I checked the original and I was completely wrong. What I was thinking of was a different hole that drops you into a room with two bubbles that leads somewhere else. The forest temple is my water temple...

I hate the fishing pond too. I managed to catch the 16 lbs. fish by the reeds and get the golden scale, and last heart piece I needed so it was all worth it. I haven't gotten the fourth bottle yet, and I dunno if I will bother. Also, I never really cared for catching all the Skultullas, since you only need 50 to get everything from the spider house. I may pick them all up in the dungeons for fun, but the overworld ones.. like the ones randomly in trees at night.. probably not.

In MQ, I just beat The Well after the Forest Temple. I like the Well in MQ, they managed to almost make a new dungeon out of it. Also, as I recall, the Water Temple was actually easier in MQ.

And yeah, when you beat the first game, Master Quest will become selectable along with the original on the title screen. Both games have their own three saves.

EDIT: Am I the only one who is disappointed by the way they did the boss challenges? First of all, you get the bare minimum needed to fight them. This completely takes out some of the fun challenges like killing Ghoma in a few seconds with the Deku stick trick (Though I still killed her in 27 seconds without it) and, not having the Biggoron Sword at all kind of sucks, especially if you are going for record times. I think they should have just had the game remember what exactly you had at the time you fought the boss, then maybe add something interesting like a 3 heart mode, or a double damage mode. I feel that this part of the game was kind of poorly planned out.

Deku stick trick? Never heard of that. Mind explaining?

[Moonbread]

I believe he's referring to destroying a deku stick properly so you still hold the bottom half which cannot break, thus having a shorter Master Sword, basically.

[Chakaa]

Glitch? But... you get a heart piece that way...

I wasn't referring to the pot, I was referring to Link's little spin thing when the pot activated.

[Moosh]

Doesn't Link do the spin thing whenever a secret is triggered (chest appears, ect)?

Also what happens when we hit 1000 posts?

I don't think it' meant to happen though, it just looks very unnatural.

Also what happens when we hit 1000 posts?

We open the Majora's Mask 3DS thread.






Also, I noticed something. I'm not sure if I remember this correctly, but wasn't the Goron's Ruby on that central platform thing in Goron City before you beat Dodongo's Cavern in the N64 OoT? It wasn't there when I played the 3DS version.

No, the pedestal was always empty.

So you know what I hate? The stupid horse race! Why? It forces you to accept the second race, thus making it impossible to earn your money back.

I'm currently writing a walkthrough for GameFAQs if anyone is interested. It's going great, I'm at the Fire Temple now. I'm trying to get everything as early as possible, ad I've never had this much stuff at this point in the game!

[The Satellite]

Good luck on it, FefeRawft.

Meh, the race isn't that hard. Just pull ahead of Ingo by tricking him into trying to block you on the outside, then sneak by on the inside. Then stay towards the inside of the track and use your dash wisely. Like, I always tap all but one, let the carrots regenerate, then go again, using a dash about every two seconds.

EDIT: While on the topic of the horse race, enjoy this epic ragtime piano sight-read of it:

[Chakaa]

Good luck on it, FefeRawft.

Thanks! This is my first walkthrough, so I don't expect it to be great. If it goes over well, I'm going to make another for Link's Awakening. Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying typing this thing!

[Moosh]

I know that once you get the hang of it, the horse race is cake, but having not played in at least a year, it gets rather frustrating. I just wish he'd actually pay you the 50 rupees he promised. That way your money would stay constant.

[The Satellite]

Dude. You get a horse. I'm pretty sure that's worth way more than 50 rupees.

Actually dude, if you're riding around in the pen, jump the two fences inside it, directly in the middle. Unless they changed it (doubt it), you'll get two blue rupees with this method. So that's some income returned. And... it was really 50 rupees? I coulda sworn it was less. O_o

[Chakaa]

I find the easiest way to beat the horse race is to use all the carrots at he start, and immediately use them all when they regenerate. That always works for my, but you barely eat Ingo with that method. I'll have to try The Satellite's method sometime.

You pay 10 to ride, which you can get back inside there. Then you BET 50 on the race. You never lose these 50 unless you lose the race. If you win the race you then get to race for the horse, if you lose that you come off clean.

Also, I use 1~3 at the start and get the front of him, then I keep myself in position either:
A. Right in front of him so he can't get past me, or:
B. right next to the fence to cut the corners better to keep my speed at max.

I feel that the race was much easier in the DS version, but that may just be from experience with playing the game.
