the same thing in the same speed. If you rescue him, the other three says the same damn thing in the same damn speed.
Was that fixed?

Haha, yeah, I remember him mentioning something about the cow switches. Is like a fan hack just in that it's not new dungeons, or are the quality/ cleverness of the puzzles also noticeably lacking compared to the actual game?KarmaCow said:
Kirbyguy, that's not a glitch or oversight or anything that needs to be "fixed." Since the game doesn't have voice acting, the developers played around with text speed to convey emotion. Something said faster might be said frantically, something said slower might be whispered or yelled. It's not great since it might not always be clear what they were going for and obviously some people are just annoyed by it, but it's like that for a reason.

I just hooked up my N64 and loaded up my old Zelda OOT save. Through S-video. Wow. The controls still hold up, but the graphics really don't. The remake looks so much better. I remember playing that save on and on just finding the scarecrows which didn't even give you anything. I never did find one quarter heart. I think it was one from the race at the cemetery and you could only get it during a certain window of time during the game when you had the bunny ears. I'm making it a point to get all the hearts this time.

Why does the US get the worst preorder bonus.
