I haven't figured that out yet either.
Nintendo are sadistic bastards
First they put Majora's Mask in Animal Crossing and get Bill Trinen to show it to everyone, then they release a Majoras Mask soundtrack CD on US Club Nintendo, and now they put Majoras Mask in Link Between Worlds for no reason other than to fuck with us
Goddamnit Nintendo, it's my favourite game ever made. Stop teasing me you assholes and announce the goddamn remake

Thanks for the info!
THIS. Majora's Mask is like my all-time favorite game, followed by a number of non-Zelda titles, followed by the rest of the Zelda series. It needs to be remade!!

It is 60 fps.
How should we answer that? There is no order. You have to do it yourself.
That's why it's so good

You can buy items after finishing the 3rd dungeon and getting all 3 pendants or whatever. You can buy them before you even get the
Master Sword
To map items/weapons to X, you need to find the
pouch in the middle of the little forest south of Link's house.

Question for those who have beat most/all of Lorule dungeons... you get the
Hylian shield in the Turtle Rock dungeon right? And the Power Glove upgrade in the desert dungeon?

That's right.
I view the Oracle games as an expansion of LA, really. They're true sequels in gameplay and engine.
I would kill for a true remake of LA though
I'm 30 right now. I got ALTTP for making Honor Roll on my report card the Summer following it's release (along with a Super Soaker 50!). I remember spending the whole Summer playing thru every inch of that game as a child. I remember crying when I finally beat the game, saying goodbye to everyone during the sequence before the credits rolled...and then that reel, with the triforce pieces rotating...godamn!
Reading thru this thread really has me wishing I could afford a 3DSXL right now

Okay so after completing it at 100% (pieces of heart and maimais), I finally beat the game just now.
Can we just talk about how great that final boss is ? It was really clever and
. Awesome. One of my favorite Zelda fight ever

it got me thinking about a new strategy towards the end. I didn't understand how to hurt him one last time since he was deflecting all my arrows until it finally hit me all of a sudden

I just beat the Palace of Darkness (my first Lorule dungeon), and I was surprised by how much fun I had playing it. I love the openness of the game; I'm just exploring all of Hyrule before even taking on the next dungeon.
I really hope that Aonuma can capture that same magic with Zelda Wii U. I think I enjoy 2D dungeons more than I enjoy 3D dungeons. I'm not sure how much my enjoyment can be attributed to nostalgia, but I really, really love this game.

Well, I think Aounuma said something about how Zelda Wii U was going to take it's inspiration from Zelda ALBW. At least I hope he actually said that and this isn't just wishful thinking on my part.

Really hope Amazon has a sale on this soon.
I want it but I'm already over my planned budget for this year. This was just something that was off my radar. I could take some out of my 2014 funds but then it's either Bravely Default or this.

You have to bring the giant bomb flower (from south of Thieves Town) to break the boulder covering the drain outside

Man, nice to see that most everyone who's blasted through the game is so positive about it.
I'm moving at a slower pace and doing a lot of backtracking/exploring. Only done 2 dungeons so far (Tower of Hera being the second). I'm really enjoying returning to the Hyrule of 20 years ago and seeing how it's changed. I also like the little touches that have carried over from the subsequent 3D Zeldas (like Dampe -- I don't think that's too much of a spoiler).
Time to check out the third dungeon, and hopefully visit Lorule soon!

Cool, thanks.

I wish I hadn't seen the first demo of this game though... The Tower of Hera was exactly the same, so I knew everything to do and what the boss was even. I was hoping the demo was not the full dungeon, but it was sadly.
My order, so far.
1. Eastern Palace
2. Tower of Hera
3. House of Gales
4. Thieves' Hideout
5. Skull Woods
I am now stuck and have no clue where to go.
So! I'm trying to hunt down Maiamai's instead so I can buy and upgrade stuff.

I got this game Friday morning but I've only had enough time to make it through the first dungeon. This game is amazing so far
Thanks!

Is there a shovel? Digging took up about 80% of my time in Link's Awakening
Nope.

I wasn't 100% sure how the game was going to pan out at first. But getting to Lorule, and the game opening up in combination with the great atmosphere, music, and...
... like the kids say these days, I can't.

I think they're absolutely great myself. The game runs very smooth too which makes the experience that much better.
Would be great. Termina has far more scope than Hyrule anyway. It has a vibrant town, a swamp, fields, a gigantic snow covered mountain, a barren wasteland and canyon and an entire goddamn ocean
It would be amazing to expand upon
Not really, but (second half spoilers)
you *will* eventually get the Sand Rod, which enables you to unearth things that are buried in sand. Not coincidentally, it looks like a shovel. It's one of the few items that isn't available from Ravio initially.
Are most people having large problems with this? I dunno about hero mode, but if you run into that tower with proper upgrades with stacked out on fairies I feel like it wouldn't be that bad. I finished it under 15 minutes easily on normal.
Either way great game... will play it again definitely sometime with hero mode probably, but I'm not going to jump into it immediately.
Got 20k Rupees (I went bonkers on the farming)
Fire Rod 2 makes it easy tbh. The thing is, hero mode is kicking my ass.

got the game earlier and nostalgia bomb everywhere when playing , even got link to the past sounds :3 , game is fantastic so far and i only beat the first dungeon.
I think you're confusing linearity for handholding. Skyward Sword is a linear game where you don't really choose the order in which you do the main dungeons, but the overworld areas and dungeons still require you to explore and figure things out to progress through them. Linearity itself is not handholding.
I just went to the Desert Palace in ALBW for my second Lorule dungeon. Time freezes and text comes on the screen telling me that I need to go to the palace and I'll need to manipulate sand. Also my map has a big red x telling me where my destination is. Skyward Sword was a lot more text heavy than it needed to be, but that's pretty much all it did, too. You land in an area, your map tells you your destination, and Fi tells you what you already know. How do you get to the destination on the map? Figure it out yourself.
SS' problem was mainly text speed.
