To throw in my two cents, I think it's a different book. But that's just me.

Onto the important issue. Now that OoT 3D is finally released, has anybody found anything really new in it, aside from these little easter eggs? Anything new?

Nope but it is worth it, I haven't gotten to Master Quest yet (Heck not even done with Young link only got it today and i was getting stuff done for youtube). It feels so much better so much more fluent, if you don't want a 3DS yet hold off if you own one its a MUST BUY (At least in my books)

Let me ask this then. I didn't really think OoT was that great anyways (it's one of my least favorite Zeldas), and I already own the Gamecube version with Master Quest. I don't really care how fancy the graphics are. And I'm stingy with my money. Is it worth it for me?

Re-playable boss mode is something new. Looking for new Easter eggs add more exploration content if you put it that way.

No. Also, if you don't think the game is that great in the first place, why would you consider getting it? I mean, it's an Ocarina of Time remake, not a sequel. It's the same game, and if you didn't like the first one, you're not gonna like... the first one again.

But no, there's no new additions other than what has already been known for a while. A bit of a downer, really Not that I was expecting anything else.

That video, and some of the comments here, make me very happy about this title.

First of all: the double-damage enemies in Master Quest. This is HUGE. Ever since I first finished OoT, I have said that OoT REALLY needed an increased difficulty mode, and when Master Quest came out, it only took care of some of that need. Enemies were still not very dangerous and you rarely fought more than one at a time. Doubling the amount of damage they inflict is a big deal. It takes a very functional combat system and pushes you that much harder to master it. I am looking forward to trying that out.

Secondly, Boss Gauntlet mode sounds like a nice addition. The Castlevania DS games have something like that, called "Boss Rush Mode," and I never really felt a taste for them. But this is Ocarina of Time. Whole different story. Bring it on, I say.

Really? Never heard of that before. However, Japan are a weird people.

There are plenty of things to say are weird in Japan, but let's be fair: the direction of their writing system and books is not weird. It just developed differently.

Anyway, yes. What we expect to be the "back" cover of a book is typically printed as the "front" cover in Japanese print. However, seeing as the Zelda games are closer to western-style fantasy than eastern, it is not much of a stretch to imagine books being portrayed as printed the other way around. In other words, it could be either.



So... I'm sad that I'm not going to be able to play this game for quite awhile. I don't have money for a new handheld RIGHT after launch, especially when I want to prioritize the next Zelda game for a console I DO own. But I WILL play it eventually. I had to literally wait years to play the original OoT. If I have to do the same for OoT 3D, I will. This is one game I play for its own virtue, NOT just so I can keep up with the buzz. Ocarina of Time, you will be mine. Er...again.



...Also, something I mentioned in my Spirit Tracks review:

I wonder what this means for future Zelda games on the 3DS? Surely, the 3DS must be capable of Gamecube-like cel-shading, and so the Wind Waker look could return in full force -- this time looking just as good as it originally did, rather than a boiled-down version like we saw in PH and ST. To be honest, I fully expect Toon Link to make more appearances, but the reintroduction of Ocarina of Time could give Nintendo a chance to go another direction if they felt like it. Really, who knows?... Of course, I'd be extremely surprised to see them use cel-shading in Skyward Sword but not on the 3DS.. that'd be the reverse of what I would have expected.

Alright guys, so OoT 3D came out today, so how many of you plan on going to the nearest Wal-Mart or GameStop to get it?
Im'ma go to Wal-Mart in the afternoon!

[MoscowModder]

I'd like to go get it if I can find the time today. Can't wait!

[Adem]

I thought it came out a couple of days ago. Guuueeessss not.

Unfortunately, I'm sort of with Radien on this one. I don't have the money to spend on a new system...However, as soon as I do, this will be my first purchase.

I just picked up my copy at GameStop a half hour ago, and now I'm playing it. I have to say, the 3D graphics add a ton to the game. I liked the little bit I played of the original, but I love this. I'm not sure exactly what it is about it, but the entire world seems more interesting in the game. Rather than dark, dull colors in the Kokiri Forest, everything's bright and happy. From the small amount I've played so far, I don't have enough good things to say about it!

[Christian]

OMG yes! Finally i'm going to be able to play the BEST GAME EVER! Hype though the roof! Off to K-mart i shall go now

[Ice Cream Link]

Alright guys! Get your copies right NOW! I wanna talk about it!
\(^ U^)/

[Moonbread]

My copy is sitting in my N64. Does that count for anything?

As it stands, I'll probably get it, but not any time soon. Perhaps a price drop will happen? Probably not :/

Okay, first order of business:

Screw all who has a 3DS and the game already !

Just kidding of course, but man I'm totally going to be left out of the loop, cause I'm broke ...
Guess I'll be sticking with my rom of the original for now .

[Anthus]

I got it, and at the end of the day, it is the same game with some more polygons. The 3D is a nice touch, but it does little to actually improve upon game play. You'd think it would help with aiming, but the hookshot now has a full on laser instead of just a dot. I'm not disappointed by any means, cause it is one of my favorite games ever, but I just don't see why people are so hyped and jumping off of buildings and s*** when this game came out 13 years ago.. in 3D.. by the 1998 standards.

However, I will say this blows to port of Rayman 2 out of the water. Rayman "3D" is an unpolished half assed attempt at UbiSoft making money off of a game that was once great, but has not aged too well.

But I guess OoT is "new" again to a new generation of gamers. But maaaan, I can look back and say I remember when it first came out. Feels nice man.

EDIT: I will say I love the new subscreen setup. It is very easy to use, and flows well with the game, and makes good use of the touchscreen. The Water Temple won't be such a nightmare if the Iron Boots are an Item instead of Equipment, or "Gear" this time around.
