Wow, I never knew that. As someone suffering from a bit of Zelda Fatigue from the past few games I'd actually really be interested to see how something like that would shake the formula up.Kard8p3 said:

I bought a 3ds for this game today. Played through the first couple of dungeons. At first I was really concerned because the 3d was really straining my eyes no matter what setting I had, but after a dungeon or so my eyes adjusted. Anyone else have this happen to them?
It really makes me feel older playing this on a handheld. 13 years ago is exactly half my life.
Also, I'm probably pre-ordering Starfox now b/c of this. Game looks really, really nice.
Has Nintendo said NO to DLC? I mean... What if we were allowed to beat the running man? Or play the CHICKEN dungeon? Or heavily integrated the lens of truth to uncover 100 new skulltulas/weapons?
Those a rudimentary ideas but MAN I would flip.

I find that playing on the 3DS really just takes a little "breaking in." When I first got it I occasionally had to struggle to "lock on" with my vision and see it, because we are really used to focusing on the flat point of the screen. But the thing that has helped me with this is kind of getting used to relaxing my eyes and then focusing on something Beyond the screen to get my lock, just how you look at things in real life. GOTTA LOOK ON THROUGH, into that magic portal.

They haven't said much about anything in the way of DLC as far as the 3DS goes. All we know is that it's possible. Actually, there already was a game that had DLC.I Push Fat Kids said:

I receive DLC on Dead or Alive every day, and Pokedex users are also getting stuff unlocked via SpotPass. It is definitely possible and being done, though whether that will eventually mean through the store/for cost is up for debate.
Either way, probably not gonna happen for OoT.

I just beat the first boss. Even the battles are fast...
Those Deku Babas, the ones that attack you on the first floor of the first dungeon? In the old game, if you hit them once, they're guaranteed to attack you, but in OoT 3D, you attack so quickly that you can easily get two hits in without it attacking you.
It's sort of refreshing that it's so fast, but at the same time, it feels a lot easier. Can't wait until Master Quest now!

So uh, first Zelda game and all, and am kinda blown away. Everything is just so polished, from the 3D to the way you slash with your sword. Love exploring a bit too. I'm inside the
currently, yea not very far but I'm loving it. Btw do you guys use your thumbs for the touchscreen or do you have the stylus at the ready. I've been using my thumbs a lot for that.

This is your first Zelda game ever??? That's fuckin awesome man. This was my first Zelda when it first came out, and was so immersed in the whole experience. Now you know why so many people regard the Legend of Zelda franchise as one of the best. You know what to do next... hunt down the other Zelda games.Branson said:

BTW does the 3ds version fix the glitches in the game before, like Infinite sword glitch and glitches to get past certain closed off areas?

Ive been using my thumbs. I cant imagine having to use the stylus, as I imagine later on the inventory will just get more full. Fights so far have been intense too that I just dont have time to fiddle with the stylus and then quickly pressing a button to attack or dodge, etc. Honestly, it must have been extremely difficult to manage or even near impossible on a console to manage inventory and select stuff.

I'm not sure, but I will say the glitch of jumping off the castle town gate chain and falling through the ground is still in it. I mean, I understand how it is, but I'm surprised they didn't add in a collision box to stop it.

Picked this up this morning, and of course I love it. It is freaking Ocarina of Time. I am REALLY glad I went in and preordered a few days ago because Gamestop was actually 2 short on preorders and I saw no copies when I went to Wal-Mart later in the day.

I think that graphic style would look INSANE in 3D.. But I'll take whatever I can get.
Yea, I mean, the games just kind of passed me by because of my gaming tastes at the time. I never owned an N64, was into different games when I had an NES and SNES. Now that I've grown and my tastes have widened I figured this would have been the perfect time to jump in finally owning a Nintendo platform after not having a Wii or N64. Also coming back to the Gyro controls they are pretty great and immersive, definitely one of the best implementations I have felt in a while.

Protip on using the touch screen for simply tapping stuff: just tap with a finger nail. You don't have to push hard and worry about scratching it. It's very sensitive.
I'm right handed and when I have to tap something, I actually just let go of the right side of the 3DS for a moment and tap a selection with my fingers curled and pinkie finger extended. The pinkie nail stylus.
It may sound dumb to some, but I figured this out years ago with the DS and hardly ever end up pulling out the stylus for games that just want menu or object selection on the touch screen.

I'm kind of jealous of the people playing this for the first time. This was my first Zelda game back when it was released and it blew my 10 year old mind. I can't wait for my copy to arrive though, haven't played the game since right before Wind Waker was released.
