Legend of Zelda - The official Zelda thread

Okay, the Twinmold thing screams GIMMICK even more than it did back in the old version.

Cripes.

And while I guess some people like Fishing, its not for me. I never liked it in OoT though so I guess I'm just the minority that doesn't like Fishing minigames in their normal games because they're never terribly fun.

Also at least they gave Chateau Romani a [tornado fang]ing use this time around, N64 version it was sort of worthless considering its price and how you basically had to already be a good way through the game to even utilize it.

[Amatiramisu]

Speaking of Romani that [tornado fang]ing alien fight is actually possible now because of gyroscope aiming.

Oh wait, no it's not. The horse is even more impossible to control somehow.

....Why are you using Epona to fight the Aliens in the first place?  It's much easier to just stay in one place, play the Inverse Song of Time, and pick them off one by one.

[Satoryu]

Yeah I always just stood on top of the box in front of the barn and shot them when they got close.

[Sakura Leic]

Not to mention the Map shows where they are so you can keep an eye on who's closing in where.

[Sakura Leic]

Seriously the Bartender is the best damn character in the game.

[Phi]

He also did this.

I'm now 99% done with the game. I did not beat Majora yet cause I played the Song of Time to keep everything and I don't know if the game saves after beating him. I also never got the room key, but that's not important to me, nor is completing the notebook.

::edit:: You can save the game after the credits.

YEAH WELL
YOU KNOW WHAT
I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE IT'S COOL AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BOX THING FUUUUUCK

[Mirby]

I actually have no issues with the new swimming controls. hated them at first but the beaver races kinda acclimated me to them. helped that I inverted them via the options menu.

about to beat the game with everything. even did the kafei/anju subsequent again so I can see their wedding during the credits

[Sakura Leic]

Speaking of things you don't really have to do again at the end of the game, does anyone have any specific things they do before fighting Majora, like fighting all the bosses or do as many side quests all over again or just the important ones like Kafei and Anju's etc?

[Amatiramisu]

I only do a few more essential sidequests between dungeons. (Like the Romani ones before Great Bay.)

I clean up after Stone Tower so I can have Fierce Deity before Majora.

[Sakura Leic]

I mean like do them again after you done them once.

[Mirby]

I'm pleased with myself that I managed to defeat the bosses again and save koume to get a bottle in her minigame and do all the first day stuff for the kafei anju quest before midnight of the first day in my "final three days" rush to prepare for the final boss

[Sakura Leic]

Here's how to get all the masks in the Original and 3DS version as there are some differences.  This video also gets each mask as early as possible.

How To Collect ALL 24 Masks in Majora's Mask 3D/Nintendo 64 - Completion Bonus

[Amatiramisu]

I mean like do them again after you done them once.

Er, no? There's no purpose in it unless completing one sidequest unlocks another that I missed.

[Sakura Leic]

Er, no? There's no purpose in it unless completing one sidequest unlocks another that I missed.

Exactly but there are people who do these sorts of things before fighting Majora anyway because they want to do as many good things before the final boss fight since all your efforts get reset everytime you start the 3 day cycle again.   That's what I was asking, there's no purpose to doing it but people do it to get warm fuzzies inside.

Like someone will fight all the bosses again or do the Kafei side quest again before fighting Majora.   Or maybe make sure Romani doesn't get Lobotomized or Lulu gets her eggs, things like that.  You'd be surprised what people would do even if it serves absolutely no purpose.

I was wondering if people here did something like that, like Mirby does.

[Amatiramisu]

When you put it that way, it was funny you mentioned it because after saving the Gorons, I legitimately felt bad about resetting. I kind of empathized with them more than the Dekus or the Zoras since the Gorons were in a legitimately life-threatening situation and they did the best job of conveying it.

But I just rationalize it as "I'm going to fix this ultimately anyway, so it's best that I set this aside and fix all their problems in one fell swoop by beating Majora."

[Police Girl]

Wow, they actually made it so you need to be a Goron to steal the room at the Hotel that's reserved for the Goron also named Link.

That's actually a pretty sensible change, if a bit silly.

Often times I'd clear all four bosses in the same day before tackling Majora, yeah.  Just felt really satisfying, plus it's an excuse to get more use out of Fierce Deity.  The side-quests I didn't redo regularly, but once in a while just to see how much I could get done.  Anju and Kafei, in particular, seeings how their quest is the most involved.

Romani...hm, not so much.  I guess it has something to do with her doing absolutely nothing during the ghost attack.  And hey, they do bring her back, even if she is a bit shaken up.

...so yeah, I'm an ass.

Zelda Majora's Mask - Deku Palace Acapella

I really like this one a lot.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, that one was very well done. I was so hoping he did that one.

[Soultrigger]

I'm really surprised at the changes they made for every boss, they seemed more strategic and involved this time around. It's kind of funny that every boss has some eyeball-arrow gimmick, though every dungeon does have an arrow variant to be fair. Sad that they nerfed ice arrows though.

Really disappointed that Majora is still stupidly easy though, even without FD. Just the bow makes him a cakewalk. I tried to fight each form using Deku/Goron/Zora respectively, though I found it more gimmicky and frustrating overall, considering the alternative.

All in all, still love Majora's Mask to this day. In retrospect, I think it's underwhelming that practically almost every sidequest leads to a piece of heart, but the sidequests were already fun in and of themselves to begin with.

I'm starting Link Between Worlds to give myself an excuse to play my MMn3DS. Starting with Hero Mode was a terrible idea...
