I got my 3DS today and the circle pad feels a little stiff. Will it eventually break in and loosen up?

Hm. You know how you can release bugs and then quickly grab one up to retain bugs in the original version? I noticed that while you can do that when you're not at a mound of dirt, you can longer do that when you're at a mound of dirt. Kinda sucks, but oh well. Or am I just not quick enough?
Also, apparently I suck at fishing in this version, lol. I played OoT N64 version last December and I seemed fine with it then. I guess it's because I need to have a harder grip on the circle pad + I still need to get used to the new controls. My finger still keeps reaching for the Z-trigger. :lol
Otherwise, it's going pretty well. Again, I love the detail, and I like to put on the 3D during the cinematics. It's a nice way to relive the experience again. At Jabu-Jabu now.

Yep, mine was terrible when I bought my 3DS last week, it loosened up really nicely after a few hours playing and now it's as smooth as silk. I was panicking too when I first tried it, thought I had got a bad one.
The 3D is messed up sometimes. After beating the first boss, the heart piece you get is completely messed up. On the left eye, the heart piece is completely at the right side of the screen, and on the right eye, it's completely at the left side of the screen. There's no way I can cross my eyes that much.

Yeah, my circle pad felt a little stiff too. It looked like it was stuck a little more to the left. But I'm getting used to it now.
The gyroscope really makes the shooting mini-games really fun in this version. I remember when I used to play this they were a chore to the point where I'd skip playing them on many of my play-throughs. But with the gyroscope I'll continue playing even after winning the big item just for the sake of playing with those controls. My only gripes are that after 2-3 goes in a row the motion will start to get uncalibrated forcing me to play at an angle; with my only recourse being to back out of the mini-game and then start again.

I can't remember a single one of the songs with the new ocarina layout. There should be a legacy mode for people used to C-buttons.

The gyroscope aiming reminds me exactly of one of the Wii U demo games I played at E3 where you move the controller around to look at different areas.

For me, I know them by ear so in certain parts where they give you the staff it fucks me up because for the first few button presses I'm trying to figure out which buttons do which notes before I actually play the song.RomanticHeroX said:
Also, the analog nub control is shit when it comes to doing the bombchu bowling, holy fuck.
Teknoman said:Wow either my eyes went totally busted, or something is wrong with my copy of the game
Actually this just happened to me when I got the bottle of milk from Talon and it's definitely not your eyes. It's exactly what I was describing in an earlier post. The game sometimes randomly switches to a very 2D image. It doesn't happen often, mostly when the camera is in an akward position or certain spots, as long as your moving it never happens.
But what you saw was the first time I saw it so obvious. When Link was holding up the milk bottle at first it was perfect 3D image, then suddenly it's like each stereoscopic image started to shift and would go back and forth from 2D to 3D. It's very weird and I hope I didn't get a screwey copy of the game.

That's a relief. I'm glad I'm not the only the one that's noticed this. I was starting to get worried.
I just went into first-person view to look at the new flowers on Hyrule Field close-up, and it looks fucked-up to me in 3D. Looks fine in 2D. They're just the little scenery flowers on the field that Link can't interact with.
Speaking of that, it kinda annoys me that Nintendo added these little touches but that they are not at all interactive. I figured Link would at least push the little plants to the side, as happened in Wind Waker.

Welcome to the Legend^^
Man, I was one of those "Gyroscope controls are gimmicky" people, but hell, it's implemented so well, and besides using it to aim for stuff, when you free look with the camera, it's completely amazing and so much faster to use to look around. Really really wonderful job on those. I have to turn off the 3D for it, but that's the beauty of the system: I have choice.
Also the 3D is wonderful in this game, and this is the first time I feel really sold on the 3D as an absolute gameplay enhancer. I'm really looking forward to what other developers are going to bring to the system now, that's for sure.
Also Nintendo/Grezzo, you made me a believer in gyroscope controls. I can even use them accurately while laying down in my bed.

So glad you're enjoying it. Reading first timers' impressions in this thread are a major treat. Just wait until you get deeper into the game.Branson said:
In addition to Link's Awakening, you should try out A Link to the Past, Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker. Just sayin'. I hope you try out more of the series and enjoy what it has to offer.
Me too. I'd love to see the graphical enhancements they could make to that game (even if it was already detailed and felt "big" on the N64). I'd also love to take Majora's Mask everywhere I go, just because I love it so much.BY2K said:
Kevin said:I am enjoying my copy of the game so far (course I beat it back in 98). I hope this game sells well so Nintendo also remakes Majora's Mask for the 3DS as well.
It seems like the game is selling fairly well, at least from anecdotal experience. Went to my local GameStop first thing this morning right when they opened and the line was already quite long to get a copy of the game. The guy at the register also said they only had 3 copies of the game to sell that weren't already reserved. So based on that, I should hope this means the game is selling really well.

I went to one Target and they were sold out. The guy said the store only got one. Whether that was 1 copy or one box I don't know. Could Nintendo be sending out smaller shipments like they're doing in Japan. I mean I expected some demand and I was pleasantly surprised at the insane amounts of 3DS units at A-kon but still.

Yep, internet is turned off even if you leave wireless on. Though streetpass is still active. I assume this is a battery saving feature otherwise it's a bug. (also explains why no one on my FL is shown as playing the game lol)
As soon as you shut down the game (not just suspend it) wireless goes back to normal.

I swear they sped this game up. Text scrolls quickly and I don't feel that Navi took forever explaining how doors open this time around.
Also, the gyro stuff is pretty neat as opposed to the crap I thought it was going to be.
