XZero Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 So the U.S. preorder bonus is pretty lame:http://www.zeldadungeon.net/2011/06/ocarina-of-time-3d-north-american-pre-order-bonus/ I'm pretty sure I got that exact same poster from Nintendo Power back when the game was originally released. Oh well, the game still looks fantastic. On the one hand, any artwork from Ocarina is nice. On the other, the picture I linked to on the first page (1st post) would have been greatly preferred. It's actually a new image and looks absolutely beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Is it just me, or is the game way too saturated? I'm not saying I want it to be all brown and gray, but I dunno, that's probably my biggest turn off with the remake. It's too bright, and the water texture looks awful. I dunno. I'd like to see a MM remake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XZero Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 From what I've heard, it looks much better in motion on the 3DS screen. The developers' goal was to make it look more like the promo art back in 1998, which tended to have brighter colors than the in-game graphics.

Benjamin Briggs Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 everyone who says this needs to shut up and actually play wind waker, since it's clearly been so long that they can't remember getting attacked by sharks or giant flying pufferfish or seeing hidden treasure glowing or finding cool mysterious islands or suddenly getting whisked up by a tornado or sucked into a whirlpool created by an enormous and terrifying squid monster I remember all of those things, it was still boring as fuck, and I never finished the game because of it also there is a dangerous amount of hurr durrr going on in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The gritty, foreboding dark of Twilight Princess,how was tp gritty? was it the colors that made it gritty? or are we talking about plot here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_C Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I thought Majora's Mask was already on Virtual Console. It is. I have it. Great game. Its such a different experience from OoT and a lot deeper than you might think at first. I enjoy it immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 how was tp gritty? was it the colors that made it gritty? or are we talking about plot here? Just the general theme. I felt it was much darker than what's been in most other Zelda games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Shadow Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 majoras mask is the best zelda and i challenge to fisticuffs all who feel otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 majoras mask is the best zelda and i challenge to fisticuffs all who feel otherwise ww and mm are so close that i cant say one is better than the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Link's Awakening, and you fucking know it. EDIT: Bah! Canada gets the game on Sunday, the 19th. Fucking Canadian delayed release dates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wand of Gamelon hands down. I mean, can you even try to find a copy these days? Ebay says: Majora's mask: at best 40$, can go higher. Wand of Gamelon: 50-160$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 WW is probably the best Zelda, but MM is the favorite of all of us Highly Sophisticated Connoiseurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar Man Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Egads, thread becoming "which Zelda's the best" now Which is obviously, as Damned said, LA. Tied with LttP. Everybody else's opinions are wrong /sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 FACT: Link's Awaking has a remix album. FACT: None of the other Zelda games have a remix album. FACT: The Oracle games aren't really Zelda games, so they don't count. Therefore, Link's Awakening is the best Zelda. Ergo factso makeitupasIgo.

Scufo Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 WW has by far the best representation of Ganondorf, which in my eyes is worth a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid wind Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 LA is an acceptable candidate for best zelda game I'm confused that WW gets brought up in these discussions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wind Waker was good and gosh-darned pretty, but I also wonder why it keeps getting brought up as one of the best. They neutered the game and added fluff all at the same time. It took the series into an interesting direction, but meh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I wasn't hooked by WW either, though it is quite beautiful. It's one of the few Zelda games I didn't beat. I tried to go back to WW a couple weeks ago and I couldn't get into it, but I did go back to Ocarina a bit ago and I was able to pickup right where I left off. I guess it has to do more with nostalgia and familiarity with the latter. I wish I had the time to start Wind Waker anew, but I just continued off an old save.

The Damned Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 There's something about Link's Awakening that I have always found kind of interesting. In Link's Awakening, the characters,the bosses, the temples you visit... they all warn you that the island is the dream of the Wind Fish. The Owl tells you that once you defeat the final Nightmare, the Wind Fish will awaken and then the island, and all its inhabitant, will cease to exist. You know this so much, and in the end... you do it anyway. I have to wonder if anyone just decided to not finish the game and left the island to continue existing.

RDX Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Um excuse me I spent 2 years studying Zelda theory I believe my opinion holds more weight than all of yours. Let me tell you how it is: MM > ALttP > LA > TWW > OoT > LoZ > OoA > TMC > AoL > TP > DS Zeldas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had the time to start Wind Waker anew, but I just continued off an old save. you should finish it, the near end of the game triforce fetch quest is a pain but everything after it is great, maybe the best ending in the series. I don't think the game is amazing overall and I think it started a lot of negative trends the series is still reeling from, but the ending is great There's something about Link's Awakening that I have always found kind of interesting.In Link's Awakening, the characters,the bosses, the temples you visit... they all warn you that the island is the dream of the Wind Fish.

LA is amazing. it's probably my third or fourth favorite zelda game, it's hard for me to get into it and play it because of the gameboy limitations(if you could equip 3-4 items at a time...), but it probably occupies a more special place in my heart than any of them except majora's mask, and I got it in 2006 it seems like I have the most love for zelda games in which link stumbles into some strangely familiar but alien land that isn't hyrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 So has anyone here gotten it yet? I heard Europe got the game on Friday. Yes indeed! I'm loving it, all the little graphical updates are great, and the 3D effect is pretty good. Especially in moments like when Navi flies around the Kokiri village in the beginning. Controls feel nice and smooth, but playing the ocarina doesn't feel as intuitive as it did on the N64. Apparently you have to beat the regular game before you can play Master Quest and the Boss Rush mode, but I don't mind. I'm enjoying every minute of it. I recommend it to anyone who is still having doubts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 When was the last time you played OoT? I played it three years ago, so I'm worried I won't enjoy it as much. Also I tend to watch OoT videos on Youtube when I'm particularly bored, so, I dunno I never really stopped playing it. (And yet I rate OoT as being an average Zelda game. I'm strange).

Scufo Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I am glad no one is nominating TP as the best Zelda game. Although that might just be because it is the newest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
