Got a call from my old editor just now... he wants me to join him for a Nintendo press event next Wednesday, to try out the 3DS (again), including this game. The only difference this time is that it sounds like I'll be able to take footage :3

Now, I'm going to assume we'll be getting to play the GDC-demo, but just in case we're allowed to explore more of the game, is there anything in specific any of you want me to capture?

At first, I was going to say "The Temple of Time," but I have a pretty good idea of what that'll look like. (See: Twilight Princess.)

So instead: how about the towns? Those were pretty limited on the N64. I'll be happy to see what they've done with them.

Also, how about Kokiri Forest? We haven't seen much of that yet, and it'd be nice to see whether they made a forest with, you know, more TREES.

The Market, if at all possible. I'd love to see what they've done to improve that place.

Sorry, to clarify, when I said "the towns," I meant Kokiri Village and the Market. So yes. Seconded.

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

Yeah, alright, market, and Kokiri Village. I'll keep this in mind. Of course, I'll do as much as I have time for, so for all I know, I might be able to cover a lot of it... depending on how much time I get with it. Of course, as I said, if it's the GDC demo again, we're only going to be able to choose between three "area demos", just like it was with Spirit Tracks. For example, you choose "Dungeon", "Boss" or "Field" or whatever. But yeah, we'll see :3

If you only get to choose between those three area types, I suggest focusing on dungeons.

[Chakaa]

Why focus on the dungeons? What if it's just Inside the Deku Tree again? I would go with "Field" type, just because there's already a lot of Deku Tree/Boss footage and pictures already.

[Jared]

Agree with Fefe.
If you could go into Kokiri Forest, I would like to see close-ups of the Kokiri Shop, The Twins House, and the Lost Woods (If you can't go int Hyrule Field )

[Nicholas Steel]

Pictures of Sheik and Ganon would be nice.

Then I will amend my request.

Any dungeon OTHER than the Great Deku Tree. Heck, the Deku Tree doesn't even come to mind, usually, when I say the word "dungeon"...

Pictures of Sheik and Ganon would be nice.

Excellent point. We haven't seen either of them yet. Have we even seen Princess Zelda, for that matter? I would be in favor of seeing more major characters, if they pop up.

[Twilight-Prince]

I personally wouldn't mind seeing some of Lon Lon Ranch.

Well, we haven't seen Sheik in video, but we have seen him (...her?) in a picture. Can't say I wouldn't be interested in footage, though. I don't think there's been any Princess, yet.

Any characters really as if it's a newer demo/full game then there could be graphical improvements etc.

[Jared]

I would absolutely LOVE to see the Market also!

In the latest installment of Iwata Asks, Iwata and Miyamoto talk about OoT 3DS, as well as why the original game is still held in such high regard. It's an interesting read. Iwata even gives a hint of new elements in the game:

Of course, the Nintendo 3DS version of Ocarina of Time is crammed with interesting things that weren't in the Nintendo 64 version, but we'll wait to talk about those the release.

It's doubtful he's referencing the 3D capabilities of the platform or the new control scheme and inventory improvements, since those are both touched on in the interview. It could be the Master Quest, but it seems like the reference of new material is to the original game. I doubt they're adding, say, an entire dungeon, though. Any ideas as to what he could mean?
